From the title onward, I’ll dismiss him.
I did something today I rarely (but always hugely) enjoy.
I watched “All About Eve”.
For those who don’t know, it’s about a woman named Margo Channing (Played by an incomparable Bette Davis) who is the stage actor of her time and her run in with Eve Harrington (played by Ann Baxter), the story builds, the dialogue gets snarky, the claws come out and the cats go to war.
It won the 58??? I guess Academy Award for best picture, after 14 nominations, but sadly, David lost her nomination to some piece of filmstock I never even saw!
The reason I mention it is there is one scene when Merril chews Davis out about “the theatre...” and it’s pretty ironic the things he says about New York and Broadway (without mentioning either by name, but you get the gist!)
Great film. But for a New Yorker to once again say “Broadway...!!!”, well back to what Merril said!
