Movie Reviews of The Great Lie
Movie Review: THE GREAT LIE is WONDERFUL!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
THE GREAT LIE is really Bette Davis at her finest. She and George Brent always seemed to make magic on film and a chemistry that is so intense the audience can't help but feel, and they didn't fail us with "The Great Lie". Bette Davis and fellow star Mary Astor work off of each other in a glorious way and keep you enjoying both characters and wanting to see "just how much can you rely on a promise from a woman who loves the same man you do". They make you laugh, they make you cry, they make you furious...they are AMAZING in this film.
As a side note, Mary Astor respected Bette Davis' work so much, when they made "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte", even though Astor had a rather small (but very important) part in the movie and not even a scene together with Davis, she wanted Davis on the set because she respected her opinion so much! So check out "The Great Lie", it wont disappoint.
Summary of The Great Lie
AN AUTHENTIC REGION 1 DVD FROM WARNER BROTHERS. SYNOPSIS: Tempestuous, ambitious concert pianist Sandra Kovac (Mary Astor) shares a bond with down-to-earth Maggie Van Allen (Bette Davis) and her little boy Pete. Sandra's chic New York friends can't imagine what the two women have in common. What they don't know is that Pete is actually Sandra's son -- and the son of the heroic aviator (George Brent) that both women love. Powerful emotions rage against a backdrop of powerful music in the film that earned Astor a 1941 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her stellar performance opposite the legendary star who always gives a tour-de-force performance. This story of a great passion, a great sacrifice... and a great lie showcases two great actresses.
