This witty, cynical showbiz classic pits a rising star against her mentor (Bette Davis).
One of the wittiest (and most cynical) films of all time, All About Eve is the only film in which four actresses were nominated for Oscars (the film earned a record 14 Oscar Nominations, which has been tied but not beaten). From secretary to understudy to starlet, an aspiring young actress schemes her way to stardom at the expense of her mentor (Bette Davis), who reads the signs but is powerless to stop her. This darkly funny tale of women competing in show business is as relevant as ever, as the value placed on youth will continue to pit women against each other. D: Joseph L. Mankiewicz, USA, 1950, 138m
