Based on the story “The Wisdom of Eve” by Mary Orr, All About Eve is an elegantly bitchy backstage story revolving around aspiring actress Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter). Tattered and forlorn, Eve shows up in the dressing room of Broadway mega-star Margo Channing (Bette Davis), weaving a melancholy life story to Margo and her friends. Taking pity on the girl, Margo takes Eve as her personal assistant. Before long, it becomes apparent that naïve Eve is really a Machiavellian conniver who cold-bloodedly uses Margo, her director Bill Sampson, and playwright Lloyd Richards to rise to the top of the theatrical heap.— All Rovi
