All About Eve: An Analysis

Writer/director Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s All About Eve (1950)[1] is the story of the rise of Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter), an ambitious and manipulative young actress. Under a guise of meekness, the scheming Eve manages to befriend a great lady of Broadway, Margo Channing (Bette Davis) and her intimate circle of friends. Along the way, she tries to seduce Margo’s love interest, Bill Sampson (Gary Merrill), steal Margo’s roles (and limelight) and break-up the marriage between playwright Lloyd Richards (Hugh Marlowe) and his wife (and Margo’s best friend), Karen (Celeste Holm). As a result of her machinations–and her association with acid-tongued theatre critic, Addison DeWitt (George Sanders)–Eve eventually finds success. Ultimately, All About Eve both portrays and questions the humanity (or the lack, thereof) of individuals who stop at nothing in order to achieve fame and fortune.
