About this listen

To millions of fans, All About Eve represents all that’s witty and wonderful in classic Hollywood movies. Its old-fashioned, larger-than-life stars - including Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, and Celeste Holm - found their best roles in this movie, 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 influence on both film and popular culture. Staggs reveals everything about the movie - from whom 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. Mankiewicz’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.

Donald Corren reads all the bon mots and pithy putdowns and you’d swear you were listening to Bette Davis and George Sanders themselves.

The bitchiness!

Everything you could possibly want to know about one of the greatest films made during the golden age of Hollywood , well researched with more detail than I thought possible. The only thing missing is a one on one interview with a single star of the movie , because most were dead when it was written and Anne Baxter refused to do it , but the author has assembled quotes and information from myriad sources so it is steeped in its subject . I enjoyed it immensely.
