All About Eve (film, 1950)

All About Eve (film, 1950) was a critically acclaimed movie that was also successful at the box office, garnering revenue of about six times its budget costs. The plot concerns an aspiring actress who is taken under the wing of an established actress, but then the aspiring actress manipulates her mentor.

It was considered one of Bette Davis's finest performances, although the Academy Award did not go to her probably because another actress from this movie was also nominated in the best actress category.

Marilyn Monroe had a small role in this film, which was one of her first movies.

The movie was adapted from a story, The Wisdom of Eve.
