Alles über Eva

Alles über Eva und Boulevard der Dämmerung sind klassische Beispiele dafür, wie sich Hollywood in den 1950er Jahren veränderte, bis es völlig anders geworden war.

The performances are excellent, but the plot is insufficient given the running time. The exact opposite of this review, which is short but grossly inadequate in content. (06.04.2008)

Beautiful and noble dialogue in an inimitable atmosphere in a film that is beautiful to watch even in its calm and quiet moments. Joseph L.

The success of the film doesn't hinge on how perfectly each scene looks or what special effects are used, but simply on how well the actors handle their roles. And Mankiewicz managed to direct them excellently. (21.10.2014)
