Friday through Monday
Bette Davis is magnificent as Margo Channing, a great Broadway star perhaps just beyond the peak of her career, who is stalked by a cunningly obsequious younger actress Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) under the eye of caustic drama critic Addison DeWitt—played to malicious perfection by George Sanders.
The film received 14 Oscar nominations (back when they made real movies). It won 6, including Best Picture.
With Bette Davis, George Sanders, Anne Baxter, Celeste Holm, Thelma Ritter, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe, Gregory Ratoff, Marilyn Monroe.
