Now, Voyager (DVD)

Now, Voyager (1942) starring Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Gladys Cooper, Bonita Granville, John Loder, Janis Wilson. Unhappy spinster Charlotte Vale (Davis) is brought out of her shell by a psychiatrist (Rains), then falls in love with a handsome married man (Henreid) on a cruise. But will she be able to stand up to her domineering mother? And when she gets a serious proposal of marriage, will she be able to accept, despite the memory of her love affair? I don't really care much for Bette Davis -- can't say why -- but this is still a grand soap opera. The subtitles are adequate to help the hearing-impaired follow the action. Grade: B
