All About Eve
It's all about women... and their men!
Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A sophisticated, psychologically acute drama about ambition, manipulation, and the corrosive effects of envy within a tight circle of theater professionals.
From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington is determined to take the reins of power away from the great actress Margo Channing. Eve maneuvers her way into Margo's Broadway role, becomes a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend, her playwright and his wife. Only the cynical drama critic sees through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit.
