Original sentence: Despite what critics such as Corber have described as the homophobia pervasive in the movie, All About Eve has long been a favored film among gay audiences, likely due to its campy overtones (in part due to the casting of Davis) and its general sophistication.However, notwithstanding those restrictions, Corber cites the film as but one example of a recurrent theme within American film of the homosexual as an emotionally bereft predator.The story of All About Eve originated in an anecdote related to Mary Orr by actress Elisabeth Bergner
Edited sentence: Bette Davis' theatrical 'suffering for her gender" is regarded as cheerfully camp by later generations.Despite what critics such as Corber have described as the homophobia pervasive in the movie, All About Eve has long been a favored film among gay audiences.However, notwithstanding those restrictions, Corber cites the film's villians of Eve and of her erstwhile mentor, Addison de Witt, as but one example of a recurrent theme within American film of the homosexual as an emotionally bereft predator.Its glistening sophistication in truth secretly admires its subtly gay villian of Addison de Witt, who disrupts Eve's plans for marriage with a famed playwright just because he can, and controls her with a sinister, asexual power that emerges only in the film's last moments,  decidedly outside the heterosexual closure the film pretends to celebrate.Profoundly unattached, yet deeply observant of the women around him, De Witt is a character who was coded as gay by the theatrical and film community that could read the signs.The crucial role of the film's narrator, a soulless Broadway fixture named Addison De Witt, won an Oscar for George Sanders,  whose career playing scornful British villians was epitomized in this part.The story of All About Eve originated in an anecdote related to Mary Orr by emigre German actress Elisabeth Bergner.Though an amoral manipulator, he;s clearly the most brilliant of them all, and turns out to be Eve's superior in the end, thus delivering the justice she deserves, of being trapped forever within the cynicism that has allowed both of them to flourish in the theater jungle
