Bring on the tough stuff. There’s not just one right answer.
- Why is the title All About Eve, when it's really more about Margo Channing?
- Why is All About Eve told mostly in flashback?
- We get to hear Karen and Addison in voice-over, but we only briefly hear Margo, and we never hear Eve even though her behavior drives the plot. Why are certain characters given prominence over others?
- In what ways is All About Eve a classic drama? Does it ever explore outside of the box? What film techniques used in All About Eve are still used today? What's changed?
- How has society changed since All About Eve? Do women still face the same issues today, regarding age, beauty, etc.?
- Speaking of women's issues, none of the women in Eve won an Academy Award, but George Sanders (Addison) did. What gives?
- What modern movies does All About Eve remind you of? What's Eve's influence on these films?
