I'm tempted to vote for Los Olvidados .

My instinctive vote would be Kurosawa or Bunuel but All About Eve is perfect so

I couldn't tell whether she's a bad actress or Wilder directed her badly. It's possible no one could say those lines.

I mean, William Holden's dialogue takes a hit in those scenes too imo.

still want to watch Gun Crazy, Night and the City, Los Olvidados, Un Chant D’Amour, Outrage, Stars in My Crown, Wagon Master, La Ronde
― Dan S, Saturday, 11 April 2020 02:45 (four years ago) link
also the two Rossellini films
― Dan S, Saturday, 11 April 2020 02:47 (four years ago) link
La Ronde and Night and the City both rock. You can catch the latter quite frequently TCM.
