眼光毒辣又极具创造力的导演伊沃·凡·霍夫（NT Live《桥头风景》、《海达·高布乐》《迷情记》）这一次将视线投向了半个多世纪前，横扫奥斯卡最佳影片、最佳导演等六项大奖的经典黑白片《彗星美人》！ 一直以来都被光环笼罩的舞台女星玛戈，在密友的介绍下认识了她的头号粉丝、年轻漂亮又身世悲苦的伊芙，并将她留在身边工作。玛戈的骄傲中只有怀疑没有防备，直到大幕拉开，伊芙作为替角登台，一个充满嫉妒与野心的世界就此呈现…… 在此剧中吉莲·安德森（《X档案》）接过贝蒂·戴维斯的衣钵“开撕”莉莉·詹姆斯，演技获得一片赞誉。名利场中人性之私，各自肚肠，其他角色也都被演绎得活灵活现。忠实合作者杨·维斯维尔德一改往日风格，舞台设计十分惊艳；两获水星奖的女唱作人PJ Harvey操刀音乐，亦为改编增色不少。《每日邮报》、《金融时报》、《独立报》、《Time Out》齐齐为制作打出四星好评！
