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.
Unatoč tome što su kritičari poput Corberta opisivali prisutnu homofobnost u filmu, Sve o Evi je već dugo vremena omiljeni film u homoseksualnim zajednicama, najvjerojatnije zbog svog šašavog prizvuka (djelomično i zbog same Davis) i generalne sofisticiranosti.
