“Bill’s thirty-two. He looks thirty-two. He looked it five years ago, he’ll look it twenty years from now. I hate men. “

ALL ABOUT EVE plays at The Tivoli Theater (6350 Delmar in St. Louis) Monday July 15th as part of the ‘Classics on the Loop’ series. Showtimes are 4pm and 7pm. Admission is $7.

A publicity still from the 1950 Academy Award®-winning drama “All about Eve” features (left to right): Gary Merrill, Bette Davis, George Sanders, Anne Baxter, Hugh Marlowe and Celeste Holm. “All about Eve” received a record 14 Academy Award nominations and won six Oscars®, including Best Picture.

It is almost impossible to find fault in the performances in
ALL ABOUT EVE . Bette Davis is in her element as Margo Channing and Anne Baxter is great as the cunning, if not slightly deranged, Eve. Support cast is fabulous. George Sanders is dry and unscrupulous, delivering cynical and snide comments with perfect charm. Thelma Ritter plays Margo’s dresser Birdie, and her hardened suspicion is the perfect contrast to Eve’s phony wide-eyed innocence.

All About Eve is one of the best examples of film making of the classic Hollywood era: great cinematography, excellent performances and a fantastic screenplay. Nothing superfluous, everything essential. It is no surprise this film won Oscars for both best director and best screenplay, as well as 4 others. ALL ABOUT EVE can be viewed over and over; it never gets old.

Here’s the ‘Classics on the Loop’ series line-up:
