All About Eve

Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz

1950 / 130min / 35mm

A frothy-yet-venomous comedy of contested succession, bitchy put-downs, and catty misbehavior, Mankiewicz’s signature work stars Bette Davis as aging Broadway diva Margo Channing; Anne Baxter as the wanton, willful young up-and-comer Eve Harrington, aspiring to take whatever Margo has, both on-stage and in the boudoir; and George Sanders as Addison DeWitt, the acerbic theater critic who’s only too happy to stoke the flames of their rivalry. Recipient of a record-setting 14 Academy Award nominations, including four Actress nods, for Baxter and Davis as well as supporting players Thelma Ritter and Celeste Holm.

Please note that the screening on Tuesday, February 25th will be on DCP.
