All About Eve is a great movie that is led by women. As strange as that may sound, and also as sexist as that may sound, there really aren't a lot of amazing movies that don't have some male lead to them. This is one heck of a drama; intense, brutal, and honest. It's one of the best acted films I've ever seen.

It’s about fame, narcissism and betrayal. Indeed, it says a lot about the sometimes backstabbing world of show business. Both Bette Davis and Anne Baxter did fantastic jobs as their respective characters. It had a great ending too.

Eve Harrington scares me when she stops acting, which is an added complement to Anne Baxter's performance. That's complemented by Bette Davis' outstanding performance and the well written dialog. It has some issues, and it almost feels like it was more designed for the stage than for film. But it's still an overall great movie.

The dialogues are ingenious, Bette Davis is perfect and Marilyn is incredibly beautiful.

Smart, with cracking dialogue and some terrific acting. I still don't like Eve's transition itself, though.

Bette Davis classic.

Amazing performances from Bette Davis and Anne Baxter. The film has a plot difficult, mainly by their complex and intelligent dialogues.

Classic emotion's beutifuly depicted.

this is a movie about the cruel world of theatre and the thirst of fame. the movie has no additional scenes, all the sequences are in the right place. the script was written with insight to the theme. but this is the actors that made it extraordinary real.

Surprised at how disturbing this was.

Watch enough modern films and it's easy to forget how wonderfully witty the scripts could be in this period of moviemaking. The dialogue crackles off the pages and the actors deliver it with the right amount of flair and glee. The story as a whole didn't really affect me that much, the running time seems a tad too long and Eve's revelations were a bit hard to swallow. Still, it's a stylish look at fame and the devious ways in which some people try to achieve it.

Close to if not the single greatest script of all time. Intensely dramatic and extremely funny when it wants to be with great performances all around - especially from Bette Davis whose turn as an aging star is probably the best of her career. Plus, any film that gives George Sanders significant screen time automatically goes up by about 10 points. Absolutely amazing movie.

Excellent. A biting script, a remarkable acting ensemble, enorumously entertaining story lines, and an incredible amount of emotion explode in a film that has resonated throughout the ages

To be sure, this movie was a 'comeback' vehicle of sorts for Davis, and it served her well. The writing was excellent, the performances were were even better. Who knew Anne Baxter could be such a bitch? Who knew Bette Davis could be so cool? Who knew Marilyn Monroe would become...well...MARILYN MONROE from her bit part in this movie? I guess my only complaint is that I would've liked to see a bit more bite from Davis' character when Eve's motives were revealed, but fuck it. Watch this flick!

Mankiewicz accepts all the Broadway Backstage stereotypes and hones them into a like-new sharpness, a little dulled again before movie's end. Davis is the insecure star and Baxter the ambitious ingénue climbing up her back. Merrill, Davis's real-life husband, plays her husband, and Sanders and Monroe pop up now and then as, respectively, the acerbic critic Addison De Wit and a budding actress.

Bette Davis is so great in this film. Great script as well.

I gotta say, I don't see what the big deal is. It's solid melodrama, well-written and with fine acting, but it's not earth-shattering or anything. Too many big twists seem to happen at the drop of a hat.

The cynicism of this movie is something I found very appealing. I was very satisfied with what became of the seemingly innocent, idealistic Eve.
