I'm watching Bette Davis in "Now Voyager" on TV and reading DU.
I've seen this film a gazillion times...but, I always cry. It's one of my favourites.

:cry:

6. Slight spoiler below:
I love it when she finally tells off that old harpy of a mother.

And of course there's that ending with the cigarettes.

12. Uh Oh! Charlotte's mother just had a "spell"...a "heart attack."
They're reading the will now...Charlotte says, " I did it...I never did anything to make my mother proud. Jerry, where are you when I need you so much?"

:evilgrin:

16. "I thought you came up here to have a nervous breakdown."
Charlotte is now assuming the role of surrogate parent. She dismisses any of her own problems.

22. I can't believe it!
We just watched that tonight. We have the movie on tape. Never tire of that movie. Last night we watched 'A Letter To Three Wives' and 'The Women'.
If you love Bette Davis, don't forget 'The Little Foxes'
