Review of Now, Voyager (1942) by Roger R — 10 Jan 2012
Few mainstream movies are about the complexity of human interactions and the subtleties of family life. This classic love story of the golden age of hollywood tackles head on the problems family relationships can have in terms of a persons self esteem and how some people take out their own life disappointments and petty prejudices on their spouses or children.
A magnificent case all round and an especially hopeful film, without that saccharine the a modern hollywood film might bring to the same theme which shows how one person's concern, affection and respect can turn another's life around.
It also explores the two way nature of such interaction, in that the person apparently doing the 'giving" can by the very act of giving get much in return. Especially hopefully is the Claude Rain's character as a common sense psychiatrist who realises that a little sensible advice, a supportive environment and TLC can turn a person's life around/.
