Nope, 0 points awarded.

[Mithrandir]

Nope, 0 points awarded.

How many points did "All About Eve" get?

[Gregg]

Nope, 0 points awarded.

Nominated for Best Effects-Special Effects Oscar. So that is at least 1 point.

Many cool things are attached to this movie.

Leonard Nimoy has a small, uncredited part as a U.S. Army Staff Sergeant in the communications room.

Fess Parker got his Davy Crockett role as a result of a small part in this film.

John Wayne recommended James Arness for his role as Matt Dillon after seeing this movie.

Van Morrison's band was named after the movie.

It is reported that it was Warner Bros highest grossing film that year, but another report shows it came in 3rd.

100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

If you haven't seen it, it is really fun.

How many points did "All About Eve" get?

I was just kidding - "points" was just my construct that no one else was paying attention to so I was arbitrarily removing them from your pick just to be a contrarian.
