Review of Mr. Skeffington (1944) by Ruth A — 08 Jul 2010
This is one of my hesitant favorites. It's hard for me to say I like this film, because it did jerk a few tears. Tears of joy. For this was one of the great classics. Bette Davis played a stuck-up prep (what people would call her today) who had no care for breaking anyone's heart as long as she had attention.
Then there's Claude Rains, who played Mr. Skeffington. He also gave his performance of pretty much the only man who didn't worship Bette Davis's character. All the other men would give their life to have her, but Mr.
Skeffington was different. And this scenario makes the movie great. This film represents Romance, Envy, Horror, Sadness, Drama, and comedy. Just watch the film for words few words can't describe how amazing and wonderful this film is.
This is my favorite film from Bette Davis and YOU should watch this. Enjoy, because you will.
