What a wretch of a mother! Gladys Cooper was superb!
This scene is just one example of what made Bette Davis the best actress of all time. Yes, there are some other "greats," but only one Bette Davis!
Betty Davis was the best and no one compares to her till this day
100% and please don't even mention Meryl Streep. Bleck!
Debra Abbadessa You forget about Katharine Hepburn, Barbara Stanwych and Joan Crawford. Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine. And Ingrid Bergman!
@filip chung I traveled extensively and the only person I've seen portrayed in nearly every country is Marilyn Monroe . Bette Davis comes in a far second place, but she does show up. No one else.Just saying...
@filip chung All great. Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardener and Gene Tierney also good at their jobs
@@filipchung2121 I agree but there was someting VERY SPECIAL about Bette and this was one of her best films.
One of her best. I've lost track of the times I've enjoyed it. Gladys Cooper was excellent. Tyrant.
Davis loved working with her and it shows. You don’t get scenes like these without real chemistry between the actors.
The way Davis so gracefully sat down with her legs already crossed. #period
I love Bette's clutch! It's so glamorous!!
I can't take my eyes off it!
Love Mary Wickes. She was wonderful in everything she did. Played a nun in Sister Act in the '90's and was still as funny as ever.
Isnt that so cool my mother saw this and i told her becuase sister act is one of her favs and she was soo suprised
There are a few Bette Davis movies I haven't seen or known about. I've seen Now Voyager and it's unforgettable! Really enjoyed Claude Raines too! 👍😉
I used to see it on TCM sometimes. It's a very powerful movie, beautifully photographed and acted, and quite a bit ahead of its time. Charlotte is really like a teenager stunted from fully growing up by her dire mother, and I think in many ways this film prefigures the postwar ones about young people rebelling against their parents and a bigoted society.
NV takes a remarkably...cold, questioning and detached view of the family - at the time, the happy family was an inviolable element in American culture and in Hollywood. Charlotte finally understands that she can't hope to be united with her lover in marriage, they will have to carry on the affair on the side - but the film openly accepts this. And it also accepts Charlotte taking care of Tina, even thoygh Tina isn't her daughter at all. So the three people the film cares the most about have to find their happiness and fulfilment beyond the legit family - and this is endorsed by the movie. That's amazing for a 1942 Hollywood production.
Charlotte's mother is my mother. Only eight months ago did I finally get my mother straight. She's not speaking to me. Never have I had so much peace in my life.
I don't know about you but I always feel frustrated that Charlotte handles the situation so... passively. I want her to have given her mother a mouthful and pushed her out the window!
@@philipofsparta1355 Yes 😆😆😆
@@philipofsparta1355 Oh stop! LOL!!
@@philipofsparta1355 But that would have been reverting to Davis's bitchy mannerisms that made her famous, and she so seldom got the chance to really act..
I had a similarly monstrous, mean, bigoted Mother. Unlike the passive Charlotte Vale, I gave my Mother a piece of my mind. We never got along. Her death was a blessing.
I always love that hat! It really frames her face so well.
Have watched this movie many times and I cry every time….superb acting!
Fabulous scene. Everything delineates tyranny of mother over daughter
Gladys Cooper sure was one of the best character actresses I've seen that really portrayed her roles so very realistic.Remember her in The Miracle of Fatima. So cruel as a nun and in My Fair Lady as the regal mother of Henry Higgins.
Gladys Cooper certainly knew how to make me listen to her rant, over and over . . .
One of my all time favourite films.
It makes me feel young... and old at the same time.
*WOW! Mrs. Vale is a MOTHER all right!* 😳
Good film to watch on Mother's Day.
I am enjoying the lock down watching all these fantastic moves i find her very beautiful the most wonderful actress 😚
Outstanding my best just love Bette Davis
My all time favourite Bette Davis film followed by Dark victory and the old maid brilliant
I saw Dark Victory when I was about 20 (I’m 62 now) and it rocked my world & deeply moved me so that I’ve never forgotten it. Contemporary films seem vacuous and shallow in comparison and don’t even have good stories let alone a strong moral message like Now Voyager & Dark Victory. THIS was the Golden Age of Hollywood as far as I’m concerned.
