Résumés(1)
Une jeune actrice ambitieuse obtient l'amitié d'une star de la scène. Tous les stratagèmes sont bons pour obtenir un rôle. « Si Eve est aujoud'hui le film le plus célèbre de son auteur, il le doit certainement à la qualité exceptionnelle de l'interprétation, au brio de ses dialogues et, surtout, à la virtuosité et à l'audace de son architecture dramatique. » (Action Cinémas/Théâtre du Temple)

Beautiful and noble dialogue in an inimitable atmosphere in a film that is beautiful to watch even in its calm and quiet moments. Joseph L. Mankiewicz showed two different perspectives on art, the ironic and career-focused attitude in the character of Margo (played impeccably by Bette Davis) and the idealistically naive and loving attitude in Eva. Or maybe...? ()
The performances are excellent, but the plot is insufficient given the running time. The exact opposite of this review, which is short but grossly inadequate in content. ()
All About Eve and perhaps Sunset Blvd. are classic examples of how Hollywood changed in the 1950s - until it changed completely. There was now more pressure, classic stars who had survived the war began to age inexorably, and the predatory youth slowly came to the fore. And that's exactly what these movies are about... ()
A superbly escalating film with incredible acting performances. We get actors who truly carry the film and propel it forward. The success of the film doesn't hinge on how perfectly each scene looks or what special effects are used, but simply on how well the actors handle their roles. And Mankiewicz managed to direct them excellently. ()
