The Top Classic Movies From The Last Century

All About Eve (1950)

Hollywood is rampant in their ageism, that's no secret. It was obvious even in the '50s. All About Eve follows the story of a 40-year-old actress (Bette Davis) as her career becomes threatened by a new, younger actress named Eve (Marilyn Monroe). Watching this film in 2021 offers a great insight into what Hollywood was like back in the day and how it hasn't truly changed for the better.
