Its old-fashioned, larger-than-life stars--including Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, and Celeste Holm--foudn their best roles in "Eve" and its sophisticated dialogue has entered the lexicon. But there's much more to know about "All About Eve," Sam Staggs has written the definitive account of the making of this fascinating movie and its enormous incluence on both film and popular culture. Staggs reveals "everything" about the movie--from the famous European actress Margo Channing was based on to the hot-blooded romance on-set between Bette Davis and costar Gary Merrill, from the jump-start the movie gave Marilyn Monroe's career to the capstone it put on director Joseph L. Mankeiwicz's. "All About "All About Eve"" is not only full of rich detail about the movie, the director, and the stars, but also about the audience who loved it when it came out and adore it to this day. |
