So one thing I love just as much as soap operas is old Hollywood glamour. All About Eve is one of my favorite old black and white movies. I love the fashion, the way people spoke and the glamour! Oh, so much glamour! When I saw this edit on @NRockwellbaby’s Twitter account I was immediately drawn to it. First and foremost the striking similarity of the poses between the on-screen couples are amazing. I wasn’t the only one who thought so:
Omg, this is amazing! The similarities are scary, in a good way. Jason and Gina are legends! ?

Fun Fact: Apparently Bogie and Bacall’s relationship started out as an illicit affair the way Phyllis and Billy’s did.
While filming To Have and Have Not, Humphrey Bogart became enchanted with Lauren Bacall. This became apparent, according to Bacall, about three weeks into the shooting of the picture. Immediately it presented problems, because Bogart was still married to Mayo Methot, who was as watchful and as jealous as ever. A few weeks earlier, when he was congratulating Bacall on her screen test (which consisted of the famous ‘If you want me, just whistle’ scene), his prescient comment had been ‘We’ll have a lot of fun together,’ but for a while it seemed as if fun was the last thing on their agenda: they would drive their cars to secluded residential streets and sit holding hands and talking, or write each other long, ardent, frustrated letters. And when shooting on To Have and Have Not was over, they had no further excuse for being together. Fortunately fate was quick to step in, in the kindly guise of Howard Hawks and Warners executives, who were so pleased with the on-screen chemistry between the two stars that they decided to waste no time before pairing them again. In October 1944 they began filming their second film The Big Sleep where they resumed their affair with a vengeance.
