Next came All About Eve , the film with which Mankiewicz is most closely associated. 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 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, .

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.

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.

Edit Cast Cast overview, first billed only: Bette Davis Margo Anne Baxter Eve George Sanders Addison DeWitt Celeste Holm Karen Gary Merrill Bill Simpson Hugh Marlowe Lloyd Richards Gregory Ratoff Max Fabian Barbara Bates Referring to her only as "the terrible girl," Bergner related the events to Orr, who used it as the basis for her short story " The Wisdom of Eve " In the story, Orr gives the girl a more ruthless character and allows her to succeed in stealing the older actress' career. 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. Zanuck saying it "fits in with an original idea [of mine] and can be combined. Superb starring role for . He changed the main character's name from Margola Cranston to Margo Channing and retained several of Orr's characters — Eve Harrington, Lloyd and Karen Richards, and Miss Casswell — while removing Margo Channing's husband completely and replacing him with a new character, Bill Sampson. The intention was to depict Channing in a new relationship and allow Eve Harrington to threaten both Channing's professional and personal lives. Zanuck was enthusiastic and provided numerous suggestions for improving the screenplay. In some sections, he felt Mankiewicz's writing lacked subtlety or provided excessive detail. He suggested diluting Birdie Coonan's jealousy of Eve so the audience would not recognize Eve as a villain until much later in the story. Zanuck reduced the screenplay by about 50 pages and chose the title All About Eve from the opening scenes in which Addison DeWitt says he will soon tell "more of Eve All about Eve, in fact. Among the actresses originally considered to play Margo Channing were Mankiewicz's original inspiration, Susan Hayward , who was rejected by Zanuck as "too young," , dismissed as "too German," and , who was ruled out of contention when her lawyer insisted that Lawrence not have to drink or smoke in the film, and that the script would be rewritten to allow her to sing a torch song. Eventually, the role went to , but she withdrew after an injury shortly before filming began. Mankiewicz briefly considered for the aging diva role, before giving it to Bette Davis. Channing had originally been conceived as genteel and knowingly humorous, but with the casting of Davis, Mankiewicz revised the character to be more abrasive. Mankiewicz praised Davis both for her professionalism and for the caliber of her performance. She got the role of Eve Harrington after the first choice, , became pregnant. Crain was at the height of her popularity and had established a career playing likable heroines; Zanuck believed she lacked the "bitch virtuosity" required by the part and that audiences would not accept her as a deceitful character. actively sought the role of Phoebe without realizing the producers were considering her, along with , for Miss Casswell. As Coonan was the only one immediately suspicious of Eve Harrington, he was confident Ritter would contribute a shrewd characterization casting doubt on Eve and providing a counterpoint to the more "theatrical" personalities of the other characters. All About Eve received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics upon its release on October 13, , at a New York City premiere. The film's competitor, Sunset Boulevard , released the same year, drew similar praise, and the two were often favorably compared. Film critic of loved the film, stating that "a fine Darryl Zanuck production, excellent music and an air of ultra-class complete this superior satire. The site's critics consensus reads: "Smart, sophisticated, and devastatingly funny, All About Eve is a Hollywood classic that only improves with age. Critics and academics have delineated various themes in the film. Rebecca Flint Marx, in her Allmovie review, notes the antagonism that existed between Broadway and Hollywood at the time, stating that the "script summoned into existence a whole array of painfully recognizable theatre types, from the aging, egomaniacal grand dame to the outwardly docile, inwardly scheming ingenue to the powerful critic who reeks of malignant charm. , in his review in The Great Movies , says Eve Harrington is "a universal type," and focuses on the aging actress plot line, comparing the film to Sunset Boulevard. She reasons that Margo has three options: "To continue to work, she can perform the role of a young woman, one she no longer seems that interested in. She can take up the position of the angry bitch, the drama queen who holds court the deliberate that finds in this film. Or she can accept her culture's gendered discourse of aging which figures her as in her moment of fading. Margo ultimately chooses the latter option, accepting her position as one of loss. Professor Robert J. Corber, who has studied within the cultural context of the in the United States, posits that the foundational theme in All About Eve is that the defense of the norms of heterosexuality , specifically in terms of patriarchal marriage, must be upheld in the face of challenges from female agency and homosexuality. Even film reviewer Kenneth Geist, despite being critical of the emphasis that Sam Staggs' book All About All About Eve places on the film's homosexual elements, nonetheless acknowledged that Eve's lesbianism seemed apparent; specifically, Geist states that "manifestations of Eve's lesbianism are only twice briefly discernible. Homosexuality was often linked to during the Cold War 's Lavender Scare and critics have written about film's subtle, yet central, Cold War narrative. The fair amount of subtlety employed in All About Eve is seen as primarily being due to Production Code restrictions on the depiction of homosexuals in the media during this time. Another important theme of the film, in terms of war politics and sexuality, involves the post- World War II pressure placed upon women to resume "traditional" female roles. This is illustrated in the contrast between Margo's mockery of Karen Richards for being a "happy little housewife" and her lengthy and inspired monologue, as a reformed woman later, about the virtuousness of marriage, including how a woman is not truly a woman without having a man beside her. This submissive and effeminate Margo is contrasted with the theatricality, combativeness, and egotism of the earlier career woman Margo, and the film's two homosexual characters. Margo quips that Eve should place her award "where her heart should be," and Eve is shown bereft at the end of the film. At dinner, the two married couples see Eve and Addison in a similarly negative light, with Margo wondering aloud what schemes Eve was constructing in her "feverish little brain. The pressure to acquiesce agency and more highly value patriarchy, following the return of men from the war, after having been shown propaganda promoting agency such as Rosie the Riveter and after having occupied traditionally male roles such as bomb-building factory worker, was deemed "the problem that has no name" by well-known feminist . Despite what critics such as Corber have described as the homophobia pervasive in the movie, [25] All About Eve has long been a favored film among gay audiences, likely due to its campy overtones in part due to the casting of Davis and its general sophistication. Davis, who long had a strong gay fan base, expressed support for gay men in her interview with The Advocate. In , All About Eve was selected for preservation in the United States by the as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. The film has been selected by the for many of their Years lists. The Writers Guild of America has ranked the film's screenplay as the fifth greatest ever written. The film opens with the image of a fictitious award trophy, described by DeWitt as the "highest honor our theater knows: the Award for Distinguished Achievement. In , a small group of distinguished Chicago theater-goers began to give an award with that name , which was sculpted to look like the one used in the film. It has been given annually, with past honorees including Bette Davis and Celeste Holm. Bankhead and many contemporary critics felt that the characterization of Margo Channing was patterned on her, a long-rumored charge denied by both Mankiewicz and Davis, [40] but attested by costume designer Edith Head. Bankhead and Davis were considered to be somewhat similar in style. It ran for four previews and performances at the Palace Theatre on Broadway. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

None of them won , but the movie did take home six trophies that night, including Best Picture. Big surprise, a story about backstabbing in Hollywood actually happened. , a European stage and screen actress, hired a young fan as an assistant in the early s, only to have the girl try to steal her career. Orr got no onscreen credit though she retained the rights to any non-film adaptations; see below. When Bacall left the show, she was replaced by Anne Baxter, who had played Eve in the movie. At long last, Eve succeeded at becoming Margo! Adams and Strouse, unable to secure the rights to adapt the movie, instead got the rights from Mary Orr to adapt her original story, and brought in Comden and Green to write the script. Let us explain: The night before shooting began, Davis had a fight with her husband, William Sherry they were in the process of divorcing , and as a consequence had a raspy voice the next day. She could speak only in a lower register, which she now had to keep up for the whole movie.
