10/10
Wonderful

I am such a fan of Bette Davis, there is hardly a movie that she has made that I do not like. But this movie is great. I love her transformation from Aunt Charlotte to the worldly, travel worn, experienced woman of the world. I love the last line," Jerry, let's not ask for the moon, we have the stars". She should have won the Oscar for that performance, but Greer Garson won instead. This is definitely one that I will buy and add to my collection. I also liked her reaction to her brothers and sisters-in-laws, on her first night home after her return from her voyage abroad. This is her best performance, I was told that she had to fight for this role. The studio actually offered the role to others and did not consider her. I am glad that she got this role, can you imagine Ginger Rogers,Irene Dunne or even Norma Shrearer as Charlotte Vail? Nor can I. Thanks to the wisdom, of dumb luck of Warner Brothers Studios, this is and always will be a classic.
