I always thought old movies were boring until at work one day back in the 2000s I caught a glimpse of Bette Davis in this movie. She is absolutely captivating and I have watched so many of her movies now. She is the best,
Bette was an amazing actress, I can watch all her movies she is so fascinating.
I always thought the golden ages were well and truly interesting times and were the best films made. They certainly do not make them as they used to. If you like things like this, watch the film 42nd Street. It came out I believe the same year as this film. I related to the main character here of Philip. I was born with clubbed feet, so when they had a character with clubbed feet, I could relate to him and I could not stand Mildred. Bette understood her character well and portrayed her in a way that was absolutely hair pulling and frustrating. Hard to accomplish now a days with today's actors. I'll take a movie from 1930's any day and I'm 39. I'll be 40 end of this year and I much prefer the old colorless pictures to anything now. Glad that you gave golden age Hollywood a chance, try more films - there's a whole list! It's on here to, when you have a moment watch Arsenic and old lace. I promise, you will love that film! I did, I laughed so hard. It was so well done...I tell anyone that loves these sorts of films, watch Arsenic and Old Lace. It's one of the best and remains a favorite of mine, right behind this film, Of Human Bondage.
Before the Hayes Code was enacted movies could be a bit more edgy. Bette Davis and Barbara Stanwyck are my favorite actresses from that period because they weren't afraid to take on any role.
"Good riddance to bad rubbish". My Mom used to say that, and I am sure that she heard it in this film.
It’s a real life situation that many of us find ourselves stuck in.
you decide and it won't happen ,its up to you
There are lovely people out there. It's just finding the right one. I believe if someone is treating anyone like Mildred treated Phillip, then it's best after the first time it happens to move on. Because then the person you are supposed to be with ends up being missed when pursuing someone not worth their salt like Mildred. It was downright sad. Both Bette Davis and Leslie Howard were fantastic. It is such a shame what happened to Leslie during WW2. His plane he was taken got brought down when flying over a place that was in the middle of a war. He was a fantastic actor.
Nothing worse than to be in love alone.
Story of my life ...
nothing better , no surprises hahaha
IF you love yourself enough and first and someone disappoint you it really would not matter. It is when you become attached to others without loving yourself first and foremost is when the problem thicken
Wonderful and timeless, mesmerising and recognazible. Thank You so much for giving me the opportunity to watch this. Greetings from Belgium, a loneley womandoctor, in Belgium. It's now 1am. Sleep thight yo'all. Kisses.
I hope you're not still lonely.
This was a wonderful movie😊. I want to watch it again and again. Such a classic!
90 years ago already this month! Wow. As a filmmaker, I love watching these timeless classics. Editing is an art, and they created a masterpiece. It's crazy to think all of these actors/actresses are all long gone by now.
Classic Bette Davis, in a role she will play throughout her long and distinguished career. Powerful story of a man's obsession that nearly costs him his life, only to finally be free in the end. A movie classic that will endure for the ages. Joe S
She fought hard for this role. At the time the majority of actresses ran away from the role because they where afraid of being type casted as 'A bitch'..
In her Memoir Bette told of how she would be waiting for Mr.Warner every am with the shoe shine boy and every night she pleaded with him..Till finally almost 18 months he finally let her Go to RKO to make the movie.
I've read the book several times and she did an excellent job.
Thanks for the information. There are movies which influence you and you wish to know more about the people associated with them.
I love The Lonely Life. Bette conveys what acting is so well, she digs deep into what it requires with lovely detail.
An excellent novel, worth reading and re-reading. The film is exceptional. Thank you for posting.
Of human bondage, I am lucky to watch this movie.
Excellent performance By all cast members 💯 especially Betty
This movie in no way should be confused with the book. It doesn't come close to his angst or his obsession with this woman. This movie was only a drop in the bucket. I was literally mentally worn out when I finished the book. I mean this movie just didn't hit the same but that's Summerset, he hits the bone.
My acid reflux flared up thinking of the book. So intense to have such feelings that seem to only go 1 way
I appreciate your response but do not entirely agree. The level of obsession and passion he/ the narrator had for this woman, who barely acknowledges his existence, would be almost impossible to portray on-screen without making him seem like an absolute nutter. Both leading actors are well-chosen and do a remarkable job.
I've been wanting to see this for ages. Superb Bette!
Thanks for posting this classic movie!
Thankyou x I never get tired of this movie x
Bette Davis is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME in my book anyway. Second is Meryl Streep!! ❤️❤️🍾
A GOOD movie, really enjoyed it.gone with wind guy .bete Davis?a gem
Bette could act but couldn't do a London accent any better than Dick Van Dyke.
Accent was all over the place.
Such a great movie. Ahead of its time in terms of technique, use of sound, Davis as a bitchy but still sympathetic heroine. Brilliant. I love the moment when Leslie Howard gets his foot fixed, only to use his new found mobility to walk endlessly for jobs that aren't there, in Depression era England. The ending also isn't typical, as the director leaves it unclear whether he'd be truly happy with Frances Dee. Nothing goes as you think it will in this film. Great stuff.
The painters opinion about mediocrity is to the point.
How you could left Norah for Mildred. Shame on you
Betty Davis was clearly gorgeous back then.
Wowza - the “male/female” and power relations and masochism ... quite bizarre!
Great film but there is so much more to the book.
The medical students view about women is same in contemporary times.
He he😂
@@sharmiladevika somebody commented after 3 years. Thank you.
@@mishrakaushik1 i found it very contrary to the stereotype image we have of young medical students.at ucms bus stop I noticed them to be very nerdy types…. I am happy to know they too lived their lives then. Cheers.
A lady was expected to play hard to get her reputation wasn't compromised and men valued a woman with morals and standards for marriage considerations
Could there be more commercial interruptions? I gave up.
This is similar to the story of the blue Angel
Legendado por favor
London doesn't look like that anymore

1:20:42 What on earth is the racket for?
@flowerchild778
They were jaywalking and the vehicles were all honking. They weren't even trying to rush across.
Mediocre, I never understood the meaning until it was too late.
Ok i know everyone thinks Bette Davis can do no wrong, but WTH is that accent and tone she's using in this role?!! Like where is she supposed to be from?😂
Cockney. It developed as the dialect of the poorer working classes in the East End of London. In England people can tell what class you're from by your accent. So I suppose your laughing face is based on not having heard Cockney before.
Yeah,it's a really bad cockney accent.
The book is much better.
🎯
gol de ferro
Goodness, Betty was terrible with that accent
What a boring, sub-mediocre soap opera. I don't think Maugham, as a homosexual, understood the least thing about true love among heteros, especially given his disturbed and broken childhood and upbringing. His characters never make sense to me and they are often lacking in credible motivations.
Did you read the book?
@@susanjaeger9851 Read 'The Razor's Edge'. It was boring and messed up, too. Notice they didn't put the heroin usage in the film. Gays disproportionately use illegal drugs, by something like a three or four-fold higher rate than the non-gay population.
What are u talking about are u insane, to be a movie made in 1934 its great to me. I guess u can make everyone like something.
