Amazon.com essential video:
In the opening sequence of The Letter, director William Wyler delivers a primer on film directing: at a rubber plantation, in the tropical funk of a Malaysian night, the heavy stillness is suddenly broken by shots... and a woman with a gun, descending a staircase. She is the wife of the plantation owner, and the dead man is, ahem, not her husband. Holding the gun so securely is Bette Davis, in one of her greatest performances (her acting of a big revelation, late in the film, is still an astounding piece of emotional fluency). The story is taken from one of those sturdy Somerset Maugham tales that has proved itself in many versions, but this is the keeper; it was nominated for seven Oscars®, including best picture, director, and actress, winning none. Wyler's impeccable direction, and Davis's take-no-prisoners approach to an "unsympathetic" character, make for a completely satisfying picture. --Robert Horton

From the opening gunshots to the final, shocking conclusion, `The Letter' is a stunning and provocative film that never lets the audience out of suspense. With beautifully crafted performances and a stunning script that plays with the audience in more ways than one, this film is one of the best from the 40's, and maybe even one of the best ever.

Not a big fan of Miss Davis. It's mostly hitn'miss.But her ability can't be denied. By the time The Letter is made she has moved out of her ingenue roles into a beatiful women. Not in the the sexual gourgeousness of Harlow, Hayward or Gardner mold, but beautiful nontheless. Her range in this movie alone is tremendous. She plays Leslie, wife of a rubber plantation owner. That she shot another man while alone in her home, is not in dispute. That scene is done in dramatic fashion early in the movie. ... Read More

I've just watched THE LETTER on TCM. It's the best film noir movie I've seen. and I have to have it. Believe the reviews, it is a stunning film.

We see the dramatic noir scenes of Bette descending the staircase of the plantation house. When we finally get a close-up, I realize the year the movie was probably made. My mother wore that exact hairstyle in the years 39-41, as is evidenced by many family photographs. I am in love with the exotic cinematography of this film. Again there are blades of light coming through louvres and casting upon faces and mysterious forms. I am also delighted by the tinkling of wind chimes and the moody soundtrack, ... Read More