@@albertsmyth9616 I agree I was very young when I fell in love with the golden age of Hollywood Bette Davis Joan Crawford I've a lot of their films
@@albertsmyth9616 watch the Anniversary she's cuttingly nasty love it
@@johnderham2829 Yes indeed, agree totally. They were great stars with genuine talent and there are only a handful like that today and even so, they’re not as talented as the great stars were then in my humble opinion.
WHAT a wicked mother!!! So jealous of her daughter!!
She bullied her daughter
What scares ME is that she was pretty much exactly like my own late mother. Who was ALSO from one of those very old northern American families.
I loved this movie, Ms Davis, Ms Cooper, and Rains, the doctor. The first time I saw it was with my Mother, and it reinforced the urge to travel, to see the world. That big old house the Vale’s lived in was like our big old house.
And have you, traveled extensively?
This comment makes me wish we were friends.
I really like how Bette stop for awhile before opening the door.
There’s only one comment I can make concerning the acting - Incomparable!
Such a horrible witch. Gladys Cooper in reality was said to be an incredibly kind person. This is perhaps one of her most memorable roles.
A kind person interpretes well a witch...do you think so?😊
@@ivancervi1825 Poor Claude Rains! How did he stand that woman? Gladys Cooper played such a nasty person in this Movie!
She played a similar role in the Bishop's Wife except she's way worse in this movie.
Her mother is old and wicked. Charlotte should have fled that house as soon as she arrived.
Such a great film! Thank You, Big Daddy Sir!, For the reminder of great film!
I wish everyone still dress like this.
I do!
@@Mike8981 You're a guy and you wear expensive fancy dresses and gowns? 😂
@@Mike8981 Mike, humor almost always falls on its ass on these boards.
Gladys Cooper reminds me of Cloris Leachman...in that they were both great beauties but it's not what they were later famous for.
Just years before I was born this film was made. I don't recognize this era. Meaning life is very different now, indeed. And why wouldn't it be. 😊
Estrela fabulosa. Bette magnífica Davis
One of my faves. I only wish the scene had been filmed in...higher contrast?...so we could see the details of Charlotte's suit, hat and stole.
It likely was, originally, but film quality degrades over time. Old movies looked very different when they were on brand new film.
Bette Davis es la mejor de todos los tiempos gracias a Dios nos podemos deleitar de su increíble trabajo con la tecnología. Irrepetible mounstuo de arte.
There were way more great old movies to enjoy in the 1970s on free antenna TV.
Charlotte, now in her new persona...( tho' still a little shaky on her feet) quietly but firmly, faces her mother. And with Claude Rain's words in her ear, moves forward. But then, Paul Henried is just down the road apiece..with those two cigarettes...
Bryan n v 30th 1
Major dialogue flub: her mother says "Hilda is just Lisa's size; we've had all your dresses fitted to her." She should have said "Hilda is just your size; we've had all your dresses fitted to her".
Miss Gladys Cooper should have won a best supporting actress Oscar for her role in Now voyager. After the great Bette Davis, she stole all the scenes. Miss Mary Wickes was always a joy, and a hoot to watch in everything she was placed in. Hollywood :The Golden Age. And never repeated. Delboy. 🎉🎉🎉.
I just have to point out that NO house in the Back Bay, Boston has a front lawn. They have steps to the street. Ha-rumph! I still love Bette! ❤
MAX STEINER was the wind beneath Bette Davis movies.This is probably his best.
The tenderness of the music in the final scene as Bette and Paul talk on the patio perfectly matches their emotion.
@@markcrowder489 Agree 👍. That dancing scene at the ball in JEZEBEL was stunning. Max Steiner was a genius. In Mildred Pearce, he stole from himself, playing some NOW VOYAGER!!!
Bette Davis 😍
Pure hokum but with Davis and Cooper it will always be a "must see" Davis film as both ladies elevate Olive Higgens Prouty as a name that would have been forgotten except for these two ladies and Stanwyk (sp?) performance as the ultimate in mother love.
