ALL ABOUT EVE
"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" zings Bette Davis, in her most iconic role, first lady of the theater Margo Channing. But it's Margo who gets bumped off, by her duplicitous protégée, the ambitious Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter), a young starlet who models herself on Davis only to supplant her in a win-at-all-costs rise to stardom. George Sanders is the sardonic theater critic who's seen it all; Marilyn Monroe shines in a small but head-turning role as his on-the-make date. Fourteen Oscar® nominations (a record not matched until TITANIC, 47 years later) and six wins, including Best Picture, Director and Screenplay for Joseph L. Mankiewicz. DIR/SCR Joseph L. Mankiewicz; PROD Darryl F. Zanuck. U.S., 1950, b&w, 138 min, DCP. NOT RATED
