Title: Title Sums It All Up
Product review: Sam Staggs does indeed cover All About "All About Eve". This is book is directly aimed at only those fans who cannot get enough and will seem too much for the casual fans (if such creatures exist) of the movie All About Eve. In other words, much of this book seems aimed at gay men who wallow in the high artistic camp of what All About Eve has become. In this respect, it is quite a thorough joy, as the history of the true story behind the movie is presented, the original short story, and then into the heart of the book, the filming of the movie (Celeste Holm comes in for perhaps too hard a time because of the author's personal feelings towards her and her attitude toward his book. Her actual celluloid performance was perfect.) The remainder of the book follows the growing legend of the film and the creation of the musical, Applause, based on it. It is a breezy, fun read without a single bumpy night in sight.
