"All About Eve" is the highly-acclaimed 1950 film that received a record 14 Academy Award nominations and six wins, including Best Actor (George Sanders), Best Director (Joseph L. Mankiewicz) and Best Picture. "All About Eve" tells the story of Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter), a young ingenue who, from the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, is determined to take the reins of power away from the great actress Margo Channing (Bette Davis). Eve maneuvers her way into Margo's Broadway role, becomes a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend (Gary Merrill), her playwright friend (Hugh Marlowe) and his wife (Celeste Holm). Only the cynical drama critic Addison DeWitt (Sanders) sees through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit.
Bonus features: commentaries, documentaries and rare photos.
