All About Eve

I finally got around to seeing this flick. It was on my queue over at NetFlix. This is the movie that features the famous quote by Bette Davis's character, Margo Channing. "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" All I can say is, they don't make them like this anymore. I loved it! I've always liked Bette Davis and she didn't disappoint in this movie. She plays stage actress Margo Channing, fortysomething and still being cast in roles where she is supposed to be in her twenties. Anne Baxter playes Eve Harrington, a conniving, scheming little bitch who manages to worm her way into Margos life, solely to advance her own career. She will use people to her advantage, all the while acting like a coy, naive little innocent. Great dialogue. This movie was made in 1950 and it holds up so well.
