poster All About Eve (Joseph Mankiewicz, US 1950)
Bette Davis stars as Margo Channing, an actress accustomed to her entourage’s adoration and a ceaseless source of indefatigable cynical one-liners that cement her status. The diva is blind to the fact that the at least equally ambitious Eve Harrington is warming up in the wings. In fact Eve becomes her personal assistant.
