Get Ready To Dish On ALL ABOUT EVE - Our Classic Hollywood Movie Review!

In this episode on ALL ABOUT EVE, which is a part of my series, CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD Movie Reviews, we review ALL ABOUT EVE, which was directed and written by Joe Mankiewicz! The movie starred Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, Celeste Holm, George Sanders, Marilyn Monroe, Gary Merrill, Thelma Ritter, and Hugh Marlowe.
My guest is Writer Sydney Stern, who wrote THE BROTHERS MANKIEWICZ: Hope Heartbreak And Hollywood Classics, which is a biography on the lives of Joe and Herman Mankiewicz
I highly recommend the book to film buffs, Classic Hollywood fans, and Mankiewicz fans in general! Both of these contributed to the Classic Hollywood period and the motion picture art form in general!

Great discussion, Robert! I have a question about one of the lines in All About Eve that's always puzzled me. Maybe you or your guest can shed some light on it. In the scene where Margo shows up late for Miss Caswell's audition, Margo is getting more and more agitated and paranoid. At one point she says: "I'm... accused of reading your silly dialogue as if it were the Holy Gospel!" The line doesn't make sense. Doesn't it seem like Margo should have inserted the word "incorrectly" after the word "dialogue"? I've always wondered if Bette Davis made a mistake, and it was left in. Obviously, my life is empty and meaningless, which is why I worry about stuff like this.

Thanks for watching! Not meaningless at all. Investing in art is of high value. Let me look at that part and get back to you.

lloyd, to me, IS the only weak aspect of the film. to me, it’s a very wooden performance, not up to standard with the rest of the cast.

[@RobertBellissimoAtTheMovies]

I agree.

Great to see this overview of (for me) a Top Ten all-timer. I remember first seeing "Eve" in a theater, and kicking the back of the seat in front of me once Eve got really nasty and started threatening Karen. Don't know how many times I've seen it since, and every time I still want Karen to tell Eve off, and dare her to go through with her threat.
