Trivia:
33 years later, life imitated art when Anne Baxter stepped into Bette Davis' shoes to replace her on the series "Hotel" (1983) after she fell ill. Ms. Davis never returned to the show.

Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Eve tells her life story in the dressing room, she says "then the war came, and we got married. Eddie was in the air force - and they sent him to the South Pacific." The Air Force, wasn't formed until after the war in 1947. During the war it was called the Army Air Forces.

What a genius Joseph L Manckiewicz was. A literary script that is totally accessible. A melodrama for the thinking man. A film that is as engrossing and entertaining every time you see it. Bette Davis touches all the raw nerves of her mythological career. Anne Baxter never went this far. Thelma Ritter became a sort of icon. Marilyn Monroe gives us a preview of forthcoming attractions as a graduated from the "Copacabana" academy of dramatic arts. Celeste Holm represents us, all of us and George Sanders creates a prototype for a cultured monster that is immediately recognizable. I don't recall another film in which the nature of selfishness is so wittily dissected. A total triumph.
