Now Voyager (PG)

Directors Irving Rapper. Drama/Romance


A tender love story, a taut psychological drama, an inspiring tale of physical and spiritual transformation. "Now, Voyager" is all three, as well as a Bette Davis career milestone, resulting in her sixth Best Actress Oscar nomination. She magically plays Charlotte Vale, a spinster who defies her domineering mother (fellow Oscar nominee Gladys Cooper) to discover love, heartbreak and eventual contentment. More magic is generated by a top-notch ensemble, Max Steiner's Academy Award-winning score, and an improvised moment by Paul Henreid that became an instant classic.

Starring Claude Rains, Bette Davis, Paul Henreid
