Joseph Mankiewicz accepts all the Broadway Backstage stereotypes and hones them into a like-new sharpness, a little dulled again before movie's end. Bette Davis is the insecure star and Anne Baxter the ambitious ingénue climbing up her back. Gary Merrill, Davis's real-life husband, plays her husband, and George Sanders and Marilyn Monroe pop up now and then as, respectively, the acerbic critic Addison De Wit and a budding actress. (1950) — Duncan Shepherd
