All About Eve

When Eve and Addison De Witt are walking down the street in New Haven from the Schubert Theater, the pedestrians behind them are walking at a faster pace, but never gain any ground on them.

While Phoebe is looking at herself in the mirror during the final scene, a crew member sitting on a crane is visible for a few seconds at the top of the shot.

After Margo reads the note written by Eve, Bill says, "I understand she's the understudy in there.

" However, when he turns his head to the camera, his lips aren't forming any words.

Bill prepares only two martinis and gives one to Margo and the other to Karen.

However, after she drinks, Margo gives him back the empty glass and receives one more.

After she drinks the martinis, Margo goes up the stairs holding the cigarette in her right hand.

Next shot it is in her left hand.

Sitting on the stair step behind Eve, Bill leans his right arm on his legs.

In the subsequent shot, when she stands up, his right hand appears high about his head.

In The Cub Room, Margo holds a lit cigarette.

In the next shot, without having put it in her mouth, she puffs a cloud of smoke.

After Bill proposes a toast to Margo, she changes the cigarette from her left hand to her right.

But next shot it is still in her left hand.

Just before he enters Eve's suite, DeWitt swaps his cane from his left hand to the right.

In following shot, shown from inside, he repeats the change.

After she arrives at home, Eve picks up one ice cube, puts it in the glass and pours a drink.

Phoebe startles her and she drops the drink.

Phoebe gathers the glass and two ice cubes.

In the first scene just as the camera pulls away from the award plaque, the dolly tracks are visible on the floor.

When Eve tells her life story in the dressing room, she says "then the war came, and we got married.

Eddie was in the air force - and they sent him to the South Pacific.

" The Air Force, wasn't formed until after the war in 1947.

During the war it was called the Army Air Forces.

When Karen, Bill and Margo are returning from a long weekend in the country, they run out of gas.

They mention having driven the car over the last few days, but in the two closeups of the dashboard the odometer only reads between 00023 and 00024 miles - the studio probably bought a new car and cut it apart for the interior process shots.

The hands in the bedside clocks do not move.

At the beginning of Addison DeWitt's "introduction-speech" of everyone in the movie, he's supposed to look at the stage.

But the rest of the audience behind him is clearly staring in a different direction.

In the Cub room, after Eve has returned from her restroom talk with Karen, Addison DeWitt is tapping his cigarette into the ashtray.

The cigarette falls off from the holder.

He continues tapping until he realizes it fell off and then he attempts to hide the holder behind his hands.

In the dressing-room scene at the beginning, Margot turns in her chair to look at Karen.

In the subsequent reverse angle, her arm positioning across the back of the chair has completely changed.

When the car runs out of gas, the fuel gauge still shows that the tank is just under half full.

In the closing credits, the character of Bill Sampson is shown as Bill Simpson.

When Addison slaps Eve in the hotel room, her head snaps toward him rather than away, indicating a "stage" slap.

In the car, the snow tracks seen through the back window behind Karen curve to the left, whilst those behind Margo curve to the right.

Having seen this film for the first time today, 70 years after its release and still having the impact that it has is outstanding. Excellent writing, directing and performances all around, particularly by Bette Davis and Anne Baxter in their respective immortal roles, as well as unpredictable and filled with complex characters and relationships, All About Eve is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Men 's success may only need to believe in themselves, but women 's success also needs to deceive themselvesNow I see that "the protagonist reflects the spirit of vigor and enthusiasm and self-improvement. At the same time, the spirit of drilling speculatively and climbing up by any means is also worthy of criticism.

The scene at the end of the film is so impressive. Several mirrors piled up the figure of thousands of girls holding up their heads proudly with cups in their hands.

Positive1. Excellent storytelling2.

All about Eve has everything a good movie should have great acting, outstanding direction, brilliant writing and one of the top movie stars of all time. Bette Davis stars as an actress used to the top and awards while anne baxter plays her anxious and enthusiastic, perhaps too enthusiastic admirer.

It's brisk, sharp, funny and sarcastic. I loved it.

A good friend had encouraged me for years to view this film,and the day finally came.Here is my assessment:In the midst of what many believe to be Bette Davis' best work,we have Anne Baxter,in my opinion,in effect stealing the show from her.

The storyline is one of the most original and beautiful ones ever written for the big screen The dialogues are sharp and witty. So the Oscars for writing and screenplay is spot on The way the movie moves, the audience (at least me) is held in rapt attention and never once does the pace drop or the intrigue lose intensity.

Joseph L. Mankiewicz directed this multi-Academy Award winning(best picture, director, and screenplay) film about the rise of Eve Harrington(played by Anne Baxter) a conniving stage actress whose ruthless climb to success comes at the expense of her "idol" Margo Channing(played by Bette Davis) whom she first befriends, then later undermines by disrupting the lives of her director boyfriend(played by Gary Merrill) and her screenwriter friends(played by Hugh Marlowe and Celeste Holm) But it is cynical and acerbic critic Addison De Witt(played by George Sanders in an Academy Award winning best supporting acting performance) that retells the story of Eve, who sees right through her act, and discovers her hidden past.
