The listing, VHS ALL ABOUT EVE, BETTE DAVIS & TOP ACTORS,ACADEMY AWARDS, AGING ACTRESS MAKES WAY FOR FORMAL PUPIL has ended.
BLACK "HARD BOX" ISSUE OF 20th Century Fox. (Not a rip off edition) "ALL ABOUT EVE" Painful at times as aging often is for all of us, Bette has to try to be graceful as a former drama student of hers, Anne Baxter, is taking parts she feels she is still able to do. Funny at times, for the support and help of her friends who understand!
A good bittersweet comedy is one that has wit, charm, and of course is actually clever. "All About Eve" has all three! Bette Davis stars as a fading Hollywood leading lady Marogo Channing, who must now step aside as her former pupil has become the new "it" girl, Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter). Both were up for Oscars in what has become the most talked about Oscar race in history (51 years so far and still going strong!). Everyone in this movie acts perfectly alongside each other. George Sanders is just great as Addison De Witt, the man who brought Eve and Margo together. He also happened to win an Oscar for best supporting actor. And the rest of the supporting cast is terrific also. Thelma Ritter, Celeste Holm, and there's even room for Marilyn Monroe to make her first screen appearance! Mankiewicz, to me was never able to make a film as wonderful as this, and will always remain to me as his best film. If anyone who hasn't seen this film ever gets the chance to see it, please don't pass it up. It's definitely worth getting
VERY NICE CONDITION IN THE STRONG HARD CASE--MOVIE is from 1950--Had to charge a bit more to mail due to weight.
