Don't let the anger induced negativity from her daughter's (B.D. Hyman) book be a majority factor in your opinion of Bette Davis. B.D. claims that her mother lived in a fantasy world of her own design, well thats exactly what she herself has done with her own take on Christianity and fear tactics of the end time. Mrs. Hyman claims to talk to God on a regular basis and says she knows so much that if she were to tell a person whom isnt as educated in the Word like her they would think she is crazy...she certainly isn't off to a good start there. She also pronounces God has called her to teach God's starving lambs, I seem to remember Jesus saying in Matthew 23:8-10 "But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren...And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ." Sure thats God your talking to there B.D.? Did Jesus tell you to write a book of fiction, defacing mother with anger and resentment to get a quick lump sum of money b/c she was going to die soon and neither you nor your husband wanted to get a real job and actually work for money?

I agree with all the positive comments about this movie. The thing I like best is the timeless subject matter. You know people still act like this today. It would do well for those with huge egos like Margot to look over their shoulder every now and then to see who is trying to creep up and take their place.

I hate this movie!! I don't know why it has such a great rep, can't compare to Sunset Blvd. and definately not nearly as a great a Bette Davis performance as her W.B. films.

Brilliantly written and directed by Joseph Mankiewicz, All About Eve is one of the most intelligent movies ever. It hardly matters that most people probably won't get all the theatrical allusions; I certainly didn't. Read 'All About All About Eve' to really get behind the script. All the performances were superb. In fact, none of the performers were ever as good again, except for Marilyn Monroe, who played a small but delicious part. I particularly liked George Sanders as the supremely cynical Addison De Witt, who was pulling everybody's strings. He deserved his Oscar. It was unfortunate that Bette Davis did not receive the Oscar, but between Anne Baxter, as Eve, and the equally brilliant Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard, the vote split and it went to Billie Holliday (who?). The only drawback in this movie is the last scene in Eve's rooms. It seemed tacked-on like an afterthought, and was not in keeping with the tone of the rest of the movie.

Fasten your seatbelts for a great movie! The dialogue is crisp, the acting superb. My favorite Bette Davis movie, and I have read that Bette Davis was justly proud of her achievement in this film.

Pretty good movie with a great screenplay and great performance from Bette Davis and George Sanders. There is one part for each character that makes me wanna just scream Oh what a B*tch!

Considered by me and critcs alike as one of the best movies ever made. Bette Davis is simply brilliant. Supporting actors and actresses superb. There's never going to be another film like it. Truely a classic in every sense of the word!

A very good movie. Bette DAvis plays a famous stage actress Margo Channing. Eve is a young actress want to be who claims to be a huge fan of Margo Channing she even charms her way into Margo Channings life by moving in with her as an assistant. Time goes by and we see that Eve is Not the sweet doting fan she pretends to be. It turns out that Eve wants to be an actress and we see she will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Bette Davis is great as the getting older Margo{ if you can call 40 old!}who trusted Eve and was later betrayed by her. Marilyn Monroe has a small role in the movie too. All the actors are good in their roles. A Little too long but a very good movie.

A magnificent movie on every level. A crackling script, superb acting, just unrivaled and unparalled. I recommend the book, "All about All About Eve."

Incredibly witty with amazing performance by Bette Davis.

The greatest screenplay ever!

Bette Davis' finest role. A must see film for fans of drama with strong female characters. Watch for a young Marily Monroe in a small part.

Bette Davis is the queen. The best actress ever.
