What..the endless parade of reality tv isn't oscar worthy?? LOL Those poor Real Housewives and useless, vacuous Kartrashians are crying right now! American tv has turned to shit because the people there have turned to shit. Simple as that.
The great Bette Davis who was a joy to watch. Also starring the ubane and talented actor John Williams, playing her husband. Both prior to Hollywood, were also great theatre actors.
She is my absolute favorite actress ever.As a person she was honest and fantastic not to mention very wise though she would deny it out of modesty.If rhere is someone like her we could be best friends!Simply put i adore her
@@chaz4471 I dont know if i can believe that B.D is telling the truth.Granted it is not for me to judge Bette and her daughters relationship.we will never know the truth of the matter.
@@alegnalowe3679 I hear you, I didn't want to believe BDs account, but her children have also said that Bette acted wildly crazy many a time and I've also heard many, many interviews of those who knew her well, many who knew her intimately, and from what they have said, I now believe that what BD has said in her book and in interviews is correct. I often wonder if Bette had some kind of mental disorder . . . or, it could be that the high amount of alcohol she drank had a huge effect upon her personality. She still remains my all-time favorite actress. I so love the old movies when she was younger. So beautiful, just captivating.
YES....once a fine actress always one..i admire she kept working....lots of fine actors & actresses worked no matter.....like Van Johnson. Mom always talking bout Him at dinner clubs!! I was little girl but remember....wish Police would always be this polite more.......tfp!!!
She looks good here! I love everything about Bette - including the fact she allowed herself to look plain or even unattractive, if that's what the role required.
I have been a fan of her's since I was a child.. I read her bio that I found on the campus of "Loyola University" in New Orleans,LA back in 2004. When her contracted expired from Warner Bros..pictures/studios .. She placed an ad in the LA Times in the 1950's and caught some slack for it.. Movie actor's from the 1930's-1960's never did t.v shows..due to a stigma..
I had a Bette Davis box set (my favourite actress) which I lent to a friend -- when I asked if she'd finished watching them she said: "Oh I gave it to Pat as I thought she would see you before I did" When I asked Pat about it she denied all knowledge of it. SO -- one of these ladies has my box set but nobody is owning up to it. I AM SOOOO PISSED OFF. I don't speak to either of these people any more !!!!!
"Irene, is this true? " How would he or any of us know? I chuckled when the husband asked his wife that . She is, after all, a serial liar! This was a rather strange story......John Williams is an underrated actor. Bette Davis is , of course, grand...loved it when upset and crying she grabs his handkerchief from the front suit pocket! Such a natural. The best there is.
Bette is one of my all time favorites! She used a cigarette as a prop better than anyone else. (Not that I smoke or want anyone else to smoke.) To your good health!
I love Bette Davis she is infact my favorite actress I continue to watch her movies over and over.She may be gone but certainly not forgotten. She will remain alive on film for eternity !!
Beautiful.The great Bette Davis on TV WOW!!!!!.Loved it immensely. Thank You for posting this great drama.Mrs. Davis always superb in her movies. Mr. John Williams was great too.Loved him in "DIAL M FOR MURDER" with Grace Kelly.
The Tara home from "Gone With the Wind" is used in the opening sequence of this TV Show. It was sold and the remaining parts shipped to Georgia where they remain to this day stored in an old barn. Hopefully one day it can be restored to how it looked when used in the David O. Selznick movie. The home was sold to Senator Herman Talmadge and moved to Georgia in 1959. This show was from 1957 and probably one of the last shows to use the set for a TV Show prior to its' move back to Georgia.
This is a tribute to Bette from her old film In This Our Life, when Bette was still pretty young. It's another hit and run story and Some of the dialogue is even the same. She's unforgettable in the film
I've seen an early video of Humphrey bogart and betty Davis in it They BOTH didn't act like they did later. She had a part of bogart's girlfriend, and he was more like Jimmy Stewart
Bette Davis was one of the great actresses Of old Hollywood. It's a shame more producers didn't put her in more movies as she got older, and I don't mean movies like Baby Jane or Sweet Charlotte. But I wouldn't like the way Hollywood changed for the worse.
I collect old TV guides and saw this in one (Sept 1958 Fall preview). It sounded interesting so I looked it up. Well worth watching. It was a re-broadcast. There is such a wonderful storehouse of films & TV shows out there. Thanks for posting this terrific bit of TV's early days.
Thank you for uploading these Bette Davis movies. I miss those old movies. I don't know why the stuff they have on T.V. now just does not make me want to get some popcorn and soda and sit back for a night of T.V..
I think Ms.Davis had a hard time adapting to Hollywood as it changed and she aged. I feel she acted a bit overly at times as if she had to give some huge star appearance to all her movies. The best she ever acted in to me was what ever happened to baby Jane and she should of gotten that academy award. I loved her dearly and yet I've always felt she was never happy in her real role, her own life. As Ms. Bette aged I was grateful for Johnny Carson and even David Letterman for always making sure she was RECIEVING a check by having her on their shows and not tucked away as most of those greats from her time had done. Bette traveled lots near the end of her life. I still wonder if her daughter has ever wished they never had words over that book she wrote to which broke her mother's heart . Ironic how mother's and daughters never get along it must of been a generational thing anyway, there will never be those greats ever again nor will Hollywood ever have such class & Grace. There was a time you could load up what you owned and become a star not these days. Rest in peace Ms. Bette Davis ❤
I met Bette Davis , she was my pt , I told her I always wanted to an actor , and she told with her peculiar accent " is never to late" she was quite charming!!
@@willg4802 , of course she new I was kitting , and went pretty well along with the joke , the fact that I was her physician she didn't want to take a chance LOL!
@@julietteyork3721 ,this kind of women live in another dimension they're bigger than life and they can be to a certain point intimidating and that was Miss Davis !!
Thanks sooo much for posting these great gems of tv...What a great " husband" he loved her so!!.wish i had a man like that....lol....great actor !John Williams..& awesome Bette Davis....thanks fr Texas
Something done by Bette Davis that I've never seen before.How wonderful! Thanks you so much. Was Bette's husband in this film the inspector from "Dial M for Murder?
This world is shutting down. All we have is time to live for JESUS! St John 3:16! 💓 JESUS is Returning SOON to carry HIS BRIDE away in the RAPTURE! ALLELUIA! GET READY! 🙏🙌
Probably without any doubt the most aspiring actress of her time don't know of any actress today that could hold a candle to bettie thanks for the memories
Absolutely enjoyable. This would have made a great Hollywood feature length film. Of course the script would have been fleshed out with more LIES that Miss Davis would have been caught in throughout the film. Davis would have been even more glamorized in various scenes. Too bad Hollywood thought Miss Davis had been finished in films around this time. Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfeild had caught the studios attention by having various wardrobe malfunctions.
I remember watching this several mos ago......ends GOOD.......i can relate 2 her character...not an actress...but poverty stricken right now& single...blessings but very lonesome....wish i could meet a man like THIS!!!.....Poor Irene " in this short.....but does end good
@@karenhill3970 There were 2 major homes used in "Gone With The Wind", of course Tara was Scarlett's home and "Twelve Oaks" was the name of Ashley Wilkes home. From what I have read the front of Selznick International Studios was somehow used for the images of "Twelve Oaks" but the "Tara" home was just a facade based on a Plantation home in Georgia which stood for years only to later be either torn or burned down. but the opening scene is the facade of "Tara" from "Gone With The Wind".
Ive seen this before but cant remember a thing about it - one of the pluses of getting old - you can enjoy films and tv shows several times round just as much as the first
Hard to believe that there was a time when you could watch programs on TV that carried the same quality as an Oscar worthy film
😂
@lindaeasly5606 So true. This has the quality of a full feature film. TV once gave the viewer excellence.
What..the endless parade of reality tv isn't oscar worthy?? LOL Those poor Real Housewives and useless, vacuous Kartrashians are crying right now! American tv has turned to shit because the people there have turned to shit. Simple as that.
And they were free
Well & truly said!
She is just simply MAGNIFICENT!
The great Bette Davis who was a joy to watch. Also starring the ubane and talented actor John Williams, playing her husband. Both prior to Hollywood, were also great theatre actors.
Another Bette Davis gem. Please post any other of her appearances on TV dramas. This one was great.
Amazing. What a timeless talent she was. Her performance so overrides the dated, corny material that she makes it all look good.
Love Bette she was a rare jewel, cant take my eyes off her when she's on screen.
Her daughter finally admitted that her mother was a witch. Very sad
She is my absolute favorite actress ever.As a person she was honest and fantastic not to mention very wise though she would deny it out of modesty.If rhere is someone like her we could be best friends!Simply put i adore her

