The eyes of Betty Davis.

Kelli 2021-11-13 08:01:22

This is a famous old song, Betty Davis, the actress who plays Margot in this film.

She is talented, arrogant and self-willed... sometimes disgusting, sometimes pitiful, so full of personality and full of charm.

This is also a portrayal of Davis in real life. Maverick is not the secret to the success of the real beauty star Davis. In the film, her performance is free and easy, her gestures are so dramatic, but so real and natural. ——These are the stars the film and television industry needs in this rubbish place. They live in writers' movies, float on the tip of film critics, and revel in their own performances.

Eva is the same. Her life is full of deceit and acting. Her pain is no less than Margot, or more than Margot. Everything about Eva, everything about Margo, even everything about the little star who betrays the hue played by Marilyn Monroe... everything

about the film and television industry.

All About Eve quotes

  • Lloyd Richards: Karen, let me tell you about Eve. She's got everything - a born actress. Sensitive, understanding, young, exciting, vibrant...

    Karen: Don't run out of adjectives, dear.

  • Karen: [narrating] Newton, they say, thought of gravity by getting hit on the head by an apple. And the man who invented the steam-engine, he was watching a teakettle. But not me. My big idea came to me just sitting on a couch. That boot in the rear to Margo. Heaven knows, she had one coming. From me, from Lloyd, from Eve, Bill, Max and so on. We'd all felt those size fives of hers often enough. But how? The answer was buzzing around me like a fly. I had it. But I let it go. Screaming and calling names is one thing, but this could mean...

    Karen: [continues] Why not? "Why," I said to myself, "not?" It would all seem perfectly legitimate. And only two people in the world would know. Also, the boot would land where it would do the most good for all concerned. After all, it was no more than a harmless joke which Margo herself would be the first to enjoy. And no reason why she shouldn't be told about it... in time.

    Karen: [on the phone, calling Eve to let her in on her little "joke"] Hello. Will you please call Miss Eve Harrington to the phone?
