Review of Mr. Skeffington (1944) by Jessica R — 05 Mar 2009
This was a great role for Bette Davis, a charming and sad treatise against vanity and selfishness. Unfortunately the melodramatic script is frustratingly very heavy-handed. Bette Davis needed none of it to convey the full dramatic effect of a character, so the script was quite emotionally wasteful.
Worth a watch for her alone...
