Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
In this 1942 melodrama, founded on the novel by Olivia Higgins Prouty (who also wrote the novel on which Stella Dallas was based), Bette Davis stars as Charlotte Vale, a dowdy, repressed woman who, overwhelmed by her domineering mother, is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She finds help at a sanitarium from a kind psychiatrist (Claude Rains), who turns her into a beautiful, confident woman. As a new person, she takes a pleasure cruise, where she meets Jerry (Paul Henreid), an architect trapped in an unhappy marriage, saddled with a troubled daughter. The two fall in love, but, of course, the romance is doomed. Yet their paths cross on occasion, and, despite their feelings, Charlotte finds satisfaction in helping Jerry's depressed child. The film will seem familiar to new viewers--the campy style was the pattern for many tearjerkers to come, and its most famous line has been oft repeated ("Don't ask for the moon--we have the stars"). But the heartstrings are tugged, and as Paul Henreid chivalrously lights two cigarettes and hands one over to the doleful-eyed Davis, pull out the box of tissues--you're gonna need 'em. --Jenny Brown

A shattered spinster (Bette Davis) lives trapped in her own house. She lives with a dominant mother plus her caustic sister and cynical niece, who makes of her a motive of daily mock.
In these conditions of isolation and low self stem, a psychiatrist (The great Claude Rains) aids her to bring up from her living shell and slow but progressively nourish her lost youth, improving her self stem when she is carried to a mental institution.
When she is impelled to make a cruiser, ... Read More

I was never a Bette Davis fan. Seemed that any of her movies I tended catch on TV, or would see clips from in various biographical presentations, highlighted her many less-than-pleasant characters.
Finally made myself watch Now, Voyager and enjoyed it tremendously.
The story seemed to be a little muddled in parts - perhaps suffering from the book to film transition, but not distracting enough to make much difference.
If you've left Bette alone because of her, "edgier" ... Read More

"Now Voyager" tells the story of a middle aged woman who finds herself and comes out of her shell. Bette Davis is great for the role and is an excellent actress. The movie is a must see!

I wonder if this film REALLY ends as beautifully... and as positively, as so many of its viewers are led to believe... or are we swept-along (manipulated) by the outstanding performances, the high-romanticism of the film and/or its truly outstanding and iconic musical score ? (Ms.Davis always was concerned that Max Steiner's musical accompaniment would dominate the scene, subjugating her performance; at the end of DarkVictory, Ms.Davis, "on behalf" of her character, Judith, now blind, is reputed to have asked ...

This was surprisingly good. I say "surprising" because I am not a man who likes soap operas and that's what I expected from everything I had read about this film. Nonetheless, I gave it a shot and it turned out to be a very interesting and gratifying story.
No, I still didn't like the corny - and adulterous- love affair between Davis and married man Paul Henreid. However, I did enjoy the ugly duckling-turned-beauty story that featured Davis tolerating her nasty mother and then using her experiences ... Read More
