[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 146475, member: 68"] For Christmas I was bought a Bette Davis boxset. I already owned most of the films but there was one I hadn't yet seen. The Old Maid from 1939. Tonight I watched it. Bette and Miriam Hopkins as battling cousins both hiding a deep secret. Bette is wonderful as per usual. And she does what she does best, playing a woman through her full adult life, starting as a young beauty and going right through to the titular old maid. I don't think I have ever seen a Bette film or performance that bored me. She's just so darn watchable. And in the beginning of this film she's really quite beautiful. Like strikingly so. I'm sure I have seen Miriam Hopkins in other films but I cant think what they were. She seemed almost like a new face to me. I think I am going to re-watch the rest of the films in the box set over the next few nights. Next up is 1946's Deception. [/QUOTE]
