Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })All About Eve is a 1950 20th Century Fox film, written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. It recounts the tale of Margo Channing (Bette Davis), a seasoned veteran of the stage and the darling of Broadway, taking under her wing Eve Harrington, a young acolyte with nowhere else to go, whose motives are not what they seem. Other important characters include Addison DeWitt, a jaded, cynical, and frighteningly influential drama critic; Bill Samson, Margo's director boyfriend; Lloyd Richards, Margo's playwright; and Karen, Lloyd's wife and Margo's closest friend and confidant. The costumes were by famed Hollywood designer Edith Head and the film score was by Alfred Newman. Marilyn Monroe also appears in a small role.All About Eve was nominated for fourteen Academy Awards (including a whopping four nominations just for the actresses) and won six, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (for George Sanders as Addison DeWitt), Best Costume Design for a Black-and-White film (Edith Head and Charles Le Maire), Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Sound Recording. This is still the record, with only Titanic (1997) and La La Land equaling it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })A Broadway musical adaptation starring Lauren Bacall, Applause, was produced in 1970.

Adam and/or Eve: The movie is about a specific woman, but also about many female characters who are trying to negotiate their identity as women in the modern world. Get it? It's "All About Eve"???

Ambiguously Gay: Modern viewers like to imagine Addison and Eve as homosexuals, Addison from his posh way of speaking and Eve from her obsession with Margo. Regardless it's revealed that Eve was run out of town for having an affair with a married man, and Addison blackmails her into marrying him so this one is up in the air.
