All About Eve

FXM, 5:35 a.m. Fasten your seat belts — it’s going to be a bumpy night! A whopping 14 Oscar nominations went to writer/director Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s iconic and sardonic 1950 show business sag. The drama follows maturing stage diva Margo Channing (Bette Davis), who is moved enough by the straits of wideeyed fan Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) to take her on as an assistant. It isn’t long, though, before the not-so-naive apprentice craftily works Margo’s inner circle against one another in furtherance of her own aspirations to stardom. The film won six of the Academy Awards for which it was nominated, including Best Picture; Best Director and Best Writing, Screenplay (both to Mankiewicz); and Best Supporting Actor (George Sanders). Davis and Baxter were both nominated for Best Actress, and costars Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter received Best Supporting Actress nods. The stellar cast also includes Hugh Marlowe, Gary Merrill and Marilyn Monroe in one of her earliest roles.
