Bette Davis is one of my favorite actresses but I would not recommend this movie to even die-hard fans. I think what ruins her performance is the lack of a talented co-star. Jim Davis is so wooden in his role that he pulls everyone down who shares a scene with him, and since the movie is mostly dialogue between he and Davis it is insufferably dull. With an actress as outstanding as Bette, there had to be something that could have been done to enliven the performances, but even the conversations were stiff and uncomfortable. Alas, even the gifted Bette Davis couldn't move this one along.
