All About Eve (5/5) Movie CLIP - Eve Belongs to Addison (1950) HD

[@victorialadybug1]

Addison just described them both as sociopaths, but in the most delightful and charming way.

[@marce2409]

Incredibly so. When dialogues in cinema were sophisticated and intelligent. Miss those scripts.

[@chakrapeacheslove]

Right!?😊
Thats what made his performance so Brilliant.

[@koretmulder6316]

"That I should want you at all suddenly strikes me as the height of improbability."
Talk about a back-handed compliment.....

[@Brandibb]

George Sanders sure could make anything sound charming and delightful.

[@kevbomevbo3492]

"That I should want you at all suddenly strikes me as the height of improbability". This line and others are so well delivered by Sanders and the movie so well written by Mankiewicz.

[@kdizzle901]

And directed

[@canuckyukyuk9164]

My favourite line from any movie is
"You're too short for that gesture!" I don't think I've ever quoted it correctly, though.

[@jmnny85]

'It was not only a lie but an insult to dead heroes and the women that love them" Dang! Addison reading​ her and turning the page!!!

[@m.e.d.7997]

The dialogue in this movie is as good as "Double Indemnity"

[@David-dz3ig]

If you listen carefully, you can hear George Sander's Russian accent when he becomes enraged with Eve. He could play both (British and Russian)

[@nc693]

That line shows that Addison has some kind of moral compass. He is more self-aware than Eve. They remind me of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler.

[@GoldLeafPress]

“She’s a liahhhh a liahhhh” throws herself dramatically in the most 1900’s way!!!!!!

[@chakrapeacheslove]

Lol😂

[@kadejito1]

One of the extraordinary things about this scene is that Addison, ever the critic, actually critiques her theatrics as hes breaking her down. She runs over to the door and tells him to get out, and hes like "you're too short for that gesture" and closes the door for her. Brilliant 🤣

[@WizardOfHumor1989]

Anne Baxter for some reason reminds me of Catherine zeta Jones in spite of her physical beauty and personality.

[@karllieck9064]

I know. It was great! Lo! Too bad it wasn't a water bed.

[@kellydoub9462]

George Sanders has the type of voice that I could listen to all day. He wasn't a badass, but sophisticated, smart, confident charming and seductive. So much fun to watch especially in this scene.

[@Neurodivergent-j1f]

That's why he brought something to Shere Khan that no one else could, in my opinion. That mix of intelligence inside a body of sheer power made the whole villain more menacing.

[@JavertRA]

In real-life he was a bit of a badass. If you read his (very difficult to get hold of) memoirs, he did quite a lot of interesting things - including winding a pistol duel with a guy in Mexico.

[@m.e.d.7997]

@@JavertRA I believe he sadly committed suicide.

[@JavertRA]

Yes, famously leaving a suicide note that said "I am leaving you because I bored." Sounds like a witty way to go, but poor man was still very broken by the death of his third wife and was beginning to lose his motor functions (he smashed up his piano because he couldn't play it anymore due to shaky hands)

[@jamesmcinnis208]

@@m.e.d.7997 Rarely do people cheerfully commit suicide.

[@roberttrepagnier9149]

No wonder Sanders won an oscar for best supporting actor. He just delivered the ultimate smackdown.

[@leprechaunstud582]

THE best slap ever in a movie. Baxter's shock and then attempt at regaining her dignity is a classic.

[@vaughnjones2785]

"She never proved anything NOT A THING!!!" Lolol her 180 to from cool to crackhead on that line is amazing.

[@noaei]

Vaughn Jones dude the "make her like me!!" is even more insane. As a viewer you almost want to rationalize Eve's motivations -- a simple desire to get famous. At this moment towards the film's end one realizes how pathological it all was, and she becomes truly villianous when exposed by her nasty equal, Addison deWitt.

[@jmnny85]

When she opens the door and says "Get Out"!! and Addison replies "You're too short for that move" (love that line Lol) It became something me and my family members would repeat randomly(and laugh) after watching A&E as a family many years ago- So many great moments in this Classic movie!!

[@dorisdoris4884]

Love that line, too, but it was actually, "You're too short for that gesture." At any rate, this may be my favorite movie of all time. What witty dialog so quickly and adroitly delivered.

[@jmnny85]

Not the exact line,but I like our slightly different wording 🙂

[@tysonb3568]

Haha, nice
Sounds like a fun family night.... :)

[@allysonkho2017]

We still do that too! It's our favorite line in the whole movie

[@WizardOfHumor1989]

Miss Baxter breaks down blubbering like Matt Damon in Goodwill Hunting

[@Luboman411]

I need to see this movie again. It's amongst the smartest, most taut film scripts in the English language. When I first saw it I was utterly delighted. "All About Eve" was my gateway into old black-and-white movies. Before it, I had never bothered. Then I was blown away, and I've been watching movie classics ever since. It's so rare to get this type of good writing in movies these days. Oh well, that's why they call it Hollywood's golden age...

[@chriswinkler284]

This is the kind of Hollywood you can believe in...Where the actors/actresses are SO good you forget they're only role-playing. I REALLY loved the chemistry between Margo and Bill. They were perfect for each other =)

[@ThePsycoDolphin]

There are TONS like this from this period. Don't be put off by the black and white and the old directing and the hammy acting. There are gems like this with screenplays so sharp you can slice yourself on it. See also 39 Steps, M, Citizen Kane, Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard, Brief Encounter, Third Man for more of this kind of thing. In fact the more I watch films the more I find this period to be a greater source of gold than most other periods. The consistency off good if not brilliant films in this era is remarkably high.

The difference between him and the others is that they're either audience members, writers or directors, they live by making performances real. Addison's job is to review performances

[@MelanieAF]

Another good one-"You're too ahort for that gesture" lololol. OTOH, Bette Davis was quite short, 5'3" or 5'2", I believe, and she was a "grande dame" of the theater as Margo Channing. Can anyone see Bette Davis as an ingenue, or soubrette? I know she played ingenues early in her career, but even then you felt, when watching her, that you were just waiting for her to step into the roles she was born to play, and they weren't i genues, by any means!

ADDISON to Eve: Is it possible, even conceivable, that you've confused me with that gang of backward children you play tricks on, that you have the same contempt for me as you have for them? ........Look closely, Eve. It's time you did. I am Addison DeWitt. I am nobody's fool, least of all yours.

[@allys744]

This was the scene that stuck out the most when I first saw this film. So many great lines, especially the insult to dead heroes and their widows. Also, when Addison slapped Eve, I actually shouted since I did not see it coming. So glad to see Eve get her comeuppance. Even though she got what she wanted eventually, it all means nothing if you don’t have a heart or a moral compass like Margot, who actually had friends.

I was lucky enough to track down a copy of his Memoir (which costs a lot on the Internet but which we found in a second hand bookshop for £25). He really could have had a film based around his life, following the bizarre stories he (and other people in later books) told about his life.

[@sueprice3315]

Great scene. But here is something I'm wondering: Eve can be blackmailed by Addison because she doesn't want any of her sordid past to come to light. But when Eve accepts her award, she says she will soon be going to Hollywood to make a film. Wouldn't she be afraid of the fame that becoming a film star would bring? Then all these people from back home who know her sordid secrets would come out of the woodwork.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

And expose her for the fraud that she is. Margo will have a field day with that!

[@ashley_ashbee]

I suspect Addison may have enough connections and power to keep her name out of bad publicity, even for films. It would be yet another reason for her to play his game.
Not only would he have her for blackmail because he knows her past, maybe he could also have her because his power could also protect her from the truth coming out in the media and around town.
Just a theory, anyway.
