Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Unfortunately, there are too many words and not enough music.
Fresh: Heaven is film theatre at its best.
Fresh: It's a pretty long, gloomy haul, though lavishly mounted (with photography by Ernest Haller) and sensitively acted.
Customer Reviews
Whoo-hoo
great classic movie that finally made it to itunes
Glorious Film!
Awesome performances by a stellar cast! Charles Boyer is perfect as the stressed husband. Bette Davis as always gives a flawless performance as an innocent victim. The performance you'll want to watch is by the little known Barbara O'Neil, who-in my opinion-did an excellent job as the wife. Definitely on worth viewing!
Fantastic
This is one of Bette's best, but she is almost overshadowed by the powerful performance of Charles Boyer, whose slow spiral into madness and murder is riveting to watch. Barbara O'Neill does a stellar job as his neurotic, nagging wife. Truly a movie you will never forget and will want to watch often.
