I found the plot of this film simultaneously predictable and meandering. Margo, the aging broadway star is mean-spirited and jealous, while Eve, her young protege is equally unlikeable - her feigned innocence quickly becomes tiresome.
Marilyn Monroe appears as a young actress - she is beautiful and much less voluptuous and overtly sexual than in many films (see Some Like it Hot).
At the end of the movie, when Eve achieves stardom, a younger actress waits on her in the way she once did for Margo. When the young girl tries on Eve's dress, instead of feeling a wonderful comeuppance, it just seems overly contrived.
I enjoyed the stunning costumes and theatrics of this film, but at the same time, I found its characters unlikeable and its plot uninteresting. This is one I probably won't watch again.
