All About Eve Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Stars: Bette Davis, Ann Baxter, George Sanders. Produced by Twentieth Century-Fox, 1950. 133 mins. Black and White. Released by Twentieth Century-Fox Video. J o s e p h L. M a n k ie w ic z ’ s w itty , sophisticated com edy about Broadway backstage doings remains one of the brightest film s of its period. Released in 1950, the film gathered together a to p ­ line cast and gave them dialogue and characters that seem to have im proved with age. All About Eve concerns the effect an am bitious young actress has on those around her. As these include an ageing Broadway star, a young director, a cynical critic, a dedicated playwright and his non-professional wife, the way is wide open for bitchy fun and games, and Mankiewicz never misses a trick. G reat p e rfo rm a n c e s fro m Bette Davis, Anne Baxter (as Eve), Celeste H olm , T h e lm a R itte r and G e o rg e Sanders as a definitive dram a critic (he won a well-deserved Oscar). Marilyn M onroe plays a small, but telling role. Excellent black and white re prod uc­ tion and first-class sound makes this a must for the collector.

All that Jazz Director: Bob Fosse. Stars: Roy Scheider, Jessica Lange, Ann Reinking. Produced by Twentieth Century-Fox, 1979. 117 mins. Color. Released by Twentieth Century-Fox Video. One of the most successful attempts at musical biography ever made for cinema. Hamm ered by some critics w ho th in k it s e lf-in d u lg e n t, s e lf­ congratulatory and pretentious, All That Jazz stru c k this re vie w er as im a g in a tiv e , d y n a m ic and h ig h ly original. Bob Fosse may have used his own life as a basis for Joe Gideon, and if so, he is m ore critical of his own fail­ ings than m ost of us. The musical has sequences that shock, dazzle, stimulate, but rarely bore. The spectacularly staged and edited open-heart surgery sequence becomes a song and dance routine full of m ordant wit. There are splendid per­ form ances from all, especially Roy S cheider as Joe Gideon. Color ranges from excellent to fair, sound first-class. Ivan Hutchinson
