"Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy night." I stayed up way too late last night watching All About Eve.
Conclusion: Eve Harrington was the original Tom Ripley. (Also, Bette Davis was a serious force to be reckoned with. And Marilyn Monroe was such a STAR.)
Edith Head's gorgeous costumes — the film won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design, along with five others — are reason enough to watch the classic film, although you should probably just watch it for the same reasons you might watch Casablanca, Citizen Kane or Singin' in the Rain, too. It's good.)
I say this every year: I really need to go to a ball.
