Pros: Acting - especailly Davis. Interesting plot.
Cons: Too melodramatic at times.
Summary: This Bette Davis movie is a lot different from most movies she has appeared in. Instead of being cast as a sharp-tongue, independent women, in Now, Voyager Davis is a shy, emotionally depressed woman who has endured a lifetime of emotional ... read more

Pros: It's Bette Davis, for crying out loud!
Cons: The boring John Loder as Charlotte's wanna-be suitor
Summary: "Now Voyager" is one of Bette Davis's best films. Her metamorphosis from the shy, emotionally crippled frump- Charlotte Vale- to an assertive, attractive, independent woman is a wonderful thing to behold. Davis's transformation is artfully subtle ... read more

Pros: Bette Davis gives a great performance, a different, but nice story
Cons: I couldn't believe how nice her character was to the end!
Summary: The best part of this movie is Bette Davis. In this movie, she proves why she is considered one of the greatest, most interesting movie actresses.

Pros: A beautifully written and acted romantic drama of a world we sadly let vanish.
Cons: Modern types might find it slow (and it is in B&W)
Summary: This is a film that so clearly embodies how drastically life has changed in the past 60 years that it is almost breathtaking. Now Voyager is a movie about adults, civilized adults who dress well, speak softly and politely, and follow the rules of ... read more

Pros: Bette Davis, Claude Rains, Charlotte's awakening
Cons: The ending
Summary: The first image that comes to mind when I think of Bette Davis is hard, cold, and mean. Romantic and vulnerable don't fit her. Which is why Now Voyager is a movie that proves what a good actress she is. She displays all the softer qualities in this ... read more
