So breath-takingly sharp and tense a story of the theater could hardly be so vital without some fragments of troth In its background.

Dialog that might have been taken down on a tape recorder has boiled out of Author Joseph L. Mankiewicz' typewriter. Under his direction the movie's drama agitates the screen. Substantially, of course, the story could have been set In any theater of life where someone claws to success by a ladder of lies and treachery. To have it played within the world of the stage is doubly to dramatize the masquerade of the little fox in lamb's clothing, Eve Harrington, played with veneered innocence by Anne Baxter.

He is George Sanders, saturnine and urban as the powerful columnist, Addison DeWitt, looking on at a presentation dinner.

The young actress, Eve, is to receive the highly-regarded Sarah Siddons award. As DeWitt's reflections are heard, the camera roves the banquet room.

When Vivien Leigh was dragged off to a sanitarium in a scene for "Streetcar," it happened of a morning. AND NO lunch was eaten by any of the crew who saw the performance. Vivien's acting was so convincing, it killed their appetites. Richard Gale, who plays Flora Robson's son in "Black Chiffon," is also in "The Miniver Story," with Greer Garson. He was discovered by Leslie Howard's sister, Irene, who is head of talent at Metro's London studio.