Thanks for posting, I love any movie with Bette Davis
Did you ever see the nanny? Truly scary and my favorite of her roles
@@RainsWorldVegasSlots Oh yeah, that movie WAS scary! Scarier than Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte or Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, for sure.
Love that she kept on working. Few films offered, so she was smart & took these TV roles. An ACTOR must ACT.
Michael Totzke The Whales of August was very good...
Imagine how excited tv viewers were to see Bette in an original work. She was probably criticized for it.
YES....once a fine actress always one..i admire she kept working....lots of fine actors & actresses worked no matter.....like Van Johnson. Mom always talking bout Him at dinner clubs!! I was little girl but remember....wish Police would always be this polite more.......tfp!!!
Her desire to work brought her to tv which was considered a step down, especially then. Set her ego aside. Amazing
Shes fabulous
Love Bette Davis, Savage 3:26
Mrs Davis the oueen of cinema back then I loved her in All About Eve.
YES👌🏻❗ "Buckle up it's gonna to be a bumpy ride". I've also seen "Fasten your seatbelt ...." ❓🤷🏻♀️, either works. But why❓
She’s only 49 in this movie! She looks beautiful! 🌹
There never was or never will be again A BETTE DAVIS. Fans wanted Bette Davis to be just like she is in this little TV film.
There's no-one like Bette, that wonderful clipped diction, such charisma and a joy to watch. Wonderful stuff!
She looks good here! I love everything about Bette - including the fact she allowed herself to look plain or even unattractive, if that's what the role required.

