All About Eve... a shameless request for homework help.

I have an essay due on monday about All About Eve, and for my thesis I decided to show how youth tries to usurp their elders - how young Eve Harrington tries to worm her way into replacing Margo Channing, how all the older men seem to go for the younger women (Margo's relationship is seen as almost taboo), and so on.

I have Sam Staggs' book All About All About Eve but I'm looking for more critical looks at the film itself, not so much behind-the-scenes stories. Articles, essays, other books of note - I'm all ears.

Any help would be appreciated!

Get the DVD, there's a great commentary track on it!

Fasten your seatbelts, this is going to be a bumpy essay to write.

... by the aforementioned Sam Staggs! He pretty much reads highlights of his book.

As for the other one, with Holm and Manky's biographer, I'm trying to avoid too much backstage gossip or biography filler. Critical essays, that sort of thing.
