BETTE DAVIS & GENA ROWLANDS "STRANGERS " 1979 10/10

- The First Lady of the American Screen, Bette Davis, earned the 1979 Best Actress Emmy Award (Prime Time, Limited Series or Special) for her work opposite Gena Rowlands, the Queen of Independent Cinema, in the outstanding made-for-TV classic "Strangers: The Story of A Mother And Daughter". Rarely been seen since its May 1979 broadcast, it marks a vital point in the career of Hollywood's greatest actress as it is one of the high points of Miss Davis's "Silver Age", when she played rich parts in some of the most acclaimed television productions of the mid-1970s through the early 1980s. Three decades after its broadcast and two decades after Bette's passing, "Strangers" remains a superb and resonant human drama, deservedly comparable to Ingmar Bergman's "Autumn Sonata" and James L. Brooks's "Terms of Endearment". I hope that my fellow Bette fans will continue to cherish one of her last great performances and films.

I really love Gena's subtle yet powerful performance. It was so natural.
I just read all of the comments people have left here, years later, and I want to THANK YOU ALL for them! I cannot agree more: this is one of the greatest films ever to grace television, and Miss Davis and Miss Rowlands are two of the greatest actors ever to grace film. I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to know how much people seeing this on TH-cam love it, and I join you all in anxiously awaiting a proper DVD!!
well my comment wasn't done.. B D I am reading your book right now. Chapter 11. I love it! I am almost 70 and just started taking an interest in reading about your mother. If this gets to you, I would love to hear from you! love to you!
These scenes between them are so great. FEW actresses today could carry them off with such convincing emotion.
Wonderful....nothing like these two in modern day now; no television made movies like this one either!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT MOVIE The acting is out of this world. One cares about the both of them and the fact that they made up in the end and said I Love you just breaks the heart!
It will never be better than Davis and Rowlands... it wouldn't be possible.
never
Two of my favorite actresses together. Magic.
Gina Rowlands always has been exceptional.
Gena Rowlands has always been a compliment to the movies that she was in , because of her beauty and grace and her bravura acting talent. She was a fine lady and i will miss her very much. I am happy , though , that she and her beloved , John are together in Heaven. I hope i get the pleasure of meeting them , when i get there. They were an awesome couple. God bless them.
@@kristinapisciotta1982 Gina is still alive!
@@kristinapisciotta1982 Gena is 90 yrs old now. Just turned June 2020. She married again in 2012, she was in her 80's wow.👍
@@oriethompson I checked for myself too. I think people get the impression she's gone after watching Notebook. Her acting is "That" good 👱🏻♀️❤💗
Absolutely so.
I've wanted to see this movie for over 20 years. Never thought about checking TH-cam until tonight. So glad to finally see it. Even though i knew the plot, it still tore out my heart. I cried many times. I needed a cathartic experience. Thank you for this. 🌹
Lovely film. I remember watching this on Mother's Day in 1979. Davis really turned in a nuanced performance, and so did Gena Rowlands. A very deserving Emmy Award for Miss Davis...and I love the music!
It's 4am...I can't believe I watched the whole thing! It was worth it!!
What a perfectly matched set of actresses to play these parts. So glad I found this tonight!
Oh my God. What a great ending. What a magnificent film.
My God ...what a beautiful story..
Thank you for posting this touching movie! My original motivation to watch it was Bette but Gena Rowland whom I have never heard of was equally brilliant! I love small budget independent films and this is a great example on how good they can be. Now if you will excuse me I have to call my mother...
GREAT MOVIE and great performances by both actresses. Their relationship reminds me of mine and my mother's. We never were close but when she died 4 years ago i had visited her 3 years in a row until the year she died. it would have been nice to be close to her, but as I've gotten older I've realized people are who they are and won't change because you want them to.
Bette Davis is as usual flawless. She is the best
wow! so great and made me cry wishing i had a second chance with my mother..
