Now, Voyager remains a highly narcotic, swoon-inducing romance in the Bette Davis canon.

Consummate Warner Bros. melodrama, with Bette excellent as misfit and even better as reborn glamour-puss.

Now, Voyager (1942) is the quintessential, soap-opera or "woman's picture" ('weepie') and one of Bette Davis' best-acted and remembered films, coming shortly
