All About Eve (1950): 23rd Winner for Best Picture

All About Eve (1950)
Date viewed: 24 August 2014

In short this film was basically a cat fight in the theatre featuring a young Marilyn for a cameo appearance. (Obviously Marilyn became for famous in later years).

Okay, maybe a bit more than a cat fight - there was some good character development with the main character.

I have to admit that it was also a good portrayal of the negative attitudes that theatrical actors had toward what would have been the 'boom' in TV and film actors in Hollywood at that time. In a sense it was kind of ironic that it made it to the movie screen.

Why did it win Best Picture? The only things I could pick would be good character development with the main character as well as the TV and film actor 'boom' portrayal that would have been quite relevant at the time.
