REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 27-Jun-2005)

I do not understand why this movie is not on V.H.S. or D.V.D.It is a good Bette Davis-Miriam Hopkins vehicle that stands above the 1981 remake "Rich and Famous" starring Jacqueline Bissett and Candice Bergen. In this version that spans 20 years two childhood friends noble literary writer Kit (Davis) and selfish romance writer Millie (Hopkins) feud over literary status, money, Millie's long suffering husband Preston (John Loder) and daughter Deirdre (Francine Rufo, later Dolores Moran). Davis gives a good sympathetic performance as Kit. Hopkins gives an over-the-top performance as the jealous and selfish Millie. This film is a must see for Davis-Hopkins fans and yes contains the famous shake and slap scene that film buffs talk about. It turns up on Turner Classic Movies and is not to be missed.
