Dies und das:

33 years later, life imitated art when Anne Baxter stepped into Bette Davis' shoes to replace her on the series "Hotel" (1983) after she fell ill. Ms. Davis never returned to the show.

Pannen:

Audio-Visuelle Asynchronität: After Margo reads the note written by Eve, Bill says, "I understand she's the understudy in there." However, when he turns his head to the camera, his lips aren't forming any words.

Dialogzitate:

Lloyd Richards: How about calling it a night?
Margo Channing: And you, pose as a playwright? A situation pregnant with possibilities and all you can think of is everybody go to sleep.

What can you say about a film like this? It has one of the greatest screenplays ever written, fabulous directing, and sensational performances by Anne Baxter, Bette Davis and George Sanders. And on top of it all, it's got Marilyn Monroe! What more could you want?!? It's full of snappy dialogue, great one liners, and a realistic and interesting plot. The epitome of good movie making. Oh, if only today's filmmakers were forced to watch All About Eve before they were allowed to make their own!
