Widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir`s masterpiece THE RULES OF THE GAME is a devastating satire of the pre-WWII French aristocracy. Starring Marcel Dalio as wealthy landowner Marquis Robert de la Chesnaye, it charts the shifting relationships among the guests at a weekend hunting party on his vast estate. The guest list includes Robert`s mistress Genevieve (Mila Parely), from whom he`s trying to part, and Andre Jurieu (Roland Toutain), a famed aviator who is in love with Robert`s wife, Christine (Nora Gregor). As they begin a dizzy dance of escape and pursuit, their games are observed and echoed by the servants below the stairs. The gamekeeper Schumacher (Gaston Modot) is trying to keep the poacher, Marceau (Julien Carette), from poaching on his pretty wife, Lisette (Paulette Dubost), unaware that his boss also has his eye on her. The passionate Jurieu, the only guest incapable of the appropriate hypocrisy, finds Christine in an embrace with a random lover (Pierre Nay), and the startled woman decides to leave Robert and go away with the aviator. Renoir`s subtle deployment of long tracking shots in multiplanar deep focus reveals the relations of both groups and individuals as he dismantles the rituals of hypocrisy that make this society run smoothly.

Given that she throws tantrums, gets intoxicated, and pushes people away when she needs them the most, its a wonder New York theater star Margo Channing has any true friends. But when Eve, Margos young and innocent-seeming protigie, schemes to gain both the affection of Margos friends and a starring role originally written for Margo, the actress discovers just who is in her corner--and who is not. Released in 1950, ALL ABOUT EVEs power radiates undimmed through the years. The role of aging stage star Margo Channing is considered by many to be the best of Bette Daviss career, as Davis reveals and conceals Margos vulnerabilities with a skill seldom seen onscreen. Anne Baxter is also marvelous as the subtle Eve, whose glowing enthusiasm masks a cold, calculated ambition. Both actresses garnered Best Actress Oscar nominations, and the film in its entirety took 14 nominations, winning seven of them, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. George Sanders was awarded Best Supporting Actor for his biting portrayal of potent, nasty theater critic Addison DeWitt. Consistently listed among the best films of all time, director-writer Joseph L. Mankiewicz`s ALL ABOUT EVE shouldnt be missed; the acting, writing, and directing are unequivocally brilliant.
