Showered with Oscars, this wonderfully bitchy (and witty) comedy written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz concerns an aging theater star (Bette Davis) whose life is being supplanted by a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing ingenue (Anne Baxter) whom she helped. This is a film for a viewer to take in like a box of chocolates, packed with scene-for-scene delights that make the entire story even better than it really is. The film also gives deviously talented actors such as George Sanders and Thelma Ritter a chance to speak dazzling lines; Davis bites into her role and never lets go. A classic from Mankiewicz, a legendary screenwriter and the brilliant director of A Letter to Three Wives, The Barefoot Contessa, and Sleuth. --Tom Keogh

Description

From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington (ANN BAXTER) is determined to take the reins of power away from the great actress Margo Channing (BETTE DAVIS). Eve maneuvers her way into Margo's Broadway role, becomes a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend (GARY MERRILL), her playwright (HUGH MARLOWE) and his wife (CELESTE HOLM). Only the cynical drama critic (Oscar winner GEORGE SANDERS) sees through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit. THELMA RITTER and MARILYN MONROE co-star in this acclaimed classic, which won six Academy Awards and received the most nominations (14) in film history.

A Lesson In Acting. Great Peformances & Crackling Script Make This A Classic........2007-07-01

Joseph L. Mankewicz (who would go on to direct the infamous 1963 epic
"Cleopatra" and the 1972 mystery "Sleuth," starring the greatest stage & screen actor ever to inhabit the Earth, Sir Laurence Olivier) writes and directs this witty film about Hollywood (the other film which worked like this was the 1952 classic "Singin' In The Rain"). Watch for a young Marilyn Monroe in one of her first films (sadly, she would die 10 years later). Bette Davis, Celeste Holm (Best Supporting Actress for the classic
"Gentleman's Agreement"), Anne Baxter, Guy Merrill and George Sanders (who would win Best Supporting Actor) star in this classic film. A MUST for anyone interested in the art of acting. Not Rated.

Great PMS Movie!.......2007-06-27

This is a great movie for anyone who has been deceived by a so called friend.

It is also great for anyone who feels as though their looks are fading because of age.
This movie makes you feel great! especially when there is triumph and satisfaction at the end.

All About Eve.......2007-06-25

Sharp, caustic take on the theatre world, and the wide assortment of parasites, barracudas, and hangers-on that populate it. Eve is the wolf in sheep's clothing, a comer with just enough talent and cunning to penetrate Margo's inner circle and catch her when she's vulnerable and feeling her age. Davis gives the best performance of her long career, and young Baxter is outstanding. George Sanders also impresses as jaded critic Addison De Witt, the only soul wise enough to see what Eve is up to. On his arm in one key scene is Marilyn Monroe, in a minor bit as a vacuous but decorative chorus girl. A must-see.

BETTE DAVIES IS THE BOMB.......2007-06-23

FOR ALL BETTE DAVIS COLLECTORS OF HER FILM WORKS, THIS IS A MUST!! HER GENIUS AND TALENT AS AN AMERICAN ACTRESS HAS NEVER BEEN EQUALED!

Simply Classic.......2007-06-12

All About Eve is a sinister tale of "Men and Thier Women". Eve Harrington is a simpleton town girl who comes to the big city looking for resolution to her previous hard lived life. and Eve found Margo Channing, the biggest stage actress of the country. Margo decided to take eve on as planning secratery. Margo despiter her exceeding talents of stage acting is becoming more and more insecure at her age of 42, and Eve shadowing her did not exactly help. As the movie progresses Margo has classic outbursts such as "buckle your seatbelts, its going to be a bumpy night." so the audience asks themselves, is Margo Channing paranoid? or is the world All About Eve who is trying to upstage Margo any time she gets? I love this film, and it is cleverly written. Five stars all the way!

