Brantley on ALL ABOUT EVE

From today's NYT:

Falling in Love Again With ‘All About Eve’

The magical kingdom of Broadway is shuttered, but our critic returned to it — or rather a version of it that opened his eyes, Bette Davis wide, to New York theater.

thanks for posting this...ALL ABOUT EVE is truly one of the greatest movies ever made...and it's fun to read Brantley's dissection...( i worked many years ago in the Curran Theatre, where the theatre scenes were filmed...)

goodlead said: "Why does Brantley say that AAE has been considered homophobic? Apart from the piano player at Margo's party, there isn't a gay character either in the film or mentioned."

The movie is a classic- and maybe one of the best movies ever made- II saw it in London about wo years ago- great cast- but the play absolutely stunk. A bore- and my brother thought so too. I highly do NOT recommend it.
