Description

"Fasten your seatbelts—it's going to be a bumpy night."

This month's Sunday Afternoon Classics selection celebrates Oscar month and true showbiz drama!

Jealousy, manipulation, and betrayal unfold in this tour de force drama when Broadway star Margo Channing (Bette Davis) is introduced to a young and seemingly charming fan, Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter).

Unaware that the young woman is scheming to take over her career and romantic life, Margo offers Eve work as her live-in assistant. Receiving access to all spheres of the celebrated actress’s life, Eve becomes Margo’s understudy in the most sinister of ways.

Joseph Mankiewicz’s endlessly clever and witty script is at the heart of this classic film, which won six Academy Awards and remains  the most deliciously entertaining film ever made about the ruthlessness of show business.
