VHS Movie Reviews of Mr Skeffington [VHS]
Movie Review: Bette and Rains are superb
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an overly long melodrama, utterly dated and in desperate need of an editor's scissors. Yet the performances of Bette Davis and the incomparable Claude Rains transform it into quite a good film, worth buying. Bette is perfectly cast as the vain and self-absorbed heroine who eventually loses her looks and learns some humility as old ages crashes in on her. Rains is pathetically sad as her hen-pecked husband who adores her in vain. Their scenes together are brilliant. For anyone who thinks today's crop of stars is anything special, do yourself a favor and sample Bette Davis and Claude Rains, two masters!
Movie Review: one of bette's best
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best performences of one of the best most enchanting legends of 20th century film.. Miss davis really grasps all she is known for in this work of Sherman's through speech, mannerisms and of course those infamous glares that only this star can display with such force.. A most modern epic for it's time and a true collectors piece for any davis fan!Movie Review: You can't beat it.
Summary: 4 Stars
You can groan at the the corny philosophy, smirk at Bette's hammy technique, gloat over how immune you are to the hokey charm of this old war-horse... but by the end you'll be sitting among the damp Kleenex wishing you'd been loved the way Mr. Skeffington loved Fannie. Raines has all the subtilty Bette lacks, but it's still the Bette Davis magic that makes the movie an enduring classic.Movie Review: Grand entertainment
Summary: 4 Stars
A beautiful film with an extraordinary score by Franz Waxman, composer of "Sunset Boulevard", "A Place in the Sun" and "Peyton Place". The score is now available in an outstanding new digital recording via the Marco Polo label. Order it from Amazon.com!!!!Movie Review: Vain? Never admit it, but you'll understand it! GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
Seeing in Bette's eyes (especially this time) a person of vain, yet intimate and (even on today's standards) kniving ways of self-fullfillment is as personal as it gets. Anyone who's had any kind of life in ANY era will be able to relate to Fanny.
