nominated for a record 14 oscars, this is truly one of the most important films in history. the first hour actually bored me incredibly and anne baxters performance was a little over the top, but bette davis and george sanders put in powerful performances and the final 80 minute... ...( read more )
All About Eve is full of great dialogue and incredible, incredible acting. However there were points that dragged and I found myself getting a bit bored. But it was that last 20 minutes that knocked me on my ass. Bette Davis was brilliant and as much as I hated her character, Ann... ...( read more )
Tremendous film-making. All about Eve is an all-round perfect film, terrific performances, magnificent script, brilliant direction and an air of timelessness about it.
This is the first time I have experienced a Bette Davis film and what a phenomenal actress, I couldn't imagine ... ...( read more )
Probably the greatest script ever written. Wonderful characters clearly detailed, and literary dialogue chewed on and spat out perfectly by each and every cast member. Literally everyone is perfect in their roles, even an early small role by Marilyn Monroe has her delivering two ... ...( read more )
"If nothing else, there's applause... like waves of love pouring over the footlights."
The quality of All About Eve has been much discussed and widely acclaimed in the decades following its release. All About Eve is a truly incredible movie that is hard to... ...( read more )
Great Dialouge better performances. Betty Davis is at the hieght of her power
nearly made me never want to see another film again. by the time it'd got an hour and a half in (i was really trying to concentrate) i had completely swtiched off. SNOOZE-FEST! boring. there are now two films that nearly killed cinema for me. the other was oceans eleven. can't un... ...( read more )
Flawlessly executed drama, fabulous screenplay and acting. a picture formed by pure cynicism and tons of charm. Bette Davis and Anne Baxter are the theater's ultimate bitches. nice cameo by the beautiful Marilyn Monroe.
Along with Sunset Boulevard, this is one of the all time great classics which dares to take a look behind the curtain of Hollywood. The script is sharp and quick and provides a glaring look at the spotlight of fame. Bette Davis gives, in my opinion, her greatest performance here,... ...( read more )
Kinda convincing that this was nominated for 14 Oscars. Anne Baxter and Bette Davis were so good in this one, but both were nominated, thereby ruining either's chance at it. Plus, Marilyn Monroe and the guy who voiced Shere Khan are in it.
"All About Eve" is a great timeless tale of ambition, manipulation and betrayal, and certainly one of the best classics ever. Everything perfectly works in this movie: the direction is very precise and tight; dialogs are very acid and intelligent; Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George... ...( read more )
Boy what goes around comes around. Ann played such a great part but in the end still lonely. what a cast and look Marilyn.
No one could or can act like the great Better Davis..Today's so-called Hollywood stars should take courses in acting to see how it was done by Miss Davis..
14 Oscar nominations is quite a feat and All About Eve makes it look easy.
What makes All About Eve special is the stellar cast and incredible performance by Bette Davis, her meglomania, her bitterness was so believable and strangely likable, and in my oopinion completely outsho... ...( read more )
I like how this story can remain the same no matter in what sort of setting. I would love seeing a truly traditional modern updating of this.
Just finished watch All About Eve, I am totally amazed by the movie, I can't believe it was made in 1950, it was more than a movie,there are so much to be remembered.
It was a story about how a nobody becomes a super star, how she tried all the lies and deceptions to get the trus... ...( read more )
Eve sure looked like a nice girl what made the movie very ejoyable to watch, ive been waiting to long to see this, like allot of movies. Bette Davis her performance must be the best one that i have seen after E.Tayler her performance in Virginia Woolf. This is probaly one of the ... ...( read more )
Bette Davis is maybe the best reason for anyone to watch it, as well as the the excellent work by Manciewicz (co-writter of the script for Welles's "Citizen Kane").
Hollywood at it's knockdown, drag out "worst" -- in regard to the story itself. Fine film with some really great individual scenes.
Watched it last night; oh boy that Anne Baxter! The cameraman knew how to focus on those twinkles in her eyes; utterly devastating film, she is like J.R. Ewing in that she schemes and yet you still love her...
A really great film. It's long but there are some really great performances that any movie fan should not miss.
"Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night."
i absolutly love this movie it is a classic bette davis gives a wonderful proformance this is the movie where my fav. quote comes from!!
next to Now Voyager this is my very favorite Davis film. It has everything - love, hate, ambition, back stabbing and back biting. Terrific!!!
One of the best movies made with strong female leads, great direction and writing. I mean Bette is in it so do I need to say more???
