Running 138 minutes
In 101 Words or Less:
Eve Harrington (Baxter), an aspiring actress and obsessed fan of stage legend Margo Channing (Davis), endears herself to Margo and her tight circle of theater friends. But when the circle is tight, it’s easier to stab someone in the back.
Told in flashback, All About Eve recounts Eve’s meteoric rise to fame as achieved through deceit, betrayal, and icy calculation, and the price everyone pays for it, including Eve herself.
All of the performances shine, but the brightest star is Oscar-winner (Supporting Actor) Sanders as the cunning theater critic. Note: look for Marilyn Monroe in one of her first big-screen appearances.
