Title: All About Eve...and Bette, Anne, Celeste, and Marilyn
Product review: This book has a fun-sounding premise and, indeed, it does offer some fun and interesting tidbits about the making of one of Hollywood's wittiest films. This works well until the author starts throwing in suppositions and references to the film and alternative lifestyles. This is when the book bogs down and loses interest. It does, however, start to pick up again when he tells the story of Mary Orr and the real Eve. Altogether, not as much fun as I hoped it would be, but it does have a certain value for students and devotees of classic Hollywood.