Dear BD, if you're still here I want so very much to thank you for putting this up. I too watched this years ago and had a VHS tape (from TV) until I accidentally threw it out with several others. I longed to see this again but the times I tried on Amazon the sellers wanted a lot of money. I don't know why it took me so long to see if this was on TH-cam. Thankfully, today I thought about it again and gave it a try. When I saw that you had the entire movie right here, I started it and lo and behold, I just finished it....floods later. Can't help it I love this movie and I remembered so much of it, like it was yesterday. I could even quote lines before they were spoken. I am very grateful to you for this. Thank you, thank you!!!
What an excellent movie! I miss wonderful, creative works like this with true feeling. The caliber of these two actresses will never be repeated again! I miss the good old days of quality entertainment. Thanks for sharing this wonderful film.
Fred Karlin's score is so memorable.
I love it. It was the cherry on top of such wonderful acting performances by two legends.
Bette Davis is world famous, but Gena Rowlands SHOULD be also.
My God. What a marvelous movie. It tore me to pieces.
Aw, what a LOVELY movie this was. And I didn't even meant to watch it at the moment, I was looking for something else, but this appeared, I just tried to "taste" this and I watched the whole film =D. Certainly don't regret it, AMAZING. Thank you SO much for sharing. Bette was wonderful and so was Ms. Rowlands. Glad to see a movie with "older" Bette. I've always prefered her films from +- 40s. THANK YOU.
Wow! I loved Bette Davis in this.
A nice movie, two wonderful actresses.
I haven't seen this since it was first shown in 1979. Loved it then and love it now. Thanks for posting.
The saddest part of the movie. So moving.
A beautiful movie ...
Great movie. Saw it years ago, COVID Watching. 🙏
Stunning performances 👏
Bette was awesome.
as always
What a great film. Could've watch it for eternity! Rowlands and Davis, no better combination.
What a wonderful little film. As a daughter and mother to one, it touched me very deeply. Thank you.
I'm an actor and the work that Ms Davis and Miss Rowlands done on this film was extraordinary. I can only hope that I can be a tad as great of an actor as these two legends. Just a wonderful movie and portrayal. I absolutely adore them both! First time seeing this film :)
Thank you so much for uploading this! The laughter, the tears - this was just wonderful.
That was so good! It is a shame they didn't do more together. There is so much symbolism and raw emotion within this movie Days have gone by bringing happy memories.
Excellent taste with 2 great actresses, a deep relationship & profound statement on failed & restored family relationships ! THANK YOU !
Oh my gosh, this is such precious gem of a movie! Both Gena and Bette did a hell of a job in this. Truly, they are remarkable actresses. I enjoyed this so much I feel like getting up and doing a happy dance.
beautiful movie, thank you for the upload, what a gem!
Bless them both 🙏❤️❤️
It's a rainy day in Grenada and I saw this and followed it what a beautiful movie powerful deep clean strong actresses .. love Betty Davis
Such a beautiful story,such a wonderful movie.So moving,so true.At this age Bette Davis gives her best performance.The most important and complicated relationship,the one with your mother.Thank you so for posting it!
Today's films don't give one that much needed cry, but this one sure worked for me. I never heard of this film nor did I know that Gena Rowland's, one of my truly favorite actresses, starred with the wonderful Bette Davis. What a winning combination! This should be shown on PBS, soon! I will long remember this film and story. I look forward to watching it again and sharing with friends. They both deserve Oscars! Thank you!
Truly one of the best films I've ever seen Bette Davis in or Gena Rowlands !! I don't think I've ever seen Bette Davis give such a mesmerizing or more subdued performance than in this gem, when Bette toned it down, she was the very best !! A great film !! ☺️☺️😊😊😄😄😃😃😀😀
What a brilliant portrayal for both actressess. Thank you for sharing this great film.
A very moving film two amazing actors. Bette Davis Wonderfull as always
Soooo beautiful - thank you!
It looks like I have to come here every year to watch this wonderful ending. Beautiful.
Thankyou for posting this wonderful movie. I remember watching it with my mother.
I still cry at the "birthday" dinner scene. Two of the best in the business.
