When Margo, an aging Broadway star, meets Eve, a young fan with a tragic background, she offers her a job. Eve takes the position and much more when she inserts herself into Margo’s life. Monroe features as another aspiring actress trying to get ahead and although she only graces two scenes, she pulls focus and makes them count – radiating her character’s ambition and superficiality.

The screening of All About Eve on Sunday 5 July will be introduced by film and cultural events programmer Caroline Cassin.
