I wonder if Charlotte and Jerry got married because I know that she broke her engagement to Elliott for that reason because she loved Jerry more and wanted to be able to raise his daughter Tina as her own and she didn’t tell her mother about it
She actually lived. Charlotte really moved her to a small house and she married but her husband passed away. After his passing a terrible storm knocked the phone lines out. As a recent ghost he was not able to communicate well and he would call her but she thought it was a prank. Until the day she discovered that the wires had fallen into the grave and she had entered the twilight zone.
As Maggie Smith says she's played some grand "gargoyles," and I loved her as the sometimes acid Dowager Countess of Grantham, but she definitely could have learned a few notes from Gladys Cooper in "Now, Voyager," and "Separate Tables!" Gargoyle know thyself!
They could have chosen Margaret Wycherly to play the mother. That would have been a hoot! Mary Wickes plays the nurse, Dora! She's remembered more as a comic character actress.
Lol this wasn't supposed to be funny but was as it brings to mind later Baby Jane tells Blanche "I did it you told me so yourself" in the famous clip accent😅
""now voyager" by betty davis is an a great movie for single young girls ,that make them into young pretty girls ,helps them become aspiring talkers to help the elderly in those days.and their traveling romance with the kissing scene that turns the greeks backs away from blushing so much,but makes you love the plot of the movie becomes Becomes breathtaking you want to keep your eyes constantly in motion.
I love this movie and have seen it dozens of times... but this is the first time I actually noticed the Tchaikovsky playing in the background as she ascends the stairs. Funny. I always concentrated on the monologue and not the queue. Always thought Steiner was her go to composer.
MAYBE MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALLLLLLLL TIME!!! Cooper was absolutely FANTASTIC 'cause she made ALL OF US TRULY HATE HER IN that role. Fascinating fact though.....she was not that much older than Davis but the fantastic makeup job & dowdy hair & clothes made her look like she could've been her mother. However, possibly my favorite scene in ALL of film history is when she threatens Charlotte(Davis) with disinheritance. Then Davis responds with "I don't think I would, Mother, I'm not afraid"!!! That scene with Bettes' impeccable makeup, hair, dress and the set & lighting directors FABULOUS work with regard to the light on her face is something that literally continues to give me true strength & hope to this day in 2021!
A mother like this may be perceived as being very strong, and having a very independent nature. So much so that she would tend to be intimidating. However that is all a surface made up image. The truth is that a mother of that type person of that type, is actually very insecure, and must cling on to other people in order to feel safe. Charlotte's mother has for Charlotte's entire life made her feel as if she or worthless, couldn't do anything to help herself, and very much in need of her mother. However the opposite is true. It was Charlotte's mother who was in need of support. By Charlotte's mother clinging to her and depending on her so heavily, just like a drowning person will tend to pull the person who has come to the rescue down with them, Charlotte's mother has been a burden for so many years to Charlotte that she is pulling Charlotte to the bottom with her. Point here is that anyone who controls another person it's not really in control at all, they are just simply insecure and hanging on for dear life.
Cooper would have also been good as the witch in "The Wizard of Oz". It's hard to believe that she was actually quite the beauty about 30 years earlier.
My God, Gladys Cooper's performance is brilliant! Seeing that her stranglehold on her daughter has failed she attempts to humiliate her by telling her she'll wind up an old maid! Hearing the truth from Charlotte finally does her in! Scenes of this kind can never be recreated by the actresses of today!!!!!
The scenes would not have worked were Cooper the least intimidated by Davis, and clearly she is not. Cooper works as well with Davis as did Claude Rains and Mary Astor. Like Davis, Cooper was not afraid to take on a character that dares an audience to hate her, both here and in the following year as the forbidding nun in "Song of Bernadette." Yet in "My Fair Lady," seeing straight though her unctuous son Henry, she's one of the most likeable. Again like Davis, an amazing and memorable actress.
Miss Cooper was having trouble remembering her lines. Bette Davis had championed Gladys Cooper for the role. She insisted on director and crew showing Miss Cooper patience and respect.
Coopers character is not only a bad mother, she's a bad person. Constantly shaking her will in Davis' face, threatening to disown her, etc. Total witch.
My mother is like that as well, but I hope to still have a chance in my life. Always using excuses to cover the fact I wasn't really wanted and seeing me as a chance to get what she couldn't on her own.
I was just getting ready to make the same comment. It's that fabric for me. I don't generally like early '40's clothes (those damn shoulderpads), but this dress is so... I don't know what, but I love it, too. It's feminine, but strong--and a great choice for this scene. I'm glad she was wearing this when she basically killed that b***h of a mother! lmao!
"I'll get a cat and a parrot and live alone in single blessedness." Boy her mother is a hoot. I saw a movie where Gladys Cooper plays a really nice friendly lady and I didn't recognize her!
I don’t want to be single forever. I know that I want to get married someday and have a man and kids in fact I have a guy I already love

