bette davis--icon
known as 'the 4th warner brother' and 'popeye the magnificent' davis has been lauded, imitated and lampooned--but she will never be surpassed. this list is a list of my favorite davis films.

The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939, Unrated)
1939's version of elizabeth i and her torrid affair with the earl of essex is as fanciful as kapur's 1998 take on elizabeth's early life. but it's just as fun to watch with bette davis stamping, slashing and swatting her way through the role, flynn looking gorgeous and providing subtle counterpoint to davis' tempest and olivia de havilland in solid support. |

All This, and Heaven Too (1940, Unrated)
this film can be watched as either 1940s high style romantic drama or biopic. it's main character, henriette deluzy-desportes, did exist. but this film does not explore her so much as make a great romantic flight of fantasy of her involvement with the duc du praslin. bette davis and charles boyer are their usual brilliant selves in the leads and barbara o'neil gives the performance of her career as the unhinged, jealous duchess du praslin. |
