In #OfHumanBondage,1934, la domanda che si pone al protagonista per tutto il film è:cosa ti spinge a comportarti così?Immensa #BetteDavis.

π¬ #TCM has been tap-dancing for their new bosses at least since April when their schedule was *all #WarnerBros movies, and their interstitial segments were variations of "100th Anniversary of Four Brothers With a Dream."
I watched most of the #BetteDavis screenings, including "The Star" (1952), which was new to me.

I just watched All This, and Heaven Too (Anatole Litvak, 1940) and rated it 3/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_This%2C_and_Heaven_Too?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #AllThisAndHeavenToo #BetteDavis #CharlesBoyer - painfully long for the sight story it was telling.

π¬ "The Star" | Just watched this scene. #BetteDavis is a broke(n) movie star who's bankrupt and selling everything but her Oscar.
"Can't you get it though your thick skull that I'm broke! Dead, flat stony broke! See!"
This scene, where Margaret Elliot confronts her mooching Sister and BIL is Oscar-worthy stuff. Davis was nominated, but didn't win.
Woke the roosters up this morning. They slept-in like nobody would notice because Sunday. Slackers.
Eight hours, a peanut butter pocket-book on Wonder Bread and grape Faygo later, I'm out for a lie-down and #BetteDavis in "The Star" @ TCM.
"One good part will put me back just where I want."
π¬ Screening now @ TCM, #BetteDavis in "The Letter" (1940).
Great story by W Somerset Maugham set in Malaya at a rubber plantation. Full of British colonial attitudes and privilege, and they determine, entirely, the outcome of the plot.
Based on a true story. Screenplay by Howard E. Kock. Directed by Wm. Wyler. Tony Gaudio cinematography.
Betty Davis' character is supposed to be Eurasian? In the original story, the character was a Chinese mistress. In the film, she's married. Hays Code.
π¬ "All This and Heaven Too" (1940) is screening now @ #TCM β a #BetteDavis movie I haven't seen. Out for a while to watch, rest. x

π¬ #TCM is running films from parent company #WarnerBros' film library this month on the studio's 100th Anniversary. I've lost count of how many #BetteDavis movies I've watched. Screening now, "Deception" (1946).
Some of my favorite Bette Davis scenes are with #ClaudeRains and #PaulHenreid. They star together in this film and in "Now Voyager" (1942).
π¬ #ErnestHaller photographed the #filmnoir classic, directed by #IrvingRapper.

π· Just after 8 Sunday morning; it's warm and drizzly out. Jack's still asleep and I'm here with coffee, cozy, watching a #BetteDavis movie, "The Petrified Forest" (1936).

π¬ "Dead Ringer" (1964) with #BetteDavis is screening now @ #TCM. She plays long-estranged twin sisters, Margaret and Edithβa woman of wealth and a cocktail bar-owner who lives in a small apartment out back ("a dump!"). It's a delicious crime story set in LA and Beverly Hills. I'll say no more except #KarlMalden and #PeterLawford co-star and I watch it every time it airs. A favorite.

Raise a glass for #BetteDavis (1908-1989), an actress who challenged her studio, her audience, and herself.
