Review of All This, and Heaven Too (1940) by Mec R — 18 Mar 2008
This film is a little contrived, plotwise, with the governess falling in love with the father. However, Bette Davis and Charles Boyer carry it off with sheer charisma, charming audiences enough to make up for the lackluster plot.
Davis plays an uncharacteristically weak character in this film, but she shows a great deal of vulnerability and a hint of what might have been had she taken more roles like this governess reminiscent of Olivia de Havilland.
