    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..

    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.
  • April 5, 2009
    watch this one any time you might think of watching any of these other stinkers.

    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)t of other people and at last betrayed everybody and blablabla. I was totally fooled like anybody at first, I was deceived by her pure look and thought she was a nice good young lady,but when everything became clear I felt so stupid of myself and angry for what she've done to her "friends" .
    I can't help thinking about myself,ourselves,our lives --- for how many times we have been used by other people because we're people with kindness and innocence who are trying to help. Yeah, that's the world, that's the motherfuckin' world.
    Look on the bright side, there are still nice persons, there are people who're willing to pay back after the favor you've done for him/her.But that's too much, I'm TOTALLY satisfied if I won't be cheated or fooled around by those who've helped.
    Ok, I should stop acting like a pessimistic bitch, after all there are a lot of good people, and I believe there's nothing to be shamed of to be a kind person,but bear in mind, to me and to all my friend. Dig into the essence,explore the hidden side, don't be fooled by the appearance,after all not everyone is as good as us.

  • March 20, 2009
    Definitely a classic.
  • March 18, 2009
    Bette Davis is a cool badass in this movie.
  • March 15, 2009
    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").
  • March 11, 2009
    Hollywood at it's knockdown, drag out "worst" -- in regard to the story itself. Fine film with some really great individual scenes.
  • February 28, 2009
    A really great film. It's long but there are some really great performances that any movie fan should not miss.

    This was a great film to watch. It had a great storyline and great acting. Bette Davis was amazing.
  • January 18, 2009
    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???
  • January 18, 2009
    How to be a harpy, advanced course. Not the kind of story which interests me more, but we must recognize dialogs are brilliant.
  • January 12, 2009
    I thought the performances is where this film shines.
  • January 8, 2009
    The bitchiest film ever made. An outstanding script with dynamite performances. It's a brutal attack on Hollywood and the fanaticism with celebrities. Timeless and way ahead of its time. It makes a nice companion piece to both A Star is Born (with Garland) and Scorsese's King of ...( read more)Comedy.

    a classic it is worth seeing
  • January 3, 2009
    Directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz
    Starring: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill

    The Review:

    Truly one of the best classic I ever seen, so far. The dialogue is scintillating, the characters and the actress, simply amazing, great direction, great ...( read more)screenplay, nice score.

    That's All About Eve. What made me take my hats off is the fact that all the actress were playing at the same level and so the actors. 14 Oscar nominations weren't hyperbolic. It deserve it.

    "Funny business, a woman's career - the things you drop on your way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them again when you get back to being a woman. That's one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not: being a woman. Sooner or later, we've got to work at it, no matter how many other careers we've had or wanted."

    I have a huge love for films such as this. I am not sure why, this antiquated feelings and this old-fashioned thoughts of mine are ever so present and they extend to these past films too. A simple film in essence, but what a film. Nothing for granted, there is a sense of having e...( read more)verything right, compare this with the other lower tier films of its era and you can see why this is great and those are either mediocre or lower, this was done right and you can only have it right. Right meaning maybe either control of acting and emotions, not overdone. Or, it can be sense of pacing and style, never campy or anything. That's not to say camp is bad, but to be part of this, you follow rules, to be part of the Golden Age, there is a standard not of quality, but stereotype and this firs that mould perfect.

    Excelente película todo un clásico y la mejor muestra de lo que es el arribismo
  • November 11, 2008
    Damn this film was good. Bette Davis is awesome. I can't believe her and/or Anne Baxter didn't win Best Actress.
  • October 31, 2008
    The wit will knock you over
  • October 22, 2008
    I was surprised when i first watched this at how awesome it was. I mean it has a lot of things about it that are considered flaws in todays films the biggest probably being that it's in black and white. But It really stands to time. Plus Bette Davis is my favorite actress and she...( read more) delivers an amazing preformance...she should have one the oscar for that too bad they shunned her but that seems to be how the Academy works I've found.
  • September 26, 2008
    loved it no better actdess ever
  • September 13, 2008
    Those eyes sparkles, i would say the plot is timeless, so many wannabes, who will do whatever it takes to get that coveted statue cum fame, Ann Baxter is good but one cant outshine Ms Davies, she is the Ms. Margo Channing, period!
  • September 5, 2008
    One of my favourites. Bette Davis at her best. I loved the scene Eve got slapped LOL
  • August 17, 2008
    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)s of the movie were wonderful. the diologue was clever and meaningful and the characters were developed incredibly well, making this a fine film with an ending worth every minute of the tedious start to the film. a must see for big time movie fans.
  • August 11, 2008
    Excelent movie! It's really good, watch if you can.
  • August 6, 2008
    One of my favorite classics, i love the way it has an almost secretive message about karmatic situations and the finer things in life.
  • August 3, 2008
    The ambitious Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) gets close to the great and temperamental stage artist Margo Channing (Bette Davis) and her friends Karen Richards (Celeste Holm) and her husband, the play-writer Lloyd Richards (Hugh Marlowe); her boyfriend and director Bill Sampson (Ga...( read more)ry Merrill); and the producer Max Fabian (Gregory Ratoff). Everybody, except the cynical critic Addison DeWitt (George Sanders), believe that Eve is only a naive, humble and simple obsessed fan of Margo and they try to help her. However, Eve is indeed a cynical and manipulative snake that uses the lives of Margo and her friends to reach her objectives in the theater business. Co-starring Marilyn Monroe as Miss Casswell.
