Charlotte Vale's (Bette Davis) coming out party
Review date: 2008-08-25 Rating: 10 out of 10
Over all this reminded me of a one liner in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" (1966) where Hero says," For us there will never be happiness." Philia replies," We must learn to be happy without it."
This is not as dark as "Dark Victory" (1939). But it is just as intense. And there is no way that you will get me to mention ""Don't ask for the moon--we have the stars" in this review. What makes the movie so intriguing is that you can recognize the characters in real life. I think one of the shockers for me was when Charlotte Vale was forced to remove her eye glasses to find she did not need them. I tried it my self and could not see a thing. Of course by this time most viewers have their glasses off by this time and tissues on their eyes.
See Paul Henreid just as intense as Henry in "Between Two Worlds (1944)"

Enigmatic.

Whilst some of her work may be categorised as, 'vehicles', Bette Davis' portrayal of Charlotte Vale in Now Voyager must have been a challenging and brave role to take on. A film which redefines what a hero can be breaks the mould in many ways. Some of the performances, a little cliched and more appropriate for a stage performance.
But these were the early days of movies and certainly early days for movies of this genre.
Great, great movie.
