Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz

Running Time: 100 minutes (approx)

Production Year: 1950

Rating: U Certificate

Production Country: USA

Filmed in Black and White

Bette Davis stars in Joseph Mankiewicz's classic drama as Margo Channing, acid-tongued star of the stage who takes the young, innocent, mousey Eve Harrington under her wing. But Margo's protégé repays her kindness by quietly betraying her at every turn, until she has climbed the dizzy heights once occupied by the star. George Sanders stars as the acerbic critic Addison De Witt, with Hugh Marlowe as Margo's writer Lloyd Richards and Gary Merrill as her lover Bill Sampson. The film won six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director but Davis and Baxter were both nominated as Best Actress and the split vote meant neither won.
