All About Eve***
US 1950. Twentieth Century Fox. 138m. bw
An admirer of Broadway star Margo Channing turns out to also be a scheming vixen who wants to jump into her shoes.
The story is artificial, but this is otherwise a brilliantly acerbic backstage melodrama (with next to no on-stage footage) with an A-rate cast who don't take any prisoners. Probably the one film that most accurately captured the plight of older actresses who are deemed to be past it.
Written and Directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
Producer: Darryl F. Zanuck.
Starring: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, Celeste Holm, George Sanders, Thelma Ritter, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe, Gregory Ratoff, Marilyn Monroe, Barbara Bates.
Photography: Milton Krasner.
Music: Alfred Newman.
