All About Eve (1950)
Well mostly about Eve
Genre: Drama
Starring: Bette Davis (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? • Now, Voyager), Anne Baxter (The Magnificent Ambersons • The Ten Commandments)
Directed By: Joseph L. Mankiewicz (The Ghost and Mrs. Muir • Cleopatra)
Overview: As Eve accepts her best actress award to applause at a ceremony, Karen and Margo are the only two who do not join in the clapping. This is the tale of Margo, a superstar of the theatre, but really, the story is all about Eve.
Melodrama:work (as a movie or play) characterized by extravagant theatricality and by the predominance of plot and physical action over characterization.
Margo has a carpet bombing approach to aggression...

Overall Rating: 76% (All About The Characters)
Aftertaste:
As a film fanatic and critic, I have a wonderful capacity, dare I say a wonderful callous, for tales outside of my chosen realm of cinema. All About Eve is one such story that is wonderfully acted and brilliantly written, but that overall didn't appeal to me 'much more than that'.
Yep, I'm entirely that transparent. Masterpieces are bad. Sorry, I didn't realize I had to have the same tastes as you. I'll do better next time so as not to offend.
Plot is the story itself, script is how it's written / conveyed.
P.S. I don't actually believe in a 'Perfect' 10. I've never given a film a 100% ever.
Well your tastes are obvious now. Mindless Nazi-slaying gets a perfect 10 while this brilliantly written masterpiece gets a 7. And, praytell, what exactly is the difference between Scipt and Plot in your book?
