This is one of the best scripts ever written; it's of such high quality that every actor and actress comes across like Olivier, which is not to deny the excellence of their performances in their own right, just that every line from their mouths is pretty much absolutely perfect. It may be the best acting I've ever seen by an entire cast. The movie is unremarkable in some of its other aspects, and it isn't the most rewatchable movie, but you should definitely see it once.

Bullshit, it's all about Margo. Eve is great too, of course, but I actually thought some parts of her character arc were among the less successful parts of the movie. Didn't her change from humble servant to conniving bitch seem a bit abrupt? Her lying about her background early on shows that she had that in her all along, but she brought it all out without much warning. Her rise to fame after a single major performance seemed a bit abrupt too. I won't let any of that ruin the movie though.

One of the best dialogue films of all time. Yes it's about an aging actress, but she does so with style even if it is at an oblique angle, and she doesn't resort to denial. Her love relationship is not really believable, but the dialogue between them makes up for it. George Sanders is absolutely perfect with his glib zingers and droll observations, and Marilyn Monroe solidified the dumb blond archetype with this role. It is indeed a bumpy, enjoyable (ride). 6 Oscars including Best Picture.

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.

Gosh, what can be said about this that hasn't already? When a great cast collides with an excellent script it doesn't matter how bland or uninspiring Mankiewicz's directorial style is; With Dialogue this sharp and witty, and with characters this charismatic, complex, and multi-dimensional, I could've watched these characters intrique, blackmail and backstab each other for another 2 hours.

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!

One of the best ensemble cast I've seen - Holm, Davis, & Sanders are the stand-outs but there's not a part even slightly miscast. Rarely disappoints and has a wild pace for a movie of its length. The turn for Eve is played out much better then expected, and made the first part more acceptable in retrospect. [lmao at that rear projection shot FFD pointed out]

Overrated. Don't get me wrong, it's decent; the acting, the story, the dialogue, all are good although I do disagree that the script is phenomenal, it never reaches the heights of Billy Wilder or Tennessee Williams, just merely rises above average. The direction is very boring though and keeps the story from being very compelling.

Can a script be TOO perfect? True, these characters are aristocratic theater socialites, but the dialog from every single character is just too consistently clever and intelligent. But that's not really a major gripe, just more of an observation. The script truly is good, and the performances to back it up are great as well. Bette Davis of course steals the show as the aging actress. She comes across so genuine. Despite my small nitpick, this is a very good movie.

Great mix of authentic drama and campy melodrama with a noir feeling to it and a sardonic touch. Great writing. Great acting. I don't buy all the homosexual subtext people try to force onto the movie. It's seriously far-fetched and for every "clue" there is a much better explanation anyone's common sense should pick up on. If one paid attention and wasn't looking for such things in the first place. This movie isn't about homosexuality. It's about men and women and the entertainment business.

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.

All About Eve with intriguing plot, well balanced story pace, smart dialogues and terrific performance from the whole cast team, looks more like a theatrical play, sometimes even too much, which you can watch without paying for the theater ticket. Perfect example of the movie where actors' performance stands on the first place. And Eve, what a nasty evil in flash. 18th line in AFI's villains list - 100% deserved.

i was expecting a light-hearted comedy and instead got a rather sinister drama about the filthiest inner workings of fame, wealth and unbridled ambition. it was a bit simplistic at times, but still rather dark. the script was structurally air-tight. some of tropes felt outdated, but i didn't mind given the release date. my biggest concern was with the naivete of the celebrities at allowing strange fans into their lives. maybe that was the norm then, but watching it in 2014 felt implausible.

DAMN it really is that good. Deserves every ounce of praise it has received, especially for the dialogue. I wasn’t at all expecting the writing to be so savage and fierce, but it is also a surprisingly solid account of true friendship and loyalty. The movie’s takes on the industry’s hierarchy is still relevant decades later, and its treatment of aging women, but I was especially in love with Margo and her arc. Crazy that Eve isn’t even the best character. Still a fantastic movie.

My feelings towards this movie are complex. Much of the time, I'm not sure whether it criticizes unfair gender standards or enforces them. Are we to pity Eve, or simply assume that whatever emptiness she feels in the end is her own fault? It's enormously well-acted, that's for sure, and well-directed (check out the subtle but intense glances from Eve, here and there). Bette Davis gets a lot of good lines, and makes a lot of good points - but then she gets married, and disappears. I don't know.

Ersatz art of a very high grade, and one of the most enjoyable movies ever made... The scriptwriterdirector Joseph L. Mankiewicz's bad taste, exhibited with verve, is more fun than careful, mousy, dehydrated good taste. His nonsense about "theatre" is saved by one performance that is the real thing: Bette Davis is at her most instinctive and assured.

First and foremost, this is an incredibly well-written movie. Not every writer has the ability to make every scene of a movie interesting and connected. Even more, there are a lot of memorable lines. Showing the ending in the first scene -well, part of the ending- helps build and increase the tension in every scene. Bette Davis gives an amazing theatrical performance as a star of the theatre.

Good, with quite a few very well placed zingers, but still overpraised. Additionally, Bette Davis is so good here that the film loses something everytime she's not on screen. Doesn't help that Anne Baxter never makes a good argument as to why everyone would be so fascinated by a character as vapid as Eve, who only becomes interesting once her mask comes off.

Seems to me like All About Eve could almost serve as a prequel to Sunset Blvd with Margo Channing becoming Norma Desmond between pictures. Mostly excellent but has one moment that I seriously don't like, which is when Thelma Ritter's character spells out the main theme and the entire plot for the audience near the beginning. Snip that moment out and my score rises 5 or 10 points

A bit long for its own good IMO, but this film is worth watching for Bette Davis and Anne Baxter. There's some good supporting performances too. I liked the ending also.

Smart, sophisticated, and devastatingly funny, All About Eve is a Hollywood classic that only improves with age.

Surprisingly very well written... I don't really "get" Bette Davis, but I do like Anne Baxter and George Sanders quite a bit in this film.

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.

The strong characters and the perfect acting are enough to see this film. The witty script is worth all the more.

Såg om filmen på stor utomhusskärm och oj så den lyfter!! Det är en intelligent om än cynisk historia om manipulation och makt. Den här gången utspelar den sig i teatervärlden, men vi har många gånger sett motsvarande i maffa- eller kungamakarkontext. Det som gör den här filmen bättre än de flesta är replikernas bett (teatern är förstås en bra scen för sarkasm) och Bette Davis som dominerar varenda scen hon är med i.

Impressively well structured drama with sophisticated but sharp dialogue and superb performances. -- Outstanding in any regard.

With a great script, a truly fantastic performance by Bette Davis and an excellent supporting cast (including George Sanders, Thelma Ritter, Celeste Holm and Gregory Ratoff), "All About Eve" is a triumphantly absorbing watch.

It has no ulterior motive beyond saying that the theater is a fiercely competitive place, and quite wonderful. The meanings for Sunset Blvd. are vastly more alarming. They even suggest that you might not want to be a great actress. All About Eve can see no other goal in sight as bright or commanding. This is very much the theater before Kazan and the Actors Studio, but there was a theater then - and may be again. All About Eve is modest, self-contained, and brilliant.

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.
