All About Eve

Dir: Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1950 (10*)

Best Picture (AA/BAA)

This acerbic backstage drama is one of the best plays about film or theater ever put on film, deservedly won a academy award for Best Picture. Both star Bette Davis and her understudy, played by Ann Baxter, are perfect, as is the entire supporting cast, led by George Sanders, another Oscar winner. 6 Oscars total.
