All About Eve has an ageing Broadway star growing suspicious of an ambitious young fan, The Snake Pit follows a woman institutionalised for mental illness, High Society complicates a socialite’s wedding with her ex-husband’s arrival, and Tom Sawyer takes a mischievous boy along the Mississippi. Come to the Stable and Gentleman’s Agreement round out the list.
