From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington is determined to take the reins of power away from the great actress Margo Channing. Eve maneuvers her way into Margo's Broadway role, becomes a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend, her playwright and his wife. Only the cynical drama critic sees through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit.
A chamber piece of dressing rooms, backstage corridors and parties where nearly everything happens through dialogue. The lines are sharp, dry and full of wit, and you watch every character calculate their next move. It is a look behind the curtain of the theatre that entertains and leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Good for you if you like films driven by sharp dialogue, vanity and power games in show business.
