Northshire Bookstore Review(s)

Reviewed By... Alden Graves

A superb collection of six of Davis' best films from the late 1930s and early 40s. None of them have previously been available on DVD. The Old Maid(1939) is an adaptation of Zoe Atkins' Pulitzer prize-winning stage play about an unwed young woman who allows her daughter to be raised by her married sister, knowing that her sister, too, loved the man who fathered the child. A tear-jerker supreme, beautifully played by Davis and Miriam Hopkins. All This, and Heaven Too(1940), based on Rachel Fields' bestseller, casts Davis as a governess in an unhappy home headed by Charles Boyer. Mary Astor won an Academy Award co-starring with Davis in director Edmund Goulding's classy soap opera, The Great Lie(1941). In her only film with legendary director John Huston, Davis is paired with her lifelong friend, Olivia de Havilland. They play two sisters, one good and one bad (guess which one Bette plays) in In This Our Life(1942), an underappreciated adaptation of Ellen Glasgow's Pulitzer prize novel. Davis gave an emotionally wrenching performance opposite Paul Lukas' Oscar winning turn as a anti-Nazi freedom fighter in a talky, but powerful adaptation of Lillian Hellman's stage drama, Watch On the Rhine(1943). She was paired with Claude Rains -- whom she would later name as her favorite of all the actors with whom she worked -- in the top-notch 1946 romantic melodrama, Deception.
