Review of All About Eve (1950) by Chris B — 10 Jan 2012

One of the most witty, stylish and funny films that gets better and better as the years go on and remains timeless! "All About Eve" is chalked to the brim with stunning performances and smartly written characters that are so essential to produce the quality that this film represents.

While there isn't much physical threat, it's the women and their harsh dialogue that drives the film and creates such a moody and brilliant atmosphere. Bette Davis is stunning as the older Broadway star who seems to have it all but ultimately isn't happy with her life.

Anne Baxter plays Eve Harrington who at first seems like an innocent and aspiring fan of Margo (Bette Davis) but as the film rolls on she reveals the fame hungry and devious monster she is. Filled with memorable and famous quotes, "All About Eve" is one that really does get better with age and will leave it's viewers happy to have seen it!
