| Fasten your seatbelts for Bette Davis’s feisty portrayal of a celebrated stage actress whose reign over the New York theater is threatened by ingénue Anne Baxter, whose seeming innocence masks a sociopathic ambition and utter lack of ethics. Awarded six Oscars, All About Eve explores the competitiveness and shifting loyalties of theatrical personalities with a dry wit and begrudging respect for the very insincerity it depicts. George Sanders gives a memorable supporting performance as an irredeemably cynical reviewer; Marilyn Monroe dazzles in a tiny role as a young stunner just beginning to catch the eye of married directors. - TS | ||
