Review - All About Eve (1950)
Delorted - wrote on 12/04/07
Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) was a young girl with a passion for theater. She idolizes actress Margo Channing (Bette Davis) and tries to become her in the Best Picture winning film, "All About Eve."
In the first half of this film, all I could think was, "Great, another one of these." However, by the end of the film I was astonished by the writing and how well it worked itself together. While the beginning does seem a bit unworthy of Best Picture, it picks up and makes everything work. I have a feeling if I were to watch it again (as I most likely will one day), I would enjoy it a lot more.
The only problem I still have with the film is that it was made in 1950, but it looks as if it were made in 1940. It's not really a problem though, and it's obvious that the budget was pretty low, so I forgive them.
"All About Eve" is a very intriguing film that's fun to watch and even more fun to analyze. So no matter which way you watch film, you're sure to enjoy it.
