ALL ABOUT EVE

(Free and Open to the Public)

(American, 1950, 138 minutes, b&w, 35mm)

Directed by Joseph Mankiewicz
Starring Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders

A wickedly entertaining story of backstage back-stabbing, this acerbic drama revolves around an ambitious young actress and her scheming attempts to replace an aging Broadway star. ALL ABOUT EVE received six Academy Awards including Best Picture, and still co-holds the record (14, shared with TITANIC) for the most nominations.
