All About Eve

Heroes & Villains

Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders (1950)

In this Machiavellian story of ambition and betrayal Bette Davis stars as Margo Channing, a highly regarded but aging Broadway star. Anne Baxter plays Eve Harrington, an ambitious young fan who insinuates herself into Channing’s life, ruthlessly threatening Channing’s career and personal relationships as she climbs the greasy pole towards success. Marilyn Monroe co-stars in this acclaimed classic, recipient of the most nominations in film history and winner of six.

St. George’s Cinema comes alive for the 2017 Silver Screen Festival with an edge-of-the-seat theme guaranteed to set the blood racing. Taut plots, dark storylines, tense cliff-hangers and gritty performances abound in this festival of classic film that looks through the cinematic lens at the forces of good and evil, and the fight for right over wrong. Some of cinema’s greatest names in acting are immortalised in eleven award-winning movies from the golden age of Hollywood that see ruthless and spine-chilling villains pitted against courageous heroes and feisty heroines.
