Screenings
All About Eve in 35mm
Writer-director Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s witty look at the backstage lives of actresses and the people in their inner circle was, fittingly enough, the first film to earn two Best Actress nominations—for Anne Baxter’s insinuating Eve, and Bette Davis’s virtuoso performance as the volatile yet vulnerable Broadway legend Margo Channing. All About Eve ties with Titanic (1997) and La La Land (2016) as the most nominated film in Oscar history, earning 14 nominations. The film won six Oscars, including for Mankiewicz’s directing and writing, and for George Sanders’s acerbic performance as the critic Addison DeWitt.
