The Wisdom of Eve

Adapted from the story by Marry Orr, upon which the hit film, All About Eve (Best Picture, 1950) and the hit musical Applause were based.  An engrossing and revealing "inside" sotry of life in New York's theatre world, told in terms of an unscrupulous ingénue's rise to Broardway stardom.  Eve's "wisdom" begins to reveal itself in earnest, her true character emerging as she lies, cheats, and blackmails her way to Broadway fame, leaving the wreckage of her friend's trust behind her.
