| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyIrving Rapper's screen version of Emlyn Williams semi-autobiographical play is well acted by Bette Davis as the spinster-teacher, but is too theatrical, sentimental and conventional. |
| User ReviewShawn SWonderful performances. I think they got past the Hayes law. Fantastical and winning story. Gripping. A real treat for anyone who hasn't seen it, or like me, has seen it for the third time! |
| User ReviewRenee -~~~~~Bette Davis~~~~~ ~~~~~At her best!~~~~ |
| User ReviewAshley HI Love this Movie.Miss Moffet changes the literacy of a reluctant Miner Town, & even some of the some of the Elders (who once opposed her) come to her to read & write.She changes Lives, Stone Hearts, & makes a mark on this Welsh Towns thinking & customs, & in particular one exceptional student. |
| User ReviewStephanie PTypically outstanding Bette Davis performance. Joan Lorring is terrific in a supporting role. Very well produced drama, excellent art direction and very well produced. Good direction. But, it is Davis' film all the way. |
| User ReviewSuper KBette Davis looked just like Angela Lansbury (or the other was around?) the whole time! I couldn't shake it! |
| User ReviewPaula PI think this version is better than the one with Kate. |
| User ReviewDiane JFor some reason I thought Kathryn Hepburn played this role... she should have anyway. |
| User ReviewIce RA recent discovery for me, Bette Davis showing a somewhat softer side . . . but always formidable. There were other excellent performances to match Bette's, including the despicable Cockney maid, Bessie. A heart-warming movie about a teacher's devotion. |