I wonder if Dear Bette was thinking about her own estranged daughter at the end?
Thanks for sharing.
They got estranged in the late 80s
Meu Deus que filme genial. Um presente para ambas e um show de atuação para nós.
Two of my favorite actors. What a soul felt film. Absolutely, wonderfully sad. Suburb! Drew some tears, for sure.
I wish my stupid son would be once as patient and loving to me...
my two favorite stars in the best made for TV movie ever....what a treat this was...the ending gets to me every time...thank you again for sharing....
Thanks for posting!
I think if this movie had been released in the movie theater, Bette would've won her third Oscar. In her lifetime she was the best actress! Since her passing, Meryl Streep has taken over.
What a great movie!! Thank you for showing it!
What a gem! Such honesty!
Thank you...
Thank you so much for posting this brilliant and touching film with these amazing and truly wonderful actresses: Ms Rowlands & Ms Davis
Great movie and superb acting. Thanks for posting this gem!

Such a beautifully done movie!
Thanks for sharing it.
Wonderful movie! I admire both actresses and it was so lovely seeing them in the same movie together! Thank you so much for the upload!
Merci
I have never seen this movie or even heard of it. Gena Rowlands is one of my favorite actreses and of course Betty Davis is the all time great actress. Well after this scene I wept like a baby, I did not expect to react in that way. Excellent actresses!
"actreses" "Betty"
Just can't believe the mother never visited
Thank you 🌹
I didn't know of this movie before. Thanks for sharing, it's excellent.
Wonderful! Thank you for posting--I have never seen this until now:).
WOW! This was a beautiful movie, thanks for sharing :)
Wish I had seen this when it was first on TV--might have spent more quality time in my own mother's garden.
Thank you so much for posting this. I remember this vividly from when it was shown, had recorded it on an old VHS tape which since disintigrated. Never thought Id see it again. What a pleasure...Miss Davis and Miss Rowlands together. Amazing.
*disintegrated
Amazing!!!!!
loved it-ty
Many thanks, enjoyed this movie!!! A must see Bette Davis movie!!! :)
thanks for posting ,i've not seen this since it 1st came on tv,but i remember how good it was
This has meant so much to me, thank you very much for sharing!
Thank you so much . This means much now that i saw this !!
PRICELESS This should been show Mother's Day does anyone else agree?
Will do! Thanks!
THANK YOU so much for posting this Gem! I totally lost it at 5:25 of section 10. What a movie and what actresses! BD and GR were several generations behind me ... wow, what a story! Thank You again! I wonder where this was filmed? The story seemed to embody a common dynamic between child and parent. A real treat!
Why Why WHY isn't this gem on DVD?
Because not enough people would buy it
If you Google it, you will find one. I did. It's dubbed from a vhs tape, but better than nothing.
Has anyone uploaded the full movie to TH-cam? I would love to see it - I read that Gena Rowlands is especially proud of it. Two legends of the big screen - wonderful!
A very sad film.
5:07 - 5:13 That's damn good acting.
Where is the rest of it? It only goes so far...
After all this time still no dvd or download,why?
Google it on dvd. There are companies that burn it to dvd. I have one.
wish I could see it all and NOT in 10 pieces????
Director?
2 of my favorite actresses & U don't like the movie.
@hepburn83 I agree
Davis was always more interesting as she got older. Not much into her stuff from the 30's, 40's... from the 60's onward, she's her best.
This actually would have been a blockbuster big screen movie, but alas, even by the late 1970s, the film industry had cheapened itself into schlocky productions while choosing to focus only on younger actors and actresses.
Crap! Something got in my eyes.
Oh....it was a very subtle end...the rest was ony implied....being a Hospice nurse I expected to see the blood and guts of the whole dying process.......but I guess regular people don't care to see that...
Love Bette and Gena, but just look at Bette's circles under her eyes!...mmm...
Kirk Barkley what do you expect she's an older lady for god sakes she had to be close to 80... so the only hmmm is how stupid your comment is
