I managed to earn this a few days before its official release date and am cheerful to represent that it finally gives this classic film the treatment it deserves. The video and audio have been restored from orignal source material with noticeable improvements over the previous DVD transfer. The narrate has none of the scratches and dust that were point to on the earlier version, and there is a Dolby stereo option as well as the recent mono. The stereo soundtrack offers greater clarity and depth and there’s no low-level hum or snarl.
Besides offering a major improvement in the quality of the image and sound, the fresh DVD also includes a suited selection of extras. There’s a 25 limited “Backstory” from AMC that is very informative and arresting. There are two separate commentary tracks, one with Celeste Holm, Christopher Mankiewicz (Joseph’s son), and Kenneth Geist, the other with Sam Staggs, author of “All About ‘All About Eve’”. There are
promotional interviews with Davis and Baxter, four newsreels, a trailer, and a restoration comparison.
The restoration comparison is one of the strangest that I’ve seen. Instead of an audio track explaining the problems and processes enthusiastic in the transfer, there’s a series of screens with text printed on them. There then follows a series of comparisons from various versions of the film. There’s nothing really inferior with any of this, but considering the tall amount of time and concern that goes into a restoration of this magnitude, I expected something a bit more dynamic.

For any “All About Eve” fan, venerable or fresh, this is the DVD we have been waiting for, and at five dollars less than the unusual DVD, a valid bargain.
Highly recommended!
Bette Davis made this movie in 1950 when her career was faltering;her last film was the insipid “Beyond the Forest” (now considered a minor camp classic by some.) “All About Eve” is relished by many who hail it as Davis’s all-time greatest performance(which is,in all fairness, arguable) as the forty year customary magnetic actress Margo Channing.Many also feel Davis never looked better than she does here (her costume designer for this was the legendary Edith Head) .The acting is genuinely pleasant and the screenplay is music to the ears;as a consolation for not winning the AA,(it went to Judy Holliday) Davis received the coveted Current York Film Critics Award for Best Actress.George Sanders is peerless as the poison pen critic Addison De Witt;( he won the academy award for best supporting actor.) Thelma Ritter is hilarious as the wise traditional companion of Margo’s who’s seen it all happen before. Celeste Holm gives an absolutely comely performance as Karen Richards(she tells Eve “I’m the lowest fabricate of celebrity” she being the wife of playwright Lloyd Richards(Hugh Marlowe,whose wooden personality suits the role he plays.) Gregory Ratoff’s timing in the “bicarbonate of soda” scene is improbable and Gary Merrill is moral on as the cynical Bill whose age (32) creates insecurity for Margo; she fears she’ll lose him to some young “babe”.The film holds up extremely well,considering it will be 50 years obsolete next year.Marilyn Monroe has an laughable bit as a “Graduate of the Copacabana School of Dramatic Arts” Finally we approach to the gal who played the “exiguous worm” of the title: Anne Baxter.She is astonishingly straightforward and realistic in her interpretation of the louse;if she seems to be a bit on the drab side, it’s only because she’s underplaying to the “Queen Mother”, studying and using her idol as a stepping stone in order to collect her name in electric lights and reign supreme as a Lady of the Theatre; in other words, she’s diabolical as HELL! If you’ve never seen this movie, you’re in for a treat. If you have’nt seen the DVD version do so;the print is crystal certain and adds immensely to the film’s viewing pleasure.This is Mankiewicz’s masterpiece and it won the Oscar for the Best Record of 1950.
