Showered with Oscars, this wonderfully bitchy (and witty) comedy written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz concerns an aging theater star (Bette Davis) whose life is being supplanted by a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing ingenue (Anne Baxter) whom she helped. This is a film for a viewer to take in like a box of chocolates, packed with scene-for-scene delights that make the entire story even better than it really is. The film also gives deviously talented actors such as George Sanders and Thelma Ritter a chance to speak dazzling lines; Davis bites into her role and never lets go. A classic from Mankiewicz, a legendary screenwriter and the brilliant director of <i>A Letter to Three Wives</i>, <i>The Barefoot Contessa</i>, and <i>Sleuth</i>. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
Viewer Reviews With All AboutEve, Hollywood starts a period of Movies who are excellent in Story and acting. A well known actress as Bette Davis return on screen with a performance long remebered. Ann Baxter as a young star, gives a strong performance of a ruthless actrice on her way to the top. George Sanders as an cynical and critical person who!s acting is just perscibes the Hollywood machine of ruthless careermaking.
