Quotes from the Movie
|
| : |
"Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night."--Margo Channing (Bette Davis).
"That's all television is, dear--just auditions."--Addison DeWitt (George Sanders) to Miss Casswell (Marilyn Monroe)
"That I should want you at all suddenly strikes me as the height of improbability... you're an improbable person, Eve, but so am I. We have that in common. Also a contempt for humanity, an inability to love or be loved, insatiable ambition--and talent. We deserve each other." --DeWitt to Eve (Anne Baxter)
"The bed looks like a dead animal act."--Birdie (Thelma Ritter)
"What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end!"--Birdie
"I have lived in the theater as a Trappist monk lives in his faith. In it I toil not, nor do I spin. I am a critic and a commentator. I am essential to the theater--as ants to a picnic, as the boll weevil to a cotton field."--DeWitt
"Everybody has a heart--except for some people."--Channing |

The role of aging stage star Margo Channing is considered by many to be the best of Bette Davis's career, as Davis reveals and conceals Margo's vulnerabilities with a skill seldom seen onscreen. Anne Baxter is also marvelous as the subtle Eve, whose glowing enthusiasm masks a cold, calculated ambition. Both actresses garnered Best Actress Oscar nominations, and the film in its entirety took 14 nominations, winning seven of them, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. George Sanders was awarded Best Su... |
