Next came All About Eve , the film with which Mankiewicz is most closely associated. Bette Davis played…. Although she was again written off as washed up in the early s, she revitalized her career with the Grand Guignol classic…. Absolutely not. There are so many traps that All About Eve could have fallen into: Eve could have been the victim, or the underdog we cheer for; Margo could have been a gargoyle or a caricature like Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard or, indeed, so many other films with older women. And yet it is clear that while Eve may get what she wants professionally, it is Margo who gets what really matters in the end: loyalty, love, friendship and recognition. Eve ends the film as she begins it: entirely alone, and dangling. His reincarnation of Margo played brilliantly by Gillian Anderson is not only flaccid but insulting. Her concern about ageing is not, as van Hove would have it, about what she looks like. It is about the obvious truth that men have more freedom than women as they grow older. With Eve, he tries to garner sympathy: she weeps when Margo calls her out and men reject her. This is not Eve Harrington as we know and loathe her. At the end of it all, Margo stays in control of her life, while Eve is at the behest of others, or at least her ability to manipulate others. All About Eve will continue to enthral. It has done so for almost 70 years and it will do so for many more. And it thrills us because it makes us, as women, feel seen in all our grit and glory. Retrieved October 28, Academy Film Archive.

Genres: Drama. Edit Did You Know? Trivia Bette Davis ' marriage to William Grant Sherry was in the throes of breaking up while she was making the film. Her raspy voice in the film is largely due to the fact that she burst a blood vessel in her throat from screaming at her soon-to-be-ex-husband during one of their many rows. Director Joseph L. Mankiewicz liked the croaky quality so he didn't have Davis try to work around it. Goofs At right about into the movie, when Margo and Lloyd are talking in the kitchen, right after Margo says "Cora Quotes Margo : You disapprove of me when I'm like this, don't you? Lloyd Richards : Not exactly. Sometimes, though, I wish I understood you better. Margo : When you do, let me in on it.

Addison DeWitt. Davis and Gary Merrill who plays her director and boyfriend Bill Sampson were both married to other people when they met on the set of All About Eve , but they were married to each other by the time the film came out. The marriage lasted 10 years, and Davis later said it was too much of a fairytale. We fell in love with each other in the film and in real life. We then got married in real life. But he thought he was marrying Margo and I thought I was marrying Bill. Meanwhile, Davis and Anne Baxter became fast friends—a surprise to observers, since Davis had a reputation for disliking her female costars, not to mention the fact that Baxter was playing her onscreen rival. The blonde bombshell was just breaking into the movie business when she got the small role of up-and-coming actress Miss Casswell in All About Eve , and she felt grossly intimidated by all the experienced, talented people in the cast. Nervous and insecure, Monroe needed 11 takes to get through the scene where her character talks to Margo after a failed audition. When it was finally done, Davis snapped at her, whereupon Monroe exited the set and vomited. On the flight to the set at the start of production, George Sanders who was playing snide theater critic Addison DeWitt had a middle seat. On one side of him sat Gabor, his year-old wife of one year; on the other side sat Monroe, not yet 24 and, of course, perfectly stunning. True or not, Gabor was wildly jealous, and went so far as to ask Sanders to get her a part in the movie so that she could keep an eye on the situation. He was the third of nine husbands for her; she was second of four wives for him, and he later married her sister, Magda. The credits also list Eddie Fisher in the cast, but his scenes were cut. This in my opinion encourages smoking in bed, as the public are quick to act on what they see done. I believe it is time we asked the cooperation of studios not to show actors smoking in bed. It is adult delinquency. THE U. All About Eve () - IMDb Mankiewicz Producer Darryl F. Flick Sound Roger Heman. Opening Night John Cassavetes. Sweet Smell of Success Alexander Mackendrick.

Bergner later confirmed the basis of the story in her autobiography Bewundert viel, und viel gescholten Greatly Admired and Greatly Scolded. In , Mankiewicz was considering a story about an aging actress and, upon reading "The Wisdom of Eve," felt the conniving girl would be a useful added element. He sent a memo to Darryl F.

  • The Opening Scene of AAE
    The Opening Scene of AAE Much about Eve is suggested visually in the opening scene, which takes place at a formal function in which she is about to be awarded for "distinguished achievement" in stage acting. While the master of ceremonies lauds her "humility, her devotion, her loyalty . her deep and abiding love for us", the camera cuts to silent expressions on the faces of those who, we soon discover, know her intimately – and the camera is not kind in its observation of cynicism and disgust. Throughout this opening sequence, what we see and hear is guided by the first-person voice-over narration of the improbably yet suitably named, arrogant and vicious theatre critic, Addison DeWitt. This man sees all and knows all; when Eve rises to receive her prize, it is his point-of-view camera gaze that exposes the seething emotions of her "friends" in the audience. It is DeWitt's narration that controls the way in which Eve's story is told, and the sequencing of events, for as she extends her hands to grasp the award, DeWitt is granted the power to step out of his role as a character in the story, to freeze the film frame. In so doing, the onward-thrusting movement of narrative – Eve's ever-so-humble acceptance speech one minute later in story-time – is delayed until much later in narration and screen-time, via the "unfreezing" of the frame, shortly before the film's conclusion. Artistic/Literary References: Sarah Siddons (5 July 1755 – 8 June 1831) was a Welsh-born English actress, the best-known tragedienne of the 18th century.

Narrative voice corroborates this from the outset by evoking Eve’s “snaky activities in a once-peaceful garden” (284). The story focuses on two actresses: Eve Harrington and Margola Cranston. Eve is portrayed as the carbon copy of the famous actress Margola, who resembles the “childish figure of a Botticelli angel” (285). Mankiewicz’s film, All About Eve2, was taken directly from the short story, which appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine in May 1946.

    October 4, 2016 (XXXIII:6) Joseph L. Mankiewicz: ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), 138 min All About Eve received 14 Academy Award nominations and won 6 of them: picture, director, supporting actor, sound, screenplay, costume design. It probably would have won two more if four members of the cast hasn’t been in direct competition with one another: Davis and Baxter for Best Actress and Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter for Best Supporting Actress. The story is that the studio tried to get Baxter to go for Supporting but she refused because she already had one of those and wanted to move up. Years later, the same story goes, she allowed as maybe she made a bad career move there and Bette David allowed as she was finally right about something. Directed by Joseph L.
