All-time great in Diss

09.10.11

ONE-time Hollywood heart-throb Bette Davis will be gracing one of the biggest screens in Diss this week.

According to critics, Davis was never better than when she played theatrical diva Margo Channing in All About Eve, and it is this film which is being shown in Diss Corn Hall on Wednesday.

In 1962, she became the first person to secure ten Academy Award nominations for acting.

Since then, only four people have equalled or surpassed this figure - Meryl Streep, Katharine Hepburn, Jack Nicholson and Laurence Olivier.

Released in 1950, the 138-minute long All About Eve is a riveting melodrama of backstage backstabbing.

The film even includes Marilyn Monroe in an early comedy role as an aspiring actress.

Joseph Mankiewicz’s script and direction earned the film 14 Oscar nominations and, more recently, an appearance in a top 50 list of US films.

Starting from 8pm, tickets cost £4 for adults, and £2 for students.

Staged at the same venue tomorrow from 8pm will be a performance by local band, The Churchfitters.
