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 OSCAR® winner for Best Picture.

From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington (ANNE BAXTER) moves 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 her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit. THELMA RITTER and MARILYN MONROE co-star in this acclaimed classic, which won six ACADEMY AWARDS® and received the most nominations (14) in film history.
