All About Eve/Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte/Virgin Queen

Films include:

All About Eve:

From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) moves relentlessly towards her goal: taking the reins of power from the great actress Margot Channing (Bette Davis). The cunning Eve manoeuvres her way into Margo's Broadway role, becomes a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend (Gary Merrill), her playwright (Hugh Marlowe) and his wife (Celeste Holm). Only the cynical drama critic (Oscar winner George Sanders) sees through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect plan of deceit.

Thelma Ritter and Marilyn Monroe co-star in this acclaimed classic, which won six Academy Awards and received the most nominations (14) in film history.

Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte:

Charlotte Hollis (Bette Davis) has been closeted in her mansion since the grisly murder of her married lover many years earlier. When the state wants to tear down the house to build a highway, the spinster's relatives and friends appear to rally behind her, but each slowly preys on her mind until the gruesome rumours of the last forty years seem to be turning into reality. On hand are cousin Miriam (Olivia de Havilland), Dr. Drew Bayliss (Joseph Cotton), Jewel Mayhew (Mary Astor), and the scariest inhabitant of all, loyal servant Velma (Oscar Nominee Agnes Moorhead).

The Virgin Queen:

Bette Davis dons the crown as Elizabeth I in this swashbuckling historical drama recreating one of England's most fascinating eras and heartbreaking love stories. Featuring Joan Collins in an early screen appearance, The Virgin Queen is the story of an ageing Elizabeth's attraction to the handsome Sir Walter Raleigh (Richard Todd) and her bitter clash with a scheming, younger rival played by Collins. Rich historical detail, lavish costumes, decor and thrilling swordplay complement Davis' dynamic performance.
