The Bette Davis Collection, Vol. 3 (The Old Maid / All This, And Heaven Too / The Great Lie / In This Our Life / Watch on the Rhine / Deception)
This set is terrrific. These are Bette Davis classics and and the quality of the DVDs are super.
Movie Review: A missed opportunity
Summary: 3 Stars
Although I am very happy that In This Our Life is finally out on DVD, I felt the other selections were rather banal choices. Why did they have to put Watch On The Rhine in this set? A very tedious talky sactimonius piece of WWII propaganda, which is not even a Davis vehicle. All This and Heaven Too although a box office success in it's day, is rather long and overdrawn. Why not have included Dangerous and Beyond The Forest in this set? Some out there may turn their noses up at the thought of these two films being included in a Bette Davis boxed set--indeed, even Davis admitted to hating these films--but her performances still hold up today, and would have made a good juxtiposition between the young Davis spitfire persona and her latter day turn at a no-holds barred middle-aged vixen. I wonder who puts these packages together???

Summary: 5 Stars
Bette Davis sparkles in this 3rd collection, which features 6 previously unreleased (on DVD) titles.
In This Our Life: Bette Davis and Olivia De Havilland are a pair of priviledged sisters who can't get along, especially when Bette tries to cover up a murder.
Watch On the Rhine: This war-time film won Paul Lukas an Oscar for Best Actor, and features one of Bette's most personal monologues that she said set the tone for the rest of her life.
The Old Maid: The original pairing of Miriam Hopkins and Bette that had audiences crying in the theatre. It was one of the most profitable films of 1939.
The Great Lie: When Mary Astor won her Oscar for Best Supporting Actress she thanked Tchaikovsky and Bette Davis- and rightfully so. For once, Bette plays the good girl, while Astor plays the femme fatale with grand results.
Deception: The reunion of the "Now Voyager" cast (Claude Rains, Paul Henreid, Bette Davis) finds them embroiled in a deadly love triangle.
All This and Heaven Too: Warner Bros. answer to "Gone With the Wind" stars Bette Davis, Charles Boyer and Barbara O'Neil. When Bette becomes a governess to a well-to-do French family, she finds herself an accessory to murder.
These films are excellently restored and have wonderful special features. My only wish is that they hurry up with the 4th volume and are sure to include some of the most requested Davis films such as "Beyond the Forest", "A Stolen Life", or "Cabin in the Cotton."
Movie Review: ADORE!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ADORE Bette Davis and this newest boxed set collection has excellent art work! It also has several more of my favorite films such as All This and Heaven Too and Deception. This is a beautiful package with purposeful attention to the Bette Davis "eyes" on the front cover. It's extraordinary! I do hope they put Dangerous and some of her earlier films in the next set. Thank you Warner Brothers! Thumps up to you!Movie Review: Love bette davis films. Was hard to find these tiltles.
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank god, Amazon had these tiltles available, it was hard to find these titles on DVD. I would have to wait until cable decided to show these films.
Thanks Amazon!
