Sean Axmaker

The barbed dialogue is witty and wonderful, delivered with tart insolence by Bette Davis as ... an aging Broadway lioness who watches ruthless cub Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) pull out her claws as she purrs and insinuates herself into stardom.

A penetrating anecdote on the viciousness of narcissism, cynicism, deceit, and celebrity, All About Eve is one of the most revolutionary and sharp-edged screenplays ever written.

All About Eve proved to Hollywood that Bette Davis wasn't ready to quit and it remains one of the greatest films ever made.

The writing and directing by Joseph L. Mankiewicz are superb, and the acting is Academy-Award all the way.

It is a very long piece, and it often seems long, though never when Bette Davis is on the screen; Miss Davis as the Broadway star, insolent, stormy, waspish and terrified of growing old, is magnificent.
