Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy night in Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s caustically witty classic of backstage drama. When an aging Broadway star (Bette Davis, never better) welcomes adoring fan Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) into her dressing room, she’ll soon discover her admirer will use anyone in her quest for stardom. All About Eve remains one of Hollywood’s all-time great & most-celebrated films, earning a record 14 Academy Award nominations, including two Best Actress & two Best Supporting Actress noms, and won 6, including Best Picture, while writer-director Mankiewicz, fresh off A Letter to Three Wives in 1949, scored Best Director and Best Screenplay wins in back-to-back years.
