NOW, VOYAGER
"Don't let's ask for the moon; we have the stars!" Gripped in the domineering claws of her mother, the utterly repressed Charlotte Vale (Bette Davis) is stuck in a cycle of self-loathing. Enter Dr. Jaquith (Claude Rains, CASABLANCA), who helps give her the confidence to step out and find herself on a South American cruise, complete with glamorous makeover. On board, she falls in love with the dashing Jerry Durrance (Paul Henried, CASABLANCA), himself trapped in a loveless marriage. But is their romance enough to complete her journey of self-discovery? British filmmaker Irving Rapper (DECEPTION, also with Davis) delivered one of the ultimate women's pictures — with a proto-feminist ending to boot — and led Davis to a seventh Oscar® nomination for her transformative performance. DIR Irving Rapper; SCR Casey Robinson, based on the novel by Olive Higgins Prouty; PROD Hal B. Wallis. U.S., 1942, b&w, 117 min. NOT RATED