Sunrise (1927)
There are those who rate Sunrise the greatest of all silent films. Then again, some consider it the finest film from any era. Such claims invite a backlash, but do yourself a favor and give it a look. At the very least, you'll know you've seen a movie of extraordinary visual beauty and emotional purity. This universal tale of a farm couple's journey from country to city and back again was the first American film for F.W. Murnau, the German director of Nosferatu and The Last Laugh whose everyday scenes seemed haunted by phantoms and whose most extravagant visions never lost touch with reality. Hollywood afforded him the technical resources to unleash his imagination, and in turn he opened up the power of camera movement and composition for a generation of American filmmakers. You'll never forget the walk in the swamp, the ripples on the lake, the trolley ride from forest to metropolis. This movie defines the cinema. --Richard T. Jameson

How Green Was My Valley (1941)
John Ford's beautiful, heartfelt drama about a close-knit family of Welsh coal miners is one of the greatest films of Hollywood's golden age--a gentle masterpiece that beat Citizen Kane in the Best Picture race for the 1941 Academy Awards. The picture also won Oscars for Best Director (Ford), Best Supporting Actor (Donald Crisp), Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography; all of those awards were richly deserved, even if they came at the expense of Kane and Orson Welles. Based on the novel by Richard Llewellyn, the film focuses its eventful story on 10-year-old Huw (Roddy McDowall), youngest of seven children to Mr. and Mrs. Morgan (Donald Crisp, Sarah Allgood), a hardy couple who've seen the best and worst of times in their South Wales mining town. They're facing one of the worst times as Mr. Morgan refuses to join a miners union whose members have begun a long-term strike. Family tensions grow and Huw must learn many of life's harsher lessons under the tutelage of the local preacher (Walter Pidgeon), who has fallen in love with Huw's sister (Maureen O'Hara). As various crises are confronted and devastating losses endured, How Green Was My Valley unfolds as a rich, moving portrait of family strength and integrity. It's also a nod to a simpler, more innocent time--and to the preciousness of memory and the inevitable passage from youth to adulthood. An all-time classic, not to be missed. --Jeff Shannon

Gentleman's Agreement (1947)
Elia Kazan directed this sometimes powerful study of anti-Semitism in nicer circles, based on Laura Z. Hobson's post-World War II novel. Gregory Peck is a hotshot magazine writer who has been blind to the problem; to ferret it out, he passes himself off as Jewish and watches the WASPs squirm. Seen a half-century later, the attitudes seem quaint and dated: Could it really have been like this? Yet the truth of the story comes through, in the wounded dignity of John Garfield, the upright indignation of Peck, and the hidden ways bigotry and hatred can poison relationships. That's particularly true in the Oscar-winning performance of Celeste Holm, who finds more layers than you'd expect in what seems like a stock character. --Marshall Fine

All About Eve (1950)
Showered with Oscars, this wonderfully bitchy (and witty) comedy written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz concerns an aging theater star (Bette Davis) whose life is being supplanted by a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing ingenue (Anne Baxter) whom she helped. This is a film for a viewer to take in like a box of chocolates, packed with scene-for-scene delights that make the entire story even better than it really is. The film also gives deviously talented actors such as George Sanders and Thelma Ritter a chance to speak dazzling lines; Davis bites into her role and never lets go. A classic from Mankiewicz, a legendary screenwriter and the brilliant director of A Letter to Three Wives, The Barefoot Contessa, and Sleuth. --Tom Keogh

Great movies.......2007-05-11

I was looking for All About Eve, but I ended up three othet great movies. What a wonderful bonus

Collection does not overlap the other Best Picture collections.......2007-02-03

These are four of the eight Best Picture winners produced by Fox Film Corporation, the others being "Cavalcade", "Sound of Music", "Patton", and "The French Connection". I'll give a brief run down on my opinion of each film:

Sunrise (1927) - Winner of "Best Artistic Picture" of 1927-8, this is actually NOT a best picture winner in the strict sense. That film would be "Wings". However, this is a much better movie. The whole picture is a work of art. Director F.W. Murnau actually makes you somewhat sorry that silent pictures are obsolete, and the cinematography has to be seen to be believed. The story is simple - A farmer falls for a woman from the city, almost resorts to killing his wife to be rid of her, comes to his senses, and the man and wife remember why they got married in the first place while having a day of fun in the City. If you don't like artistic pictures, you may not like this one, but it is one of my favorites.

How Green Was My Valley (1941) - The most amazing factoid about this film is that it beat Citizen Kane for Best Picture, and yet today it is relatively forgotten compared to that film. The film is pretty good though. It is about a Welsh family and the impact of how their green lush Welsh valley is ruined by mining at the turn of the twentieth century. John Ford directs.

Gentleman's Agreement (1947) - One of the first "socially relevant" films to win Best Picture. Gregory Peck pretends to be Jewish to collect material for a story on being Jewish in America. The message is powerful, but there are some distracting subplots going on - most notably Peck and his relationship with his sick mother, and Peck's romance with Dorothy McGuire that rings hollow.

