All About Eve (1950, 2 hrs 18 mins)
This Saturday, 14th November at 6.00 pm, at the Ravindra Bhawan Film Club, we are screening the acclaimed film, _All About Eve_ (1950, 2 hrs 18 mins), directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. The film received six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Mankiewicz’s razor-sharp backstage drama follows Margo (Bette Davis), a celebrated Broadway actress whose life is disrupted when the seemingly devoted young fan Eve (Anne Baxter) enters her world. Taken under Margo’s wing, Eve gradually reveals herself to be far more ambitious and calculating than she first appears, using Margo and those around her to climb towards stardom. With unforgettable performances from Bette Davis, Anne Baxter and George Sanders, it remains a classic of Hollywood’s golden age.
