Movie Reviews of The Nanny
Movie Review: Subtle Davis yet very engrossing
Summary: 5 Stars
When one speaks of Davis and her best work, The Nanny is rarely mentioned and it should be. Following the success of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Davis stuck to familiar territory with Dead Ringer and Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. Then she went to England and filmed The Nanny. While many of her performances are over the top and outlandish as we are used to seeing, her role here is much more subtle. She is so quiet and reserved you wonder how she stood still for so long. But Bette Davis is the best actress in film history so it's not hard to believe. Ten year old Joey has just been released from a children's hospital two years after he was accused of drowning his baby sister in the bathtub. He says the Nanny did it and is still suspicious that she is trying to get rid of him. Suddenly his mother is poisoned and again, the blame is put on Joey. Was it him or was it the Nanny? Joey and the Nanny match wits until the truth is revealed in the end. A terrific old film many people may not have heard of or forgot about. Don't miss it!Movie Review: THE NANNY SHINES...
Summary: 5 Stars
About fifteen years ago when I was a kid this movie was playing on the A&E channel late one stormy night and I never forgot about it. It made me a huge Bette Davis fan as I realized what a great talent she was. This is right up there with Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, although The Nanny is a far more subtle movie, it's just as enjoyable as Baby Jane. I have hoped for years this movie would come out on DVD. Finally, it's here and the picture looks crisp and clear and the sound is excellent. The film is a superior psychological thriller and the young child actors are brilliant and can hold their own against the great Davis. If you like subtle horror/thrillers then this is an under the radar classic that should not be missed. Watch it some dark and stormy night... it's fantastic.Movie Review: Perhaps Bette's final good role
Summary: 5 Stars
Too rarely seen, THE NANNY is arguably the last good, textured role Bette Davis played on the big screen.
A subtle psychological thriller about a mental competition between an English governess and a 10-year old boy suspected of murdering his sister, THE NANNY is as low-key and understated as WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE and HUSH...HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE were baroque.
A surpisingly effective "small" film, this is no shlock horror picture by any stretch. It's really quite poignant and chilling.
Movie Review: The Nanny
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an old film I saw as a child and it scard me to death. It's the best way to describe Betty Davis for sure. Still gave me a scare when watching it this time, and the ending is a suprise, things aren't what they seem.Movie Review: Fun and scary and maybe a bit hokey!
Summary: 5 Stars
This old classic had an impact on me as a child. As an adult, the I found the psychology of this movie intriguing, One of Bette's better scary flicks.