All About Eve (1950) - This is a great one. Powerful acting by everyone. Just when you think there is nobody more evil than Anne Baxter's Eve Harrington, along comes George Sander's Addison DeWitt and kicks her to the curb in that category. Then there's the wonderful Bette Davis as aging star Margo Channing. This role reinvigorated Davis' career, which had been on a downward slide for a few years.

In summary you get two great Best Pictures - Sunrise and All About Eve, and two good Best Pictures - How Green was My Valley and Gentleman's Agreement, all for a reasonable price that does not overlap with other Best Picture boxed sets and DVD bundles. I recommend it.

Hollywood masterpieces.......2007-01-16

I have been trying for over a year to obtain a copy of Sunrise. I had seen the film about two years ago on the Turner Classical Movies channel and it had a profound impact on me. The characters were so human and modern in their behavior. And, although certain directors of the 20's seemed to like advancing the plot or time element through superimposing one frame over another and it could be annoying and confusing, in this film it was a fascinating technique to watch. This is a film in which you can get totally engrossed. The story is timeless and poignant. I am so glad this film was included with the "talkie" best picture films (which, it goes without saying are among the superior films of the 30's and 40's).

Very good value -- even if you own a couple already!.......2005-07-01

I have to take issue with "Moviefanatic", who objected to having no lower-cost, 'Sunrise'-only alternative to this set.

I could see his point if they were charging a premium price for the set, but they're not. The cost of this 4-film set is less, for example, than for the 1-disk Criterion edition of 'The Passion of Joan of Arc', or the Kino or Image Entertainment versions of 'Intolerance'. (To say nothing of other silent masterpieces, like 'The Crowd', which have never received DVD release.)

If it helps, you can think of the other three films as bonus filler items. They are all worthy pictures. 'How Green Was My Valley' is often called sentimental, and in some ways it is, but it is a dark, sad movie, and one of Ford's best. 'Gentleman's Agreement' is the weakest film here, a sincere and well-intentioned attack on American anti-Semitism, but rather talky and slow. If it doesn't represent Kazan's best work, it still stands up as historically important. 'All About Eve' was for years the film with the most Oscar nominations (14); it too is talky, but with dialogue this memorable, talky is in this case a good thing.

But the big attraction of this set is 'Sunrise'. Technically, you could argue 'Sunrise' is out of place here, as is not exactly a "Best Picture" Oscar-winner. In the first year of the Academy Awards, 1927-28, the award for "Best Production" was split between 'Wings' and 'The Last Command', while 'Sunrise' got the award -- issued that year only -- for "Best Artistic Quality of Production", beating out 'The Crowd' and 'Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness'. (Incidentally, none of those three films were nominated for "Best Production", and 'The Crowd' would have taken the Artistic Quality award if not for an all-night fillibuster by L.B. Mayer.) But this is trivia; both 'Sunrise' and 'The Crowd' are legitimate masterpieces.

I had never heard of 'Chang', but it is available on DVD, from Image Entertainment -- for about the same price as this 4-disk set.

Bottom line: This set features three great movies, one of which is otherwise unavailable, and one good one. The set is a terrific bargain. Case closed; buy it.

Clever Packaging!.......2005-06-06

I have to admit that all of these movies are great. Unfortunately, all of them (except 'Sunrise') have been available in other editions. So what do the lovers of Murnau's masterpiece have to do? In order to get their hands on the cherished bonus, they have to buy three other movies that they have probably watched countless number of times. I have to give credit to this DVD set creators/promoters. This is business sense (shameless and greedy) at its best! And people flock to buy it and give praises. Everybody is happy (or furious)... You decide.

Studio Classics - That's Entertainment.......2007-07-04

No - Studio Classics are not the great musicals of MGM, but it is a group of great movies from Hollywood. All but four of the movies are Oscar winners in a major category and four best picture winners. You need to like the black and white movies of the late 30's into the 40's and the All-Star color classics of the 50's. Not certain I'd call this a "collection," since it is a pretty eclectic group of movies, but a treasure chest of viewing pleasure for those that can watch a great movie again and again. Bring on the popcorn!

Zorba the Greek (1964), Nominated Best Picture, stars Anthony Quinn.
Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964), Bette Davis in a great bizarre tale.
How to Steal a Million (1966), classic 60's comedy with Peter O'Toole & Audrey Hepburn.
Two for the Road (1967), Nominated for best screenplay, great love story told in flashbacks.
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969), Best Actress for Maggie Smith as a schoolteacher with unconventional ideas.

