    Showered with Oscars, this wonderfully bitchy (and witty) comedy written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz concerns an aging theater star (Bette Davis) whose life is being supplanted by a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing ingenue (Anne Baxter) whom she helped. This is a film for a viewer to take in like a box of chocolates, packed with scene-for-scene delights that make the entire story even better than it really is. The film also gives deviously talented actors such as George Sanders and Thelma Ritter a chance to speak dazzling lines; Davis bites into her role and never lets go. A classic from Mankiewicz, a legendary screenwriter and the brilliant director of A Letter to Three Wives, The Barefoot Contessa, and Sleuth. --Tom Keogh

    5 out of 5 stars Wheel of Fortune!   February 28, 2010
    F. S. L'hoir (Irvine, CA)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    At the risk of being de trop (or "de tropp", as Celeste Holm's character, Karen, pronounces the French expression), I am going to add my two-centimes-worth, and join the chorus of praise for this magnificent specimen of The Golden Age of Hollywood, in which Fortune favoured Twentieth-Century Fox in that they did NOT cast Claudette Colbert as Margo Channing, Jose Ferrer as Addison DeWitt, Zsa Zsa Gabor as the comely Miss Caswell, and Ronald Reagan as Bill Sampson. And while the casting of the last might have changed the history of the world for better or worse, it would have done absolutely nothing for "All About Eve."

    Instead sheer luck caused Joseph Mankewiecz to gather a "perfect storm" of a cast for this "bumpy ride" in his witty scenario of an aging temperamental Broadway Star and those who are forced to deal with her tantrums, because of the constraints of a putting on a theatrical production: Bette Davis as Margo (arguably her best role); George Sanders as Addison; Gary Merril as Bill, and a stunning young Marilyn Monroe as Miss Caswell. In addition to Celeste Holm, the cast also includes Hugh Marlow as her playwright husband; Thelma Ritter as Margo's sassy stage dresser; Gregory Ratoff as Fabian, the long-suffering producer; and finally, Anne Baxter as the devious Eve. In assembling and directing this stellar cast so brilliantly, Mankewiecz has created cinematic magic. Sanders and Holm deservedly won Oscars for their portrayals; Davis, undeservedly, did not.

    I first saw this film as a kid, and while I thought at the time that Baxter was so manipulative that everyone would see through her instantly, I now understand Mankewiecz's point: because of ego, preoccupation with their own affairs, or romantic wishful thinking, Margo and her friends see and hear in Eve exactly what they want to see and hear. Only the unscrupulous Addison recognizes Eve from the beginning for the schemer she is. My favorite character is George Sanders as the stage critic, Addison. With his honey-blended-with-cyanide tones, he represents the serpent in Eve's theatrical Garden of Eden.

    Because of its brilliant script, the film is not dated. Although the subliminal message of the title and the portrayals of women as scheming sources of chaos, which were advertised in 1951 [ e.g." 'All About Eve' is all about men--and Women!"], may not be greeted warmly by twenty-first century women, nevertheless, the scintillating wit of Mankiewicz's script mitigates any such lingering doubts, as does the theatrical context (which has portrayed women in such a negative light for over two millennia). It's only a movie about theatre, and an outstanding one at that.

    On cold winter nights, when you want to leave behind the slush of the economy, politics, and all that snow, "All About Eve" will leave you laughing at dialogue that remains razor-sharp.

    Anyone who has not seen this movie is missing one of Hollywood's greatest movies ever produced. It was nominated for 11 Oscars, and deserved every one of them. Bette Davis has never been better as Margo Channing, the shimmering stage actress who's candle is just beginning to dim, as she reaches the age of 40. The supporting cast are all perfectly "cast".

    George Sanders as the slimy theater critic Addison DeWitt.
    Gary Merrill as the director of Margo's plays; and also her boyfriend.
    Hugh Marlowe as the playwright for most of Margo's greatest performances.
    Celeste Holm as Marlowe's wife and Margo's best friend.
    Thelma Ritter as Margo's housemaid and personal assistant
    Marilyn Monroe as a wannabe actress
    And Ann Blyth as the inibitable Eve Harrington.

    Nothing beats this script for wit, sarcasm and dry humor. I own a copy but still watch it every time its on television.

    I could watch it once a week, it's that good.

    Considered by some to be one of the most literate movies ever made. It certainly contains some of the best acting ever done on film. Everyone does a wonderful job - especially Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, & George Sanders. Marilyn Monroe has a small part & is lovely in it. If you want to see a great vintage classic film with wonderful acting pyrotechnics get this one. The bonus material always gives added incite. A must have.
