    As Bette Davis so famously says in this film, “Fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!” And that observation very aptly sums up the essence of this backstage Broadway story, etched with acid wit. With an outstanding cast (Davis, Anne Baxter, Celeste Holm, the eminently acid-tongued George Sanders, and even a young Marilyn Monroe) and Oscar-winning writing and direction by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, this film was a shoo-in for the Best Picture of 1950. (Sanders also won for his seminal role of Addison DeWitt, the poisonously witty drama critic.) As the Cinebook Movie Guide put it, “All About Eve is the consummate backstage story, a film the holds a magnifying glass up to theatrical environs and exposes all the egos, tempers, conspiracies and backstage back-biting that make up the world of make-believe on Broadway.” A bumpy, and very witty, night indeed! (Bill Roth)

    Joseph Mankiewicz, US, 1950, NR, 138m