All in all, this is a good collection of 40 critically acclaimed and award-winning films from the years 1937-1969 that continue to be popular. They encompass all genres, and I count only two real clunkers among them - "Return to Peyton Place" and "The Rains Came". There are a lot of Academy Award winners among them - and I'm not talking just Best Song or Best Cinematography either. I counted 15 nominations for best picture, and a few actually won the top award. With the price heavily discounted as it is, it works out to six dollars per classic movie, which is a pretty good deal.

My impression is that this is just a DVD bundle, not a collector's edition of any kind. Thus I would not anticipate any extras other than those that are already on the included individual DVD's containing the movies themselves.

What is this?.......2007-01-20

You would think for five hundred and fifty five dollars there would at least be a list of the movies included!!

A real tear jerker.......2007-02-05

Where to begin with this review. I'm going to have to break it up into:
3 stars for the music
4 stars for script / writing
5 stars for acting
After watching, my lovely sam-soon, I felt the music for this "All about Eve" really lacked. It could of been alot better. Good Girl Sun-mi is crying every 5 minutes in every episode and they could of introduced some western music like Seals "don't cry" and it would of helped. Kyung-chul is telling her not to cry, ever again. Up to about the 12th episode, I was wondering why it was called "all about eve" as there is no one named eve in it, then, they create this morning show called, eves morning. I think it would of been more aptly named, "Babes of Broadcasting". These women are insanely beautiful in this drama.

The script writing has some holes in it, and you are left wondering what is really happening or how it did happen. Example, when evil young-mi goes to the hospital, I wasn't sure if she was getting an abortion or having a miscarriage or what, but its cleared up about 4 episodes after.

Ahhhh, the real story is the beautifully evil young-mi. Very talented actress with lips like sugar. Some adjectives that describe her part are, deceitful, liar, manipulative, conniving, treacherous, scary, amazing, ambitious, aggressive, smart and foremost, deadly. Her part kept me glued to the drama. She will stop at nothing to anchor the 9 oclock news.

Sun-mi just crys too much in this. Every 5 minutes, tears are flowing. If I had a girlfriend that cried that much, I would be seeking psychiatrict help for her. And there is nobody that nice in this world, very unrealistic her part. Shes this goody goody nice girl type. Quite a few episodes, she has the worst hair I ever seen on a girl. Wavy, sticking out, they finally straighten that out about 6 episodes into the drama.

The girl in this drama who gets best mention is Joo-Hee. Very cute. Face like an angel. She wasn't really written into the script as much as I would of liked to have seen. She carrys herself well in this drama.

kyung-chul, hes quite a talented individual. He plays piano and sings and has cool looking guitars laying about, but never strums on any of them. Hes got the dream job and all the babes and bmw's. Its quite funny, he tells sun-mi hes unemployed, but hes floating around in bmw's.
He does a good job in his part tho. I really liked it when he plays piano.

These koreans really like their booze. Every episode features massive booze drinking and good food eating. Reminds me of my life. woo-jin turns into a raving alcholic drinking anything he can get his hands on when young-mi won't love him back. Sake, beer, whiskey, scotch ... you name it, its flowing freely in this drama. I could definately hang with some koreans!!!!

Worth mentioning, the clothes these women wear in this drama are very nice. I like that cut, conservative, dressy look. Very elegant, sophisticated dress. The ladies out there, will pick up on this.

Episode 20, the last one, gave me watery eyes. When sun-mi tells young-mi that they were "best friends" it really grabbed me. Great writing there guys.

All in all, I recommend this drama. Its very sad, especially towards the end. I don't really look at it as a love story as the other reviewer has ascertained to. Its more like Good vs Evil. With Good prevailing. The work environment these people are in is very dysfunctional. Makes for interesting drama. And as always, I love seeing the sights and sounds of korea.

K-Drama Fans...You'll love this!.......2006-08-13

All about Eve! I love this k-drama....It's so romantic! (sigh!) After watching this you'll wanna fall in love... I think this is even better than "Stairway to Heaven". This is the kind of k-drama that you'll watch over and over again... I know I have...he he he... this love story is so sweet!! I gaurantee that you'll love just as much as I do! It has a nice story with jus enough drama... For all you first time buyers of K-dramas!! This movie is a "must see"!
