Review of The Letter (1940) by Scott R — 29 May 2015
Both Wyler and his star, Bette Davis, were well ahead of their time. This film is a strong reminder of that. While the film adheres to the general melodramatic approach of most movies of its day -- there is particularly complex performance from Davis.
And, Wyler's film fully utilizes the rare skill of his cinematographer, Tony Gaudio, to create a surprisingly unsettling movie.
