EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel 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 Review - 10/10 by Shawn 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 Review - 10/10 by Renee -~~~~~Bette Davis~~~~~ ~~~~~At her best!~~~~
User Review - 8/10 by Stephanie 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 Review - 8/10 by Super KBette Davis looked just like Angela Lansbury (or the other was around?) the whole time! I couldn't shake it!
User Review - 8/10 by Paula PI think this version is better than the one with Kate.
User Review - 8/10 by Diane JFor some reason I thought Kathryn Hepburn played this role... she should have anyway.
User Review - 8/10 by Les EStrong film adaptation of changing the culture of a small mining village into a place where schooling is not only appreciated but expected. Strong performance by Bette Davis, playing older than she was. Also watch Nigel Bruce, playing a character nearly as bright as his Dr. Watson character. Nigel is reflects the town character - and what a character he is. Good plot twists that were likely common "back in the day".
User Review - 8/10 by Timothy BCharming movie with an always outstanding performance by Bette Davis
User Review - 8/10 by Robin HBette Davis=Great Performance. One of her best. John Dall=Brilliant Performance. Nigel Bruce=Typical character role for Bruce. Wonderful story! Chorus singing is inspirational! Fast paced. Good direction & overall production above par! God bless progressives.
