I only watched this one because it was said to be an inspiration (ripped-off) for the underrated Showgirls, and it certainly is. So much of the story crept through (young and ambitious blood taking over from the established; lawyers of the established getting involved; much conniving involved in the process; etc). Luckily I did enjoy this one throughout, which is quite a rare thing for a movie so old. But, the movie is waaay overrated. WTF!
pros
- gorgeous women: Marilyn Monroe playing a small part of a young woman trying to make it as an actor and Bette Davis playing the established actor
- nice dialogue here and there
cons
- shitty (unconvincing) performance by the woman playing the title character, Eve
- another shitty performance by the woman who introduces Eve to the established
- stagey direction, as is common with movies this old; and we are supposed to take these characters seriously?
