From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington moves relentlessly towards her goal: taking the reins of power from the great actress Margo Channing. The cunning Eve maneuvers her way into Margo's Broadway role, becomes a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend, her playwright and his wife. Only the cynical drama critics see through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit.

Success
A calculating actress works her way to the top in this movie. It's up to the viewer to decide if her motivation and means to succeed are backstabbing and manipulative, or if she is clever, ambitious, and courageous. Is Eve admirable and hardworking? Or is she vindictive and sociopathic? Another way to look at the film is as an examination of male attitudes regarding female success. Only Margo (whose star was fading before meeting Eve) and male film critics find Eve to be devious. Is this undercurrent of sexism the true point of the film?
