There’s nothing campy about “Now,Voyager”, style or otherwise. Some people obviously don’t understand the difference between classic and camp. This is a wonderful 40’s film and one of Bette Davis’ most memorable. Based on Olive Higgens Prouty’s chronicles of the Bostonion Vale family, it tells of repressed spinster Charlotte Vale breaking free from the mother-from-hell (a marvelous Gladys Cooper) and emerging into an independant modern woman through the help of sympathetic psychiatrist Dr.Jacquith (Claude Rains). When a frustrating relationship with unhappily married Jerry Durrance (Paul Henreid) and the death of her mother (after a heated argument) almost derails her, she finds purpose and meaning in helping Durrance’s emotionally disturbed and neglected daughter Tina (Janis Wilson—overacting just a tad). Henreid’s cigarette lighting ceremony with Davis became film legend as did the splendid music score by Max Steiner. There’s nothing campy about the screenplay by Casey Robinson either. In fact, it offers one of the loveliest lines ever heard on screen. Spoken by Davis, it’s the closing line: “Let’s not ask for the moon…we have the stars.” What words could be more perfect while gazing up at a nightime sky with your lover? A top notch cast puts this over in divine style. Both Davis and Cooper were nominated for Oscars. Watch for Mary Wickes as Dora the nurse to Mrs.Vale. And please, don’t view this lovely film as camp. It’s a true classic and a vintage example of good filmmaking. Essential viewing for the film lover. Just enjoy it.
Some movies simply get better with age, much like fine red wine. This is certainly true of “Now Voyager.” It is an “ugly duckling” to “beautiful swan” tale–hardly a cutting edge concept–but it works impressively here. Charlotte Vale (Bette Davis) seems doomed to a life of dull spinsterhood under the thumb of her domineering mother, the outstanding Gladys Cooper. But a kindly psychiatrist comes along (Claude Rains) who sees potential worth tapping under nervous Charlotte’s dumpy exterior. And the transformation is filmed superbly;Bette Davis never looked more glamorous. The first shot of the “new” Charlotte–now traveling under an assumed name on a cruise ship–as she makes her entrance is a moment of monumental film making. Aboard the cruise, Charlotte meets and falls in love with a married man (Paul Henried), and she manages to stay connected to him through his troubled daughter that she finds and helps at Cascade, the very institution that helped bring forth the new Charlotte Vale. There are moments of joy, moments of humor, moments of sadness in this movie. Max Steiner’s score is top notch, and Orry-Kelly’s costumes could not be better. This film has frequently been singled out as perhaps the best representation of the trends in moviemaking in the 1940’s. After viewing it, you will understand why.
