I have never seen Bette Davis in anything before. I have to say what a spirited actress. I definitely will check her out in more movies. Now I understand the all praise of her that I've heard about over the years.
Anne Baxter did a excellent job of playing Eve with a subtle slow arch.
As for the movie, all the actors were excellent. I can't find a negative thing to say. It uses flashbacks to tell the story. The plot isn't really a great epic thing. It's about a younger apparently nice women that insinuates herself into an older actress' life and manipulates people to get what she wants, stepping all over them. But what makes it special is that it's like a character study in motion. You see the characters develop as the story develops until it comes full circle right back to the beginning, just before the flashbacks start. The conclusions you drew about the characters at the beginning will be significantly changed by the end.
The ending has irony at play, and leaves the viewer satisfied that karmic payback is definitely at work. 10/10
