All About Eve
(1950)
Imagine my surprise to discover that my buddy April, in town for interviews with the Yale and Brown drama schools, thus obviously a devotee of the thay-a-tr, had never seen this film. Long story short, I bullied her into watching it, with an opt-out clause after 15 minutes. She loved it, we watched the first hour, then retired in anticipation of a blizzard adventure next day, got home next day from said b.a., and watched the rest (ahead of the Illini game).
So regaling my thay-a-tr devotee daughter with the stunning news that her protégée had never seen this classic, I was gobsmacked to discover that . . . oh, anyone who's ever seen a third-rate comedy of errors can guess how this sentence ends.
Anyway, I have nothing to say about the film, but I'm hoping April will check in with a comment. And Jen too, once she's actually seen it.
