"All About Eve"

I noticed that too, even though there were a few variations. All they really needed was some twenty year old film student following Jamie around at the end.

Yeah, you're right up to a point.

Yes but AAE is a much better movie.

Let us change the course of history, again.

I haven't read Ibsen, but does "All About Eve follow the The Master Builder?

There's also some Wonder Boys in the characters and plot.

Creative artist who can't make decisions about his current project, which has grown to unmanageably mammoth proportions, and can't commit to the idea of having a baby. Resolution and redemption come when he commits to his woman and his baby.

Also, both characters hang out with a younger artist in the same field who is a big liar (although the resemblance is superficial, since James in Wonder Boys is so much more benign than Jamie turns out to be in this.

The big difference I found is that Wonder Boys is great and While We're Young is awful.
