ALL ABOUT EVE
Dir/Scr. Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1950, USA, 138 min.
A scintillating showbiz yarn laced with bitchiness and backstabbing, Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s multi-Oscar-winning masterpiece pits middle-aged Broadway megastar Margo Channing (glorious Bette David in her greatest role) against smooth-talking, two-faced wannabe Eve Harrington (a perfectly evil Anne Baxter). A timid, mousey fan who ingratiates her way into Margo’s inner circle, ambitious Eve wastes no time stealing Margo’s spotlight and her man. Margo takes nothing lying down, and her arsenal of immortal lines is unmatched – not to mention costuming and makeup that cemented her place as a drag icon. A superb supporting cast (including Celeste Holm, George Sanders, Marilyn Monroe, Thelma Ritter) brings New York’s theater set to life with razor-sharp precision and sophisticated and cynical dialogue.
