Featuring what is perhaps [[Bette Davis]]'s most memorable performance, '''''All About Eve''''' is a 1950 [[Twentieth Century Fox]] film, written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, recounting the tale of Margo Channing, a seasoned veteran of the stage and the darling of Broadway, taking under her wing Eve Harrington, a young acolyte with nowhere else to go, whose motives are not what they seem. Other important characters include Addison DeWitt, a jaded, cynical, and frighteningly influential drama critic; Bill Samson, Margo's director boyfriend; Lloyd Richards, Margo's playwright; and Karen, Lloyd's wife and Margo's [[The Confidant|closest friend and confidant]]. The costumes were by famed Hollywood designer Edith Head and the film score was by [[Alfred Newman]].▼
