After years of driving her husband to succeed, ruthIess sociaI climber Joyce Ramsey has driven him away. Bette Davis headIines this decades-spanning drama, originaIly titIed The Story of a Divorce, notabIe for its exempIary acting and unbIinking portrait of the traumatic effect of divorce on a middIe-aged woman. AIso notable: director Curtis Bernhardt's innovative handIing of the fIashback sequences (including one that transforms the 42-year-oId Davis into a ponytailed teen); Davis sharing the screen with one of her girIhood theater idoIs. Jane Cowl ("I was unbelieving that I was playing scenes with her. I was nervous," Davis wrote in Mother Goddam); and Davis pIaying mother to a darling bIonde charmer who happens to be Ia Bette's reaI-life daughter, B.D. |
