Description

From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington (Ann Baxter) is determined to take the reins of power away from the great actress Margo Channing (Bette Davis). Eve maneuvers her way into Margo's Broadway role, becomes a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend (Gary Merrill), her playwright (Hugh Marlowe) and his wife (Celeste Holm). Only the cynical drama critic (Oscar® winner George Sanders) sees through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit. Thelma Ritter and Marilyn Monroe co-star in this acclaimed classic, which won six Academy Awards® and received the most nominations in film history.

    I’ve watched dozens of times. So hard to believe this movie is 70 years old. Plays like it could be made today. Watch it. You won’t be disappointed.

    Quite simply, this is one of the best films ever made. If you haven't seen it yet do yourself a favor and watch it. There is nothing about this film that isn't top notch, from the writing and direction to the acting. One of the top 5 films ever made.
  • Amazing movie!

    One of the sharpest, most literate scripts with probably the best assembled case ever. And to think it was filmed in only about a month. Bette Davis, George Sanders, and Celeste Holm are simply brilliant. The film loses a little steam for a bit about 3/4 of the way through - but hold on. Its just a 10 minute breather before the finale.

    Bette Davis plays herself in a way. She stands as an aging top-of-the-line actress who has three friends in Celeste Holm, her playwright, Hugh Marlowe, and her maid, Thelma Ritter. She has her director boyfriend and later real-life husband, Gary Merrill. When Anne Baxter comes backstage one night after a performance, they start an odd form of friendship: Anne serves Bette while learning her like a "floor plan". Anne tries to steal every aspect about Bette's life and there is chaos. The first time I saw this movie, I was captivated by the great acting and talent, direction by Joe Mankiewicz, and the breathtaking performance by Bette Davis. I ended up watching it like 5 times in one week. You say "dang", but it's that good! All I have to say is....BUY IT!!! This is the Best Movie, and you will never regret it!
