Director Zack Snyder takes a far, far older tale and reconnects us to it in a way that reminds us of the power of myth and should, if approached with a wary, knowing eye, remind us how that power has always been used to serve other, less entertaining purposes as well. By MaryAnn Johanson.

The Flick Filosopher (MaryAnn Johanson) had two good excuses to see "All About Eve": it won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1950, and it is on the American Film Institute's Top 100 list. Review recommends seeing the film more than once.

MaryAnn Johanson's review: "There's not really much of a plot, and the characters are little more than cardboard, but the whole point of this movie is to linger with Fogg and Passepartout as they drink in the beautiful countryside and exotic cities as they float languorously by."

MaryAnn Johanson's review: "The Broadway Melody's snarky, wiseacre humor and effervescent charm save it from being completely dated, though the dance production numbers...may try your patience."
