Fasten your seatbelts. This week on Required Viewing, we take our seats for Joseph L. Mankiewicz's All About Eve (1950), the backstage drama that earned 14 Oscar nominations, won six including Best Picture, and gave Bette Davis the role of a lifetime as Margo Channing, a Broadway star watching a devoted young fan, Anne Baxter's Eve Harrington, take a little too much interest in her life.We get into Mankiewicz's razor dialogue, George Sanders' Addison DeWitt as the critic who sees everything, the film's view of ambition and aging for women in show business, an early Marilyn Monroe appearance, and why a movie about the theater still feels like the sharpest movie ever made about fame. Ambition, envy and the price of the spotlight, from every angle.
