This is a movie I’d seen referenced a million times but never bothered to see. What a mistake- this thing is a hoot and a half! Bette Davis is made of fire and acid.

Why would you put this guy on the same corner as Gregory Peck? Sure, the guy was a big producer and director, but a much less famous actor than Peck. In All About Eve he plays something he played a lot: a producer. Big stretch, buddy!

Okay, this fake poster made me chuckle.

A poster for All About Eve mimicking the poster for What About Bob?.
Based on another movie from the “<word> About <3 letter name>” title collection.
