Or if they did try it would be a critical flop and a box-office bomb. You have to put 2 and 2 together alot, always keep your ears perked, and admire the superb acting and brilliant screenplay, and to think this was about 60 years back and it's still accurate: everybody wants the attention directed towards themselves. Also note: they made an amazing movie without nudity, explicit lanugage or graphic violence.

What Parents Need to Know
About All About Eve
Parents need to know that this classic showbiz drama has some powerful messages about ambition and betrayal. Eve manipulates others to get what she wants and succeed, and other characters initially believe her. There's also some social drinking representative of movies of the era.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what actions are appropriate to realize ambition. Compare it to movies like Rudy, also about the achievement of a dream. It's not the dream that differs here as much as how it's achieved. It might be fun for kids to talk about the theater and how it differs from movies. Take them to a local production, or get a book of plays for children from the library and help them produce one.

Funny and Witty Drama...
ALL ABOUT EVE is a wonderful film. It is well-written, witty, funny, and marvelously acted. And, it's perfect for kids who like great movies, since there's very little objectionable content. No sex, language, or violence, just a lot of smoking.

Intriguing Plot
All About Eve is an interesting movie about an aging star,Margo, whose life is idolized by a young admirer. The admirer soon becomes her assistant, seemingly innocent and naive. However, little does she know that her new assistant has alterior motives, namely the desire to become Margo, spinning a tale of cunning ambition. Bette Davis gives a legendary performance as the frustrated Margo Channing, one of her finest. I recommend this film for classic movie lovers, like myself, however, some kids may find it a little dull. Four stars out of five.