I don't see it as hokum
Thanks for noticing, my apologies to Gladys Cooper, may she rest in peace!
One of my favourite scenes.
Thank God for UA-cam!
What a wonderful movie what a love story 💜💜💜
I love this movie. Charlette was ever so right in facing her life the way she wanted. Not Mother!!!
Gladys Cooper was one of the Gibson Girls - the great beauties of 1900 LOL
How they used to normalize accepting the abuse of toxic parents.
This movie is my all time favorite
This scene always reminds me that I need to schedule a wax for my eyebrows. 😆
Reminds me so.much of me im Charlotte and this was my mother putting guilt shame and disgust uppon myself God how I hate her
Watched it with my mum and my gran..its a mother-daughter film
Bette's mom is played by Gladys Cooper, not Gladys George.
Love Gladys cooper she's a wonderful actress she's so dramatic and excellent acting skills, which sadly not in any of today's so called actress.
Stand up to the old bag
No wonder mom and dad had separate rooms. Mom is a real battle ax.
The driver, Oliver, should have said "yes ma'am"
Love the clip, almost as much as the UA-cam channel name 😛
The channel name caught my eye for sure lol
Idole
Outrageous ❤️
Bette was wonderful in this movie and I think the wardrobe was created by the Australian Orry-Kelly but I might be wrong. I do know that Kelly did design gowns for Bette by I think they had a falling out at some point. Sadly Kelly waa an alcoholic which affected his work.
Hop! Jump! Skip! Roll-over and play-dead! :)))))))
Gladys Cooper plays almost a superb New England type mother... it's.just that she's too nice and not as severe as the real ones.
THE GREAT G.COOPER!!!!!!!
Good movie!!
This wonderful scene reminds me the Song "Mother" by Pink Floyd" ...
Betty Davis gran actriz
"Ma-ma" is in for a surprise.
What a movie.
Bom. Cinema
Yes, there are mothers who are this abusive
The narcissistic mother
That Cowboy Hat
Betty is superb
What is that she found on her daughter's Room ?
Mother knows best.
What a horrible mother, she loves blaming her daughter for giving birth to her.
Mmm. The film takes a remarkably cold and critical view of the family as an institution, it is really painted as oppressive, lacklustre, flawed, a place of double standards, jealousy and misgivings. It's clouded a little by the framing of the story as "from ugly duckling straight to swan when she meets the right man" , but Charlotte really is fighting her mother - and towards the end of the film she realizes that she can never share a legal family with the man she loves, so they will have to find their happiness beyond the family. That was quite radical in 1942 (and it comes straight from Prouty's novel, of course).
Girl I would leave
Charlotte.. claimed she would consider being a "waitress"--which is a Laugh! It would've been a Fascinating movie IF HER MOTHER had DISINHERITED Charlotte and, then, see how She coped with being..Poor.
What a toxic parent!
no mother wants her daughter to be sexy. it's a mother's worst nightmare.
Why is having a beautiful daughter a mother’s worst nightmare?
@@julietteyork6293 they start manipulating men, like this movie. Unless you're into that as a mother....
@@ezrhino100
She wasn’t manipulating men. What a twisted take.
@@julietteyork6293 so the men liked her before the make over and the dead animal around her neck? How about yoga pants and low cut top? That would fly over well...

Traduzcan!!!!
Maybe someone here knows...was that Max Steiner conducting the orchestra at the concert?
No. Not Max.
WICKED
the transformation in this film is almost like a sex change
@Patrick, that cowboy hat makes it even more so. 🧘♂️🧘♀️
Where was Lizzie Borden when we needed her?
I wonder why she hated her daughter so much.
I can't stand most modern movies.
I hate Gladys Cooper right there. LOL, excelent acting
Mother bully in cheif
BETTE DAVIS LOOKS LIKE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD COMPARED TO MARY WICKES
Her mother is unbearable jeez.
One of the nastiest mothers on film.
