All About Eve

All About Eve

1950

Joseph L. Mankiewicz's trenchant script anchors this story about New York City theater life. Bette Davis plays an aging Broadway diva who employs a starstruck fan (Anne Baxter) as her assistant, only to learn the woman is a conniving upstart with few scruples. All About Eve won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director (Mankiewicz), Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (George Sanders).

It's all about women---and their men!
