Bette Davis

Bette Davis, Anne Baxter

Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 1995

A Great Package
The extras alone are worth the price of the set. First, the movie is 2-1/4 hrs. long, and never seems to drag. Second there are two feature-length commentaries (the 2nd is the superior). Then there's the 2nd disk with wonderful insights into the people involved in the ...

All This & Heaven Too

Bette Davis, Charles Boyer

MGM (Warner), 1998

Superb!!
I am 26 yrs old and wasn't even thought of when this movie was made, but I love it. Betty Davis was so demure in this film. I believe that all black&white movie lovers should have this in their collection. I missed the full showing on TCM about 3 months ago and was ...

A Stolen Life (1946)

Bette Davis, Glenn Ford

MGM/UA Home Video, 1998

good movie
I love Bette Davis so of course I loved this movie. She plays twins which she has done more that once. And if you like Carol Burnette she did a take off of this movie on her show & it was so funny. Another great Bette Davis movie

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Bette Davis, Joan Crawford

Warner Home Video, 2000

Misery
I'm glad this was in black and white because on the back of the dvd case it showed pictures from the movie in colour. I'm not sure if I would want to see Bette Davis's face in colour because she is butt-ugly in this. Joan Crawford looked kind of "ill" in this movie, ...

In This Our Life

Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland

MGM (Warner), 1998

Bette Davis: the trashier, the better
Bette Davis plays another scum-of-the-earth character who this time steals her sister's (Olivia de Haviland's) doctor husband (played by Dennis Morgan), drives him to commit suicide, then tries to steal de Haviland's new male companion (George Brent), who also happens ...

The Dark Secret of Harvest Home

Bette Davis, David Ackroyd

Universal Studios, 1998

Dark Secret of Harvest Home
This is by far one of the best horror movies, of all time. Mainly because it could happen. I can't believe it was never remastered as so many other movies have been. Who do we talk to, to get this done?

Juarez

Paul Muni, Bette Davis

MGM (Warner), 1998

A Great Film
This hollywood classic stays pretty close to the history for a change. In clear B&W this film has all the little touches of 1930s productions, but considering its time period it is pretty heavy as far as the history is concerned. This is no light weight "Gone With ...

Corn Is Green (1945)

Bette Davis, Nigel Bruce

MGM (Warner), 1998

A COMPELLING DRAMA WITH A GIFTED CAST...
This is a great, old style drama which sees Bette Davis in the role of L.C. Moffat, an English school marm who has inherited a house in Wales. Highly educated for her time, Ms. Moffat, moved by the squalor, poverty and ignorance of an illiterate people, takes pains to ...

Dark Victory (1939)

Bette Davis, George Brent

Warner Home Video, 2000

Moving
Wonderful, moving film. Not Bogie's best, but still decent. One of Davis' best performances.

Where Love Has Gone

Susan Hayward, Bette Davis

Paramount, 1998

"WHEN YOU'RE DYING FROM THIRST, YOU'LL DRINK FROM A MUDHOLE!" snorts Hayward in this laugh-a-minute potboiler
"Somewhere along the line," Bette Davis says with a sniff of disdain, "the world has lost all its standards and taste." SHE should talk, considering that she's in the movie version of Harold Robbins trashy rehash of the scandal that erupted when Lana Turner's teenage ...

Great Lie (B&W)

Bette Davis, George Brent

MGM (Warner), 1998

An intriguing story!
If not for the impressive performances of these two outstanding actresses, the refulgent beauty of Mary Astor and the enigmatic look of Bette Davis, the movie could have been forgotten for the great audiences. But both of them assumed the compromise and shone with ...

The Man Who Came to Dinner

Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan

MGM (Warner), 1995

Woolley's Career Breakthrough
Monty Woolley led the kind of life that could have been filmed as fascinating biography. Born into New York wealth, he was the silver-spooned son of the owner of Manhattan's Bristol Hotel. When it came time for Woolley to attend college it was no surprise that he ...

Beyond the Forest

Bette Davis, Joseph Cotten

MGM (Warner), 1998

Superior over-the-top Bette performance with gusto!!
I just bought the VHS of this very recently, not having seen it for at least 25 years. Despite the film having below par production values, it is more than made up for by Davis palying her part to the hilt! It has all the trademarks of an entertaining Bette movie; ...

Deception

Bette Davis, Paul Henreid

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

I adore Claude Rains
The quintessential Rains dominates this flick about a pianist and a cellist (yes, Henreid plays a CELLIST, not a violinist, as so many reviewers here seem to think) who really don't stand a chance up against Rains's wicked wit. There is a truly diabolical scene in ...

Thank Your Lucky Stars

Humphrey Bogart, Eddie Cantor

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

Thank Your Lucky Stars
When Eddie Cantor gets involved in setting up a celebrity wartime revue for troops at home and abroad, the hilarious results are spectacular. See the Warner Brothers roster of all-star talent as you've never seen them before! Errol Flynn performing "That's What You ...
