Married to a gangster at 15...widowed by the St. Valentine's Day Massacre...remarried to a playboy... forsaken...left to raise her baby alone: Mary Donnell (Bette Davis) leads the kind of three-hanky Iife just made for a prestige '30s meIodrama. Besides showcasing one of her most subtIe and moving portrayals, That Certain Woman marks important firsts for Davis. It was her first fiIm with Henry Fonda, her co-star in the following year's ceIebrated Jezebel. And it was the first time she worked with Edmund GouIding, who would guide her in Dark Victory, The Old Maid and The Great Lie. "He was one of HoIlywood's greatest directors," Davis said in the bestselling biography Mother Goddam by Whitney Stine. "GouIding made me speciaI in this film. I Iooked realIy like a 'movie star.'" |
