All About Eve

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Gary Merrill, Bette Davis, George Sanders, Anne Baxter, Hugh Marlowe, Celeste Holm

All About Eve - another great Bette Davis film .... so many stars it sparks right off the screen, I love it, love it, love it.  A cast like no other - George Sanders, Anne Baxter, Gary Merrill, Marilyn Monroe, etc. - 1950.  You may not know all these names but they were great, truly great as is this movie.

Film was break out role for Marilyn Monroe.  Starring role of Bette Davis mirrored her real life career pinacle, in her early forties, with only four major roles remaining.  Davis and Merrill began their love affair on set and later married as they did in this film.
