The classic Saturday screening this weekend at the Roe Valley Arts Centre is All About Eve. A ruthlessly ambitious ingenue, Eve (Anne Baxter), insinuates herself in to the company of an established but aging stage actress Margo (Bette Davis) and her circle of theatre friends. Starring Davis and Baxter in what might be their best roles, this is a wonderful, glamorous classic film with a scintillating script including the famous line “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night”. Dress-up period glad rags in honour of the film welcome!
