All About Eve


An outstanding drama about a young woman's relentless quest for success. Anne Baxter portrays Eve Harrington in a stunning performance. A starstuck 'kid' who's the picture of innocent unpretention, she haunts the theater where her idol, Margo Channing (Bette Davis), is appearing. When they finally meet, Eve's naivete, adoration and passion for the stage quickly endear her to Margo, earning her a place in the star's inner circle. But Eve has a hidden agenda. Totally ruthless, she manipulates those around her as she seeks bigger and better things. Also stars George Sanders, Celeste Holms, Gary Merrill and Marilyn Monroe. Also written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz

Selected for the Library of Congress National Film Registry of American Film.
