Bette Davis is most certainly at the top of her game playing the crowd favourite Margo Channing,...February 25, 2014
Joseph Mankiewicz was Hollywood's midcentury master of comic drama, and All About Eve, from 1950, was one of his signal achievements.January 23, 2013
What makes the picture seem so good (what makes it eminently worth seeing) is the satirical touches in its detail and the performance of Bette Davis.February 22, 2015
All About Eve is not only a brilliant and clever portrait of an actress, it is a downright funny film, from its opening scene to the final fadeout.February 18, 2009
It crackles with smart, smarting dialogue.February 22, 2015
As if Bette Davis wasn't enough, the supporting cast is also fantastically emotive.February 25, 2014
A classic movie, whose qualities remind us that there once was a Hollywood where such sophisticated treats could be made.February 22, 2015
Joseph L. Mankiewicz' All About Eve is a rich, impeccably written, gunshot sharp black comedy about an aging actress, the go-getter who seeks to supplant her, and the heaping pile of carefully fostered artisanal bitchiness that they construct.March 01, 2015
One of the greatest films of post-WWII Hollywood.November 05, 2013
All About Eve is deliciously fun to watch with characters playing versions of themselves (most noticeably Bette Davis) and being quite introspective for its day.February 22, 2015
Joseph L Mankiewicz's film dissects the narcissism and hypocrisy of the spotlight as sharply as [Billy Wilder's Sunset Blvd], but pays equal attention to the challenges of enacting womanhood.January 30, 2008
The Zanuck production investiture is plush in every department.
