All about All about Eve: The Complete Behind-The-Scenes Story of the Bitchiest Film Ever Made
All about All about Eve: The Complete Behind-The-Scenes Story of the Bitchiest Film Ever Made | Sam Staggs
2 posts | 3 read
To millions of fans, All About Eve represents all that's witty and wonderful in classic Hollywood movies. Its old-fashioned, larger-than-life stars--including Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, and Celeste Holm--found their best roles in Eve and its sophisticated dialogue has entered the lexicon.But there's much more to know about All About Eve. Sam Staggs has written the definitive account of the making of this fascinating movie and its enormous incluence on both film and popular culture. Staggs reveals everything about the movie--from the famous European actress Margo Channing was based on to the hot-blooded romance on-set between Bette Davis and costar Gary Merrill, from the jump-start the movie gave Marilyn Monroe's career to the capstone it put on director Joseph L. Mankeiwicz's.All About "All About Eve" is not only full of rich detail about the movie, the director, and the stars, but also about the audience who loved it when it came out and adore it to this day.

#WonterWonderland #December I'm linking to the band not the song here because All About Eve is my all time favourite film. This book is full of fascinating information about the creatives behind the movie, the actors in it, the process of filming it and how it was received. It's a must read if you love the film. I can't find my copy to photograph it which is very frustrating. I really need to reorganise my library.

Cinfhen Yay!!! You‘re back {for the moment 😘😘} Never saw the film 🙈 6y

CarolynM @Ruthiella There are so many fabulous lines "We are the original displaced personalities" 6y
Reggie Have you ever seen a Spanish movie called All About my Mother by Pedro Almodovar? It‘s so good and he sneaks the All About Eve subplot in there. I think you‘d like it. 6y
CarolynM @Reggie I remember wanting to see it when it came out but for various reasons I never have. One day...🙂 (edited) 6y
