More About All About Eve

[a very nice copy, no discernible wear to book, small bookseller's rubber-stamp on front endpaper (Larry Edmunds Cinema Bookshop); the jacket shows just a touch of handling wear, slight wrinkling along top edge of front panel]. "Within these pages, in the course of a colloquy with Gary Carey relevant to the times and circumstances of the writing and directing of ALL ABOUT EVE, Joseph L. Mankiewicz covers -- and uncovers -- a fascinating panorama of his 'twenty-year stretch' (as he puts it) in Hollywood; of the 'tribal customs, taboos and rituals indigenous to its Major Studios and their indentured inhabitants. 'I am never quite sure,' says Mankiewicz, ' whether in commenting upon matters relating to film and film-making, I speak merely as one of the Oldest Whores on the Beat -- or as an Elder Statesman of the Cinema. It is entirely possible that both are the same side of a coin with identical sides.'" Also includes the complete screenplay of the film, which was based on a short story by Mary Orr.
