I'm still not an "All About Eve" fanatic. It seems smug and overly aware of its own wit. Also I'd rate "Strangers on a Train" higher, despite Ruth Roman's wooden performance. The murder scene is fantastic. Glad you found room for "Show Boat." It's a truncated version of the play and typical of MGM's splashiness. But Ava Gardner never looked better.
