All About Eve (1950)
Country: US
Technical: bw 138m
Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Cast: Bette Davis, George Sanders, Anne Baxter, Celeste Holm
Synopsis:
An aspiring actress approaches a Broadway legend as an avid fan, insinuates herself into her circle of friends and ultimately replaces her as the toast of the theatrical scene.
Review:
Bitter, mordant, at times very funny morality tale, as close as Hollywood probably came to really sophisticated entertainment worthy of Oscar Wilde. It gave Davis her last great role before character parts took over, and so was doubly poignant.
