Movie Reviews of The Nanny
Movie Review: Bette Davis as The Nanny
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Bette Davis films and that was the only reason why I bought this movie. If it were not for her in the lead role, I wouldn't have even bothered. This movie comes towards the end of Davis' career and it's one of her final lead roles. However, the film was not very interesting to me.
The story is good, but the film moves VERY, very, slowly. Ironically, the only character the viewer can sympathize with is the killer. The father is cold and indifferent; the mother is a whining, emotionally disturbed weakling; the aunt is okay, but she's only around to raise the victim count; and the young boy is by far the MOST ANNOYING youngster I've ever witnessed on screen. I wanted so much for Nanny to off him. Perhaps that's good acting on the kid's part, but it goes on for way too long in this film and it left my nerves in pieces.
Bette Davis does the best she can with this role. The movie itself is far inferior to her, but she gives it her all. I appreciate her willingness to play a full variety of characters, both sympathetic and unsympathetic alike. My 5 stars are strictly for her gracing this movie with her magnficent talent. Apart from her, this movie would be a total waste.
