ALL ABOUT EVE (1950)

One night after a theater performance Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) is awaiting to see her idol, Margo Channing (Bette Davis), leave the theater, but to Eve's astonishment she is invited to Margo's lodge by Margo's best friend Karen Richards (Celeste Holm).  This leads to an invitation to become Margo's assistant which Eve gracefully accepts as it becomes her dream to work for Margo.  However, Eve appears to be too good to be true as Margo becomes irritated by Eve's constant goodwill and care.  It turn out that Eve has her own agenda, which she seeks to achieve with relentless dedication.  All About Eve offers a brilliant cinematic experience and its six Oscars including one for best film in 1951 displays the type of cinematic quality that the audience is to witness as they view this brilliant film.
