A superlative, juicy mother-daughter melodrama with top notch performance from Bette Davis, at the top of her form, and the rest of the cast.
Lots of appeal for highly romantic teens.
If you can resist Bette Davis in fat suit, hideous dress, and monobrow, you're not as gay as you think you are. I guess I kind of liked it.
It's all far more complicated than it needs to be, but then again, what would you cut?
Compulsively watchable four-hankie weepie.
Classic to the max, and with Davis, Henried, and those two cigarettes.
"Hold me-hold me like you did on Naboo" simply holds no weight next to Charlotte Vale's equally melodramatic yet far more poignant doomed romance.
Now, Voyager remains a highly narcotic, swoon-inducing romance in the Bette Davis canon.
Schmaltz sells, then and now.
...romantic and romanticized, sudsy and sentimental...a throwback to an earlier age in Hollywood when movies didn't have to be loud or vulgar to sell a point.
Consummate Warner Bros. melodrama, with Bette excellent as misfit and even better as reborn glamour-puss.
Classic Davis soaper with Henreid doing the double cigarette bit.
