Charles Strouse vs. Andrew Lloyd Webber

Nobody answer that.
Kinda intriguing that the musical's producers could only buy the "Eve" short story rights, until Fox changed their mind very late in the game. Applause! has no Addison DeWitt, but a producer (played by the newly dead Robert Mandan) and a gay hairdresser.

my main problem with Eve is... Eve.
It takes way too long for these theatre sophistos to wake up to her agenda, Thelma Ritter aside.

Marilyn doesn't quite nail her "unhappy rabbits" line, but it's still a good one.

there's a CC supplement on "the real Eve" in which the fur really flies via audio tape

Often I ask if Anne Baxter plays Eve as a lousy actress who persuades people who wanted persuasion.

I watched All About Eve for the first time last night and, alarmingly, did not like it very much. I'm not at all happy about this.

Sunset Blvd is definitely the winner with the sound off.
(it's a MOVie after all)

haha!
In my defence, I did watch Sullivan's Travels for the first time tonight and was moved by it.

I'm not sure I've ever seen "All About Eve," tbh, for no particular reason, but it's been on my short list of movies to watch with my daughter. In this case I'm wondering what we will *both* think, in real time.

Sunset Blvd obv but I love the packed cast of Eve. Monroe is very funny. Though whenever I see George Sanders now I just think of Psychomania. He didn't have to die! They're both good!

i suspect film-y types are required by law to prefer sunset blvd, and it probably is the better movie, but i'd rather watch all about eve again, it's just a blast.― J.D., Tuesday, October 17, 2006 2:24 AM (thirteen years ago)
i still feel this way!

I like morbs' post that "Sunset is the most fun vampire film of its era."
