Writer-director Joseph L. Mankiewicz's

sharp script anchors this story about New York City theater life, with Bette Davis

playing an aging Broadway diva who employs a starstruck fan (Anne Baxter)

as her assistant, only to learn the woman is a conniving upstart. The now-classic All About Eve won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director (Mankiewicz), Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (George Sanders).
