Synopsis

The "dialogue is scintillating, characters….extraordinary, direction….perfect and production as fine as anything 20th Century Fox has turned out" in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's "captivating" (Variety) Oscar winner for Best Picture. From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington (ANNE BAXTER) move relentlessly towards her goal: taking the reins of power from the great actress Margo Channing (BETTE DAVIS).  The cunning Eve manoeuvres her way into Margo's Broadway role, becomes a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend (GARY MERRILL), her playwright (HUGH MARLOWE) and his wife (CELESTE HOLM).  Only the cynical drama critic (Oscar winner GEORGE SANDERS) sees through Eve, admiring audacity and perfect pattern of deceit. THELMA RITTER and MARILYN MONROW co-star in this acclaimed classic, which won six Academy Awards and received the most nominations (14) in film history.
