Another one that needed a rewatch. It wasn't because I didn't remember it. More because I wanted to review it. There are some big names in it for sure. Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe (a small role) and Anne Baxter.
Eve is hanging outside the theater, waiting for a glimpse of her idol, Margo Channing. An introduction starts a series of events that intertwines the two women's lives. Eve portrays the picture of innocence and humility, but something lies beneath the surface that no one will spot until it's too late.
This is one of those times where it seems like no good deed goes unpunished. Margo takes in Eve thinking she's a poor widow just looking for a break. Instead, once Margo catches on to Eve's little manipulations, everyone thinks Margo is persecuting the young woman and overreacting.
I still enjoyed this movie. The villainous Addison (George Sanders) was the kind of antihero I could cheer for. Sometimes. Well, just at the end really. Even though Eve ran over these people's lives, they didn't end up alone and miserable. They discovered what was important in life and clung to it. Good Movie!
