1.Corn Is Green (1945) starring: Bette Davis, John Dall, Nigel Bruce, Rhys Williams, Rosalind Ivan directed by: Irving Rapper September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.99
"A full, ripe ear of emotion and enjoyment" -New York Herald Tribune Bette Davis gives a sharp, vital interpretation of Miss Moffat(the spinster teacher fighting to educate the poor children of a Welsh mining village)...by remaining true to its legitimate stage counterpart," adds the Hearld Tribune. The story, based on Emlyn Williams' autobiographical play, focuses on the relationship between Miss Moffat and her gifted young prodigy from the mines, Morgan Evans (John Dall). "Consumed by inward fire, by the sheer joy of imparting knowledge" (London Picture Post), she molds him into a legitimate candidate for an Oxford scholarship in the remarkably short span of two years. Despite the disaster of Morgan's seduction by trouble-making Bessie (Joan Lorring), ... Read More

2.The Man Who Came to Dinner starring: Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, Monty Woolley, Richard Travis, Jimmy Durante directed by: William Keighley June 06, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.50
Way back, long ago, well not too long, but it seems long enough to me now at the age of 40, I was in the onstage play "The Man Who Came To Dinner" in highschool. I played the "glamorous actress", Lorraine Sheldon...quite a meaty part, indeed. We were a huge hit, and this is one of the many shows I've done that clearly sticks out in my mind as one of the most fun to do. The character was a wonderful opportunity for a rather shy around guys young woman to really stretch as an actress, and it gave me a lot more confidence as a young woman and a young actress as a result of my performance. I do miss the stage, and hope to go back someday. This is a wonderfully written script, and the movie is delightful...these kinds of movies simply are not made anymore, where you see true comedic genius in all of ... Read More

5.Great Lie (B&W) starring: Bette Davis, George Brent, Mary Astor, Lucile Watson, Hattie McDaniel directed by: Edmund Goulding February 03, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.50
By the time Bette Davis made THE GREAT LIE in 1941, she had already established herself as one of Hollywood's most formidable actresses whose edgy style of dramatics made her the logical choice to play Maggie, a wealthy woman who passes off another woman's baby as her own. The plot is pure melodrama, of course, but it is not for that which stamps this movie as a near great. Once the audience gets past the logical improbabilities of the coincidences needed to make one scene lead to the next, what causes that audience to remain fixed on the unfolding events is the titanic clash between Bette Davis and Mary Astor (Sandra). And caught in the middle is George Brent, who first marries Sandra (Astor), gets her pregnant, flies off to the Amazon, crashes his plane, and remains off screen for the middle part of the movie. Brent is ... Read More

6.Dangerous starring: Bette Davis, Franchot Tone, Margaret Lindsay, Alison Skipworth, John Eldredge directed by: Alfred E. Green December 21, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.89
Saccharine melodrama in which an actress in frank process of decadence is aided by a young architect who gets she resurges fro the ashes of the forgetfulness. But is Bette Davis who once more, established the difference to earn herself the Academy Award in 1935 as Best actress.

7.In This Our Life starring: Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, George Brent, Dennis Morgan, Charles Coburn directed by: John Huston September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.39
Director John Huston was known for having said that he let Bette Davis loose when he directed her performances. Here's a fine example. As Stanley Timberlake, a young Bette Davis is unleashed to royally throw tantrums of a very spoiled brat of a wealthy heir. Her sister, played by Olivia de Haviland usually takes the tormenting hits that Davis dishes out. If a viewer believes Scarlet O'Hara (from "Gone with the Wind") was a spoiled Southern brat, Stanley Timberlake is the more modern day, more realistic version of that character. Davis' Stanley makes Leigh's Scarlet seem way less self-centered and as if she cared about several people other than herself. Stanely Timberlake doesn't give a hoot, frankly. This motion picture gives an early glimpse of how great a character portrayal Davis is capable of delivering because Timberlake ... Read More

8.Catered Affair starring: Bette Davis, Ernest Borgnine, Debbie Reynolds, Barry Fitzgerald, Rod Taylor directed by: Richard Brooks September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.95
Dreary settings, dreary story, dreary moralistic ending. Bette Davis attempts a lower-class New York Irish accent, with little success, and there is absolutely no chemistry between her and Ernest Borgnine, doing a rehash of his Marty role with a bitter edge. Debbie Reynolds in a non-comic role is surprisingly good, but also unconvincing as the poor daughter of a cab driver. Barry Fitzgerald provides a much-needed spark of life, and, of course, is the only one with a convincing characterization. The story wraps up conveniently with the central characters having sudden, inexplicable changes of heart. Definitely a disappointment.

9.Mr Skeffington starring: Bette Davis, Claude Rains, Walter Abel, George Coulouris, Richard Waring directed by: Vincent Sherman September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.87
You can't get better than Bette Davis in my opinion. Claude Rains is a wonderful male lead, portraying a calm, long-suffering Mr. Skeffington to Bette's selfish, manic Mrs. Skeffington. You won't want to miss a minute.

10.Thank Your Lucky Stars starring: Humphrey Bogart, Eddie Cantor, Jack Carson, Bette Davis, Ruth Donnelly September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.65
THANK & COUNT YOUR LUCKY STARS. tHIS MOVIE IS SUPERB AND VERY AMUSING WITH STARS OF YESTERYEAR.
