In the Bronx, a Lenape gallery director discovers strange graffiti scattered throughout the city, so beautiful and powerful that it's as if the paint is literally calling to her.

Film | All About Eve (1950): Classic Drama Film with Bette Davis & Marylin Monroe


An aspiring actress feigns humility and naivete to connive her way under the wing of a veteran Broadway star. She manipulates those in the star's circle in hopes of cheating her way to the top. Based on the short story "The Wisdom of Eve" by Mary Orr. Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz Cast: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe, Thelma Ritter, Marilyn Monroe Bette Davis was an American actress of film, television, and theater. She's considered one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history, often playing unsympathetic, sardonic characters, and her performances in a range of film genres, although her greatest successes were her roles in romantic dramas. Over the course of her career, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress twice, was the first person to accrue ten Academy Award nominations (and one write-in) for acting, and was the first woman to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. In 1999, Davis was placed second on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema. Marilyn Monroe was an American actress and model, often considered the face of Hollywood's Golden Age. She was often cast as comic "blonde bombshell" character roles. During her lifetime, her films grossed $200 million (~$2 billion in 2025). She won many awards, including a Golden Globe, and received even more nominations.
