Bette Davis in ALL ABOUT EVE Returns to Movie Theaters March 5th and 8th

  

Fifty-seven years ago, ALL ABOUT EVE  received a remarkable 14 Oscar Nominations.   — a feat accomplished only two other times in Oscar  history, including this year’s 14 nominations for La La Land.  (The other was Titanic in 1997.)

Just days after this year’s Oscar® statuettes are handed out, one of the most vicious, delicious, cynical and legendary sagas of show-business backstabbing returns to the silver screen: ALL ABOUT EVE  will play on more than 600 movie screens nationwide at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday, March 5, and Wednesday, March 8.

It’s a film filled with some of the most indelible performances ever committed to film, including Bette Davis at her disillusioned best, and Marilyn Monroe as her star was ascending.  Yet for all its glory, many people have never seen ALL ABOUT EVE in a movie theater … but movie fans around the country have that opportunity thanks to Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies.

Bette Davis stars as Margo Channing in the film that critic Roger Ebert called “her greatest role” – a Broadway star who is nearly undone by the treacherous Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) in All About Eve, from 20th Century Fox. Presented as part of the TCM Big Screen Classics series, All About Eve hits movie theaters nationwide for two days only on March 5 and 8.

Only two films, Titanic and this year’s La La Land, have received as many Oscar nominations as 1950’s All About Eve – whose 14 nominations led to six Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor (George Sanders).  Its director, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, was also honored with an Oscar for his masterful work, and his great-nephew, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) host Ben Mankiewicz, presents newly produced commentary before and after the feature.
