All time fave girl power movie!
A creepy and cruel look at show business, and a hell of fight between bitches.
Loved all the great performances, specially Bette Davis, who steals all the movie.
To comment on how witty this movie really is, would be like peeling a fruit that had no skin to peel.
this is bette's smartest movie. she just sizzles. i live the banter between all the characters. it is so sharp and all are delivered with a juicy vibrancy that just crackles with electricity. not to be missed!
I absolutely loved this movie, very interesting to watch this young Bette Davis play against her opponent Anne Baxter. The plot was good, the cast lovely. Didn't miss sex or violence, the sign of a truly well-made movie!
My number 2 favorite movie of all time. Bette Davis is a god in this movie. Her portrayal of Margot Channing is the best acting I've ever seen. The screenplay is absolutely fantastic and the direction is near perfect. This is a must see for anyone who loves movies. It's truly great.
This is one of my favourite films ever.
Bette Davis is incredible - such a complex character but extremely well played.
Anne Baxter is also excellent - she plays her character well enough to manipulate the viewer as well as the people around her.
Amazing movie! Hilarious, classy...( read more)
the incomparable davis in one of her best ever, known for its sharp wit and smooth underlying tones of betrayal and insult its probably the first example of a "dramedy" ever presented, an amazing cinematic feat
bette davis is still the queen of acting! meh who can disagree with that?!? wel maybe meryl streep is the queen of acting PRESENTLY, but.. bette WAS the queen! mwahaha!
Acting: perfect
Visuals: unimportant
Screenplay: best dialogue ever
Best role by. George Sanders
I think I like Anne Baxter in this move more so than Bette Davis.....remember Anne Baxter in The Ten Commandments?
Flawless performances from both Davis and Baxter. A thought-provoking film about aging and betrayal in Hollywood.
davis's classic performance in this is an all time fav of mine. such a classy film with snappy dialogue and great plot!!
One of the best scripts of all time with an acerbic, biting wit. Bette Davis is such a glorious bitch! <3
V. familiar, i feel like i have already watched it, yet i am sure i haven't....
Great, obvious, twist...
This movie broadeded my horizons significantly. This is when I started watching older movies as movies and not as novelties. A truly excellent film for any generation.
I dont no about this film, i think it will be good to see. i like all the old stuff.
bUCKLE YOUR SEAT BELTS ITS GOING TO BE A BUMPY RIDE...NO ONE COULD SAY THESE WORDS LIKE BETTY DAVIS.
The most perfect film I've ever seen. Every aspect is flawless, from story, costume, set design, music, to the wonderfully acidic Bette Davis.
