Not Bette Davis's Finest Hour!!
18 January 2008
I really dreaded watching this movie, because Bette Davis puts in that fast talking ham handed performance that is way over dramatic. How could you say that she ruined this film? I think at this point of her career she still had a lot to learn and the "Balls To The Wall" female attitude stereotype didn't help. When she found out her sister died, she reacted like someone just stepped on an ant!! This was a court movie and Humphrey Bogart finally puts in a "Good Guy" performance and actually lives to the end of a movie "Finally" This film is good as a curiosity, but I think Bette Davis could have served the movie better with some acting classes that focus on "Real Emotions" and realistic speaking parts
