ALL ABOUT EVE (1950)

This movie is really good. I was really impressed with the performances of Bette Davis and Anne Baxter. Bette has the ability to say a thousand things, without uttering a word. Her face is so expressive. This witty story is about an aging actress - Margo(Davis) and her ambitious protege - Eve (Baxter) who weasels her way into the lives and affections of high profile theatre people. I can't give too much of the story line away - but it's worth a watch.
Keep your eye out for an appearance of Marilyn Monroe, who plays a rather amusing character with excellent one liners.

This is where that line "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night" comes from. :)

This movie is on Youtube! I totally loved it!
