All About Eve

Great movie. Could have been shorter though...

Eve, a young actress, manipulates her way into the life of Broadway star Margo, leading to a battle of wits and ambition.

What can I add to what has already been said about this film? Bette Davis and classic Hollywood rarely were better. Flawless.

I wish I had not read any synopsis. They unfortunately give away the gist of the main relationship. It rendered me confused because Anne Baxter's Eve was so brilliantly innocent at the start. I kept wondering whatever could be wrong about her. For the first half of the movie, I kept thinking that it was Margo herself projecting her own insecurities towards the younger, more employable actress. Because, if it weren't for her friends in the theater keeping her employed, Margo would have more trouble finding roles. But then, slowly cracks begint to appear in Eve's story. And yet, the way it is presented to the audience, I kept not seeing it. Only saw that talented persona she had created herself. Eve is quick with her answers, steering the conversation so that the result will ever be in her favor. Only when she has to drop the mask, to show how vicious she can be to reach her goals, do we know what she has been hiding. Wonderful! Indredible dialogue, witty and biting, combined with excellent acting. (Especially Bette Davis' look of contempt is so mesemerizing to look at.). An excellent look at the woes of the life in theater and how far smart manipulation can get you.

The early vulnerability of Davis was cool to see maybe - but ultimately a depressing unfortunate ordeal that's being conveyed here, oh and can't compare to my life in any way - privacy invading compliments of the forces of evil!

Great movie with interesting plot. Several attempts to make it better. Impossible to beat.

I’ve seen a lot of great films recently, and this is no different. The story was mesmerizing almost, it’s just something you have to watch as soon as possible. 4.5/5 stars.

All About Eve is such a great movie with a stellar cast. Bette Davis is my favorite actress and this is one of her finest films.

Betty Davis is the only reason I could watch this stupid movie

Great acting and a great script. Bette Davis at her bitchy best. Anne Baxter and Celeste Holm are fantastic. Even Marilyn Monroe gives a look at what is to come.
