Synopsis
Known now as one of the era-defining films of Classical Hollywood, this dark satire is narrated by acerbic theatre critic Addison Dewitt, who introduces us to Eve Harrington, an ambitious young actress who is appointed as a personal assistant to established theatre actress Margo Channing after a backstage encounter at one of her plays. Unbeknown to Margo, Eve has lofty ambitions of fame and uses manipulative tactics to begin hoisting herself up the showbusiness ladder, by any means possible. Witty and charming whilst also maintaining a cruel edge, All About Eve is also an early example of film delving into its own mythology, exploring the toxic nature of how women are treated in showbusiness and the dangerous desire for immortality.
