Bette Davis won the academy award for this and I don't know why. She was good in it but there's nothing exceptional about the movie. I thought it was a filler. It's about a washed-up actress and Franchot Tone sets to make her successful again. However, Bette Davis has a way of destroying the men along her path including her husband. Franchot Tone has a good relationship with Margaret Lindsay but he lets himself go. I thought the ending was a cop-out and it didn't fit what we already have watched of Bette Davis' character. I'm on a Bette Davis kick so I will be rating more movies soon.
