Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
In this 1942 melodrama, founded on the novel by Olivia Higgins Prouty (who also wrote the novel on which Stella Dallas was based), Bette Davis stars as Charlotte Vale, a dowdy, repressed woman who, overwhelmed by her domineering mother, is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She finds help at a sanitarium from a kind psychiatrist (Claude Rains), who turns her into a beautiful, confident woman. As a new person, she takes a pleasure cruise, where she meets Jerry (Paul Henreid), an architect trapped in an unhappy marriage, saddled with a troubled daughter. The two fall in love, but, of course, the romance is doomed. Yet their paths cross on occasion, and, despite their feelings, Charlotte finds satisfaction in helping Jerry's depressed child. The film will seem familiar to new viewers--the campy style was the pattern for many tearjerkers to come, and its most famous line has been oft repeated ('Don't ask for the moon--we have the stars'). But the heartstrings are tugged, and as Paul Henreid chivalrously lights two cigarettes and hands one over to the doleful-eyed Davis, pull out the box of tissues--you're gonna need 'em. --Jenny Brown

- I've seen them all but I own this one!
I'm a big fan of "old" movies, I love this particular movie genre but I was never a fan of Bette Davis, that is, until I watched this film. I've since become an avid fan and collector and I've come to believe she was the finest actress of all time. Isn't that what's so great about movies; that they often make profound impacts on our lives! Well this movie made an impact on mine and I hope it does the same for yours. And if you're looking for the next Davis film - try Watch on the Rhine. Even hubby liked that one!

- Now, Voyager
This is a 3-box of Kleenex film. Wonderfully acted by the ever changing Bette Davis, the music score by Max Steiner has great melodies. Even Black and White cannot affect the interesting plot.

- Magnificent Warner Brothers' Trio
Bette Davis captivates the lead in this, her best film. With one of the most versatile and seasoned actors, Claude Rains, one wonders who the true love match in the background story is between. Doubtless, Paul Henreid is well paired with Davis as a traveling companion and lover. This trio will meet on sets over and again because of the ways they unite to ingite the silver screen. The Warners had it made with these three great talents as part of their core acting team. We seem here to agree that "Now, Voyager" is a choice Bette Davis classic. Imagine what the next generation will be writing about it! No graphics, no special effects; tremendous script writing & adaptation and of course, the finest acting imaginable. Actors seem to compete with each other on screen today instead of drawing out the best performances in each other as these 3 'voyagers' did.
