Backstage story revolving around aspiring actress Eve Harrington. Tattered and forlorn, Eve shows up in the dressing room of Broadway mega-star Margo Channing, telling a melancholy life story to Margo and her friends. Margo takes Eve under her wing, and it appears that Eve is a conniver that uses Margo. Starring Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, Celeste Holm, George Sanders, Gary Merril and Hugh Marlowe. Smart, sophisticated, and devastatingly funny, All About Eve is a Hollywood classic that only improves with age.(1950 – 2hr, 18min)
