    watched a Bette Davis film I didn't love and this one is no different. She's simply brilliant in everything she does...on a mission to see all of her films. "The Letter" is next with about 7 to go.
  • i <3 this movie!

    I don't usually get emotional from this kind of stuff, but I actually started tearing up from this movie. This movie is wonderful. I fell in love with Bette Davis's character. Make sure you have some tissue. They definetly don't make movies like this anymore, movies just based on talent.
  • One of Bette's Best

    This film is a staple if you love old movies. Bette Davis plays a slightly spoiled rich girl with a brain tumor. The film follows her through many stages of the disease--from denial, to anger, to acceptance and grace. Along the road, she finds true love and her soul. This is definitely a classic for all times.
  • Very Moving and So True!

    If you just watch it to get the message of the movie, it is so worth it. Flawless acting, and a wonderful plot. It is a very moving picture that can't be overlooked!
