"One of the cinema's great romances."-Danny Peary, Guide For The Film Fanatic
A tender love story, a taut psychological drama, an inspiring tale of physical and spiritual transformation.Now, Voyager is all three, as well as a Bette Davis career milestone, resulting in her sixth Best Actress OscarŽ nomination.She magically plays Charlotte Vale, a spinster who defies her domineering mother (fellow OscarŽ nominee Gladys Cooper) to discover love, heartbreak and eventual contentment.
More magic is generated by a top-notch ensemble, Max Steiner's Academy AwardŽ-winning score and an improvised moment by Paul Henreid that became an instant classic: he lights two cigarettes at once and hands one to Davis.For the ultimate in romantic melodrama, it's Now, Voyager now, then and forever.
