Editorial Reviews

The most important female star on the Warner Bros. roster during the 1930s and '40s, Bette Davis squabbled constantly with her employers over the quality of the films to which she was assigned, even going on strike to avoid appearing in formulaic B-pictures. Eventually she prevailed, getting plum assignments in major projects. This five-film collection offers a representative cross-section of her early output, with a later cult favorite thrown in for good measure. Lloyd Bacon's Marked Woman (1937) casts Davis as a nightclub dancer implored by crusading district attorney Humphrey Bogart to testify against her boss, racketeer Eduardo Cianelli. William Wyler's Jezebel (1938) earned Davis an Oscar (her second) for her performance as a tempestuous southern belle whose flirtatious behavior has devastating consequences. In William Keighley's hilarious The Man Who Came to Dinner (1941), top-billed Bette actually had a supporting role but made the most of her limited screen time as the hard-boiled associate of acerbic radio commentator Monty Woolley. Vincent Sherman's Old Acquaintance (1943) reunited Davis with former costar Miriam Hopkins in this story of the 20-year-long personal and professional rivalry between two headstrong women. With Robert Aldrich's What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962), Davis began a new phase of her career. Her performance as a former child star, living with her crippled sister (Joan Crawford) in a decaying Hollywood mansion, briefly typed Bette (still only in her early 50s) as an interpreter of grotesque, neo-gothic characters. Hardly of a piece with her earlier films, it's nonetheless a classic and easily rates inclusion in this sensational collection. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble

Bette Davis Collection, Vol. 2by Anonymous

June 04, 2006: Probably one of the best movies I've ever seen. Davis was so much more than the modern actress's of today who typically just learn their lines and muster up some half-baked emotion to match the script. No, something in Davis's brain usually snaps during the performance and you see that she actually becomes the character. For instance, one scene she regresses to a small child while confronting the housekeeper. Watch her face at that moment,she comes accross as a completely confident psychotic lunatic but also shows the fear and innocence of a small child all at the same time. The ending could have been better but overall it is well worth the effort. Crawford was good, but paled in the shadow of such a huge talent like Davis. Watching Davis in this film is like watching someone who is being filmed while they're all alone but they don't realize that a camera is on them. She is totally natural and not at all self-conscious. Most modern actors seem to be totally self-conscious and extremely aware of the camera. Just watch this film, you'll see what I'm talking about.
