[pro-bassoonist]

Joseph L. Mankiewicz's All About Eve (1950) has received a preliminary release date for the Gallic markets: February 16. Winner of the Special Jury Prize and Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, as well six Oscars awards, including Best Picture.

Synopsis:

Aspiring actress Eve Harrington maneuvers her way into the lives of Broadway star Margo Channing, playwright Lloyd Richards and director Bill Sampson. This classic story of ambition and betrayal has become part of American folklore. Bette Davis claims to have based her character on the persona of film actress Talullah Bankhead. Davis' line "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night" is legendary, but, in fact, all of the film's dialog sparkles with equal brilliance.