@@gigiduhermoine890
What a clever, cheeky thing to do. She was such a force.
@@barbarajackson9022 My mom's fav actress. As a young lady, my mom even looked like her.

Guess we’ll never know who was lying to protect who?!
What a treat that Bette and John Williams fit to work together.
Bette raised the bar on anything that she lent her name to. Brilliant !
Bette is one of my all time favorites! She used a cigarette as a prop better than anyone else. (Not that I smoke or want anyone else to smoke.) To your good health!

Something with Bette I’ve never seen before! Yippeeeeee!!!!
Her voice was so distinctive in this little play.l guess every one was lying. Accept who done it.
This was lovely. When one thinks one has seen all the body of her work, these television shows are a real treat.
I am hanging on every word coming out of her mouth
Love these little Bette Davis gems! Keep them coming!! Cheers!!!
I second that, these are wonderful!!!

Certainly No Mumbling with Bette Davis or Joan Crawford ,,,,True Actresses,,,,,,,,compared to these days ,,Mumble Mumble,,,,,,
New England accent?
@@lizmoore7281
I dont get why people like Crawford.. her acting was never real to me.. like she overacted. Bette Davis is the best.
Thanks Alan for posting these Davis shows. During the fifties, Bette sometimes had better opportunities on TV than she did in films.
Great reading the comments. Not just me who is charmed by this film era.
Fiona Newport I am.😍
She did the lying eyes moves flawlessly.
Bette looks remarkably attractive in a rare glamorous role.
Surprise ending. Bette Davis was a treasure. Thank you!
Love these short little programs of Bette Davis. They are fantastic. Thanks for posting. Enjoying them very much.

"You see, I've never dressed for jail before"😃thank you for posting these gems
She’s such a liar - “The Letter”, “In This Our Lives” she’s been a lovely jail bound terror for years. 😁 A true Legend!

That whole world of snotty, exclusive country clubs: how restrictive & horrible.
How insure
I love them!
Michael Totzke - don’t knock it until you live it !
Idk. Added a touch of class. Sometimes a string of Pearl's and a martini will get one thru a day
That was entertaining if one's a Bette Davis fan. She's looking good here. It was a predictable script, not bad. But it sure petered out at the end.
Bette was 49 in this film. Opening scene she floats down the stairs like a 20 year old angel. What a rare, exceptional legend for ever more.
49 is not exactly ancient. Why in Heavens name would she not float down the stair.
I just adore BD ❤
From the beginning she was too good to be true and I see 10 minutes into the movie that she was not as perfect as she was perceived
Humans can be so predictable! LOVE BETTE!!! Thank you for sharing!!
I love Bette Davis! What is the reason that many old videos have a digital timer on them?
What's with the timer running across the bottom?
What a classic!
This is my catnip... thank you!
This reminds me of "In This Our Life" -- until the end. 😎
What a gem, love Bette Davis...Keep them coming please!
Wonderful Classic
It would be more enjoyable without the counter onscreen.