@ericgregory9478 how do you know that
Miss Coopers performance in the bishops wife is the bookend of two masterful characters.
The immense wealth guarantee’s you breed with, who they say 🤑
ONE of the GREATEST films ever...amazing actors, visually stunning, wonderful story line, they DON"T make them like this any longer.....
THE GREAT G.COOPER!!!!!!!!! THANKS 50MILL.UPLOADER.
What a woman! Chooses the perfect moment to die and have her daughter live in guilt forever more. That's taking your duties a little too seriously!
As Maggie Smith says she's played some grand "gargoyles," and I loved her as the sometimes acid Dowager Countess of Grantham, but she definitely could have learned a few notes from Gladys Cooper in "Now, Voyager," and "Separate Tables!" Gargoyle know thyself!
Paul hennried, too. Today, ceasar is portrayed as a teenager American with a head full of hair, unable to recite shakespear, lazy talkerrs.
Bette, a gift also, both so skilled.
Claude rains was a gift.
Fell in love with Paul Henreid after seeing him in this movie. I never tire of seeing it.
Is she dead?
Nice momma
Mom should be shoved down the stairs, backward. The nurse would have helped and would have provided an airtight alibi.
A beautiful and brilliant movie. I identified with this woman. I have only recognized this now 💜
This reminds me of that song from 'The Wizard of OZ'! 🙂
They could have chosen Margaret Wycherly to play the mother. That would have been a hoot! Mary Wickes plays the nurse, Dora! She's remembered more as a comic character actress.
Hard to believe she was in Sisters Act
I wouldn't have told her "I" did sh*t!!
Right!? I don’t understand why she didn’t say “Elliot Broke his engagement with me” 😭
Lol this wasn't supposed to be funny but was as it brings to mind later Baby Jane tells Blanche "I did it you told me so yourself" in the famous clip accent😅
Great Scott... she killed the old witch 😛
Truth.....
Thank you 🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘

A big yes to get you back serious to school.
Kaseteena
It's just a such a great movie.a classic .but don'nt make a big deal out of it.

Shes 20 years older, shes pretty much a lot older
@@nanmesem you’re right. She was 20 years older than Bette Davis. I sit corrected.
Bette is beautiful in this film 😁
I just went to eBay and bought Now Voyager and three other Davis movie's for $15.00 and free shipping.

Every time I watch this scene, it reminds me of my mother.
She could dish it but she couldnt take it. BYE BYE MOMMY DEAREST!
😂 Gladys was brilliant because she was so convincing that you hate her
1:42 "You aren't ever gonna sell this house and you aren't ever gonna live it... either."
😂😂😂😂 brilliant dude! Adore Bette Davis no one today compared
The mother was a vicious old bat. Her twin was probably the mom in NOTORIOUS.
Cooper would have also been good as the witch in "The Wizard of Oz". It's hard to believe that she was actually quite the beauty about 30 years earlier.

Kim Kardashian could.
I agree with you completely, however ms cooper was a mean old B-tch.
Control her,
And the actresses really were friends. How fun
I love the dress BD wears in this scene. If only it were in color
I'm swooning over those sling back shoes! 😍🤗Swoon🤗😍
yes
I've wanted to do this for years...
One of the best expiration scenes I've seen. Just drops dead. Good for for the Dame Cooper!

Yet in "My Fair Lady," seeing straight though her unctuous son Henry, she's one of the most likeable. Again like Davis, an amazing and memorable actress.
Along with this performance, I'll never forget Cooper's face as the jealous nun when she saw Bernadette's leg....incredible!!
Miss Cooper was having trouble remembering her lines. Bette Davis had championed Gladys Cooper for the role. She insisted on director and crew showing Miss Cooper patience and respect.
♪ ♫ ♬ Ding Dong the witch is dead! ♪ ♫ ♬
It certainly seems that way! Some people will stop at nothing to make other people feel bad
Coopers character is not only a bad mother, she's a bad person. Constantly shaking her will in Davis' face, threatening to disown her, etc. Total witch.
My mother is like that as well, but I hope to still have a chance in my life. Always using excuses to cover the fact I wasn't really wanted and seeing me as a chance to get what she couldn't on her own.

I was startled by the timeless beauty of Bette's dress....you can easily wear it today!
"I'll get a cat and a parrot and live alone in single blessedness." Boy her mother is a hoot. I saw a movie where Gladys Cooper plays a really nice friendly lady and I didn't recognize her!
akarpowicz yeah she was that good of an actress
I ALWAYS LOVED THAT LINE!!! It still burns in my memory today... You don't need a partner to be fulfilled in life.
She was a great beauty when she was young.
masterful.
Charlotte, honey, don't feel guilty. You're WAY better off without this horrible old hag.
She stopped her organs on purpose!
Outstanding
Talk about the maternal instinct. This biltch throws her cubs to the lions.
