@@MrBetamax Bette Davis is my 1st Cousin once removed. I had collected about 105 of Bette Davis Movies and shows e en before I realized that fact... But THIS is one I have never seen, oh Thank you, Thank you!
As a Scot, I'm enjoying the adverts more than the movie but it's a fascinating story. BD, who's Betty Davis' daughter, converted to Christianity & started her own "church" in Virginia. I wonder if she got the idea after her mother made this movie. She was more interested in receiving her thithe than talking about her beliefs.
On the Cenntennial of the Foursquare Gospel Church 1923-2023, Aimee Semple McPherson founder. The first time i saw this movie aprox 1977. I am Foursquare church pastor.
Asking respectively...looking back and now today, do you feel the movie was fair, or tried to be fair, (certain scenes you don't see Aimee's face) or the opposite? Not asking you to speak for others, but do you feel then and now today that the Foursquare Church itself and/or other clergy/lay members feel mostly one way or another about this? (Or for some ancient or not to be talked about history?)
Thank you for this gem!!!!! I've always wanted to see the movie that made Bette hate Faye, I just couldn't find it anywhere! I see why Joan loved Faye. She was phenomenal!!! 🤣🤣
Joan loved Faye because they were both nasty, narcissistic, creatures. With that said, their less than desirable personalities has nothing to do with their raw acting ability.
Apparently, it was Faye's behind the scene shenanigans that got under Bette's skin. Faye would either be LATE or they'd have to fuss over make-up because Faye was hung over. I got some of that info from the book Bette and Joan ; the Divine Feud , or from a scene from the mini-series, Feud.
@@lindabranigan2460 Once someone corrected my KJV quote..."earthquakes in divers places." I was told the word is "diverse." I wrote the entire verse and left "divers" in, but added KJV. HOWEVER, "has" and "have" THAT'S another issue. Love you so much! ❤️🙏🏼❤️

Despite de alleged feud between Miss Davis and Miss Joan Crowford, Bette always said what a great pro her co-star in Baby Jane was. Always in time on set, with lines learned and ready to shoot. For her to badmouth Miss Dunaway behavior on set, you must give credit to that. William Holden had the same complaints about her while they were shooting The Towering Inferno. Those old actors were trained at the old studio system, where there were no time for misbehavior.
Davis was the best actress of the 20th century imo. Davis was a diva too during her career. Davis demanded perfection from all, totally understandable. But, Davis wanted to be the director and producer. Davis looking at Faye is seeing herself, that’s why they butted heads.
@@Serai3not only Bette Davis and Brenda Vaccaro, but James Woods made complaints about work8ng with Faye Dunaway too, as did Warren Beatty, when they did Binnie and Clyde. And on Mommie Dearest, two or three of the co-stars said that working her was intolerable.
I am throughly.enjoying.this jewel.wuth 2 greats that are sorely.missed the late Faye Dunaway and of course the legendary Bette Davis watching June 19th in the late afternoon Thank.ypu for this forgotten gem
Holden was a alcoholic who had his share of problems that wrecked his career. And Davis was no saint. She was perfid in just leaving Crawford that sort of comments where all the professionalism she , the GREAT actress, would grant her was knowing her lines and being on set. And she simply felt threatened by Dunaway who was young and beautiful and more talented than just an actress knowing her lines and being on time ( to serve miss Davis, in Davis'view, I suppose but hey! By 1976, Dunaway was the star of the show!)
Fayne doesnt compare to Ms. Davis. She was in a league only shared with several others of her day. Its a joke thinking anyone would put them in the same category. Bette Davis will be idolized forever.
The credits listed Edith Head as in charge of costumes & she did a marvelous job. Most of the costuming in American historical TV dramas are cheap & anachronistic to the point of being distracting
For goodness sake this has never to the best of my knowledge had an official DVD release (has it?) and it features Faye Dunaway and Bette Davis in great roles - how is it possible that it's not been properly marketed - thank you for loading this, if you have a copy on DVD as clear as this, please let us know where we can purchase a copy -
Did you later ask your Pastor why no mention? Her photos/bio used to be in the Foursquare hymnals and other literature. For some it was ancient history, rarely discussed as being irrevelant or negative or both. For others the words/actions in the gospel were important, rather than the actions of people a century ago.
Although she's quite good I don't think Faye Dunaway really captured the true Sister Aimee. I'm surprised this hasn't been remade for the Big Screen as every actress today would kill for a role like Aimee and Minnie Kennedy. Interesting that the movie eliminates both of Aimee's children, Roberta and Rolf, from the whole story. Perhaps because they were both very much alive at the time. I think at least some of the tension between Dunaway and Davis was because Davis had long tried to make a movie about Aimee and the censors of the time wouldn't let her. A fascinating movie is "Miracle Woman" from 1931 starring the excellent Barbara Stanwyck, super interesting because the real Aimee was very much in her prime and obviously this movie was absolutely done with "Sister" in mind!
That's not really fair. Christians are to follow Christ, not other 'Christians'. If Jim and Tammy were ever genuine believers or not, I'll leave that to God. They didn't do the Name of Christ or His church any favors, that's true enough. But I'm not going to base my salvation on someone else's actions. It would be like saying, "I'm not going to college because some people cheat on their exams and get away with it." That's their problem.
For the life of me I couldn't spot out Barry Brown. He was in the movie Bad Company along with Jeff Bridges. Maybe he played the San Francisco newspaperman? Sadly he became a major alcoholic and took his life at a young age. His brother James wrote a compelling (but depressing) book called The Los Angeles Diaries.
It may well have been as it was made in 1976 and Channel 4 didn't appear till November 82. This was a big tv movie in it's day so would have been broadcast in the UK shortly after it's US broadcast
Thanks - finally I’ve watched this one - made harder no doubt because of Davis’s obvious dislike of Dunaway but as a film - well - it should have been made in the 30’s or 40’s - the storyline suits that more innocent era and style of drama of the directing - for a 70’s audience it’s just absurd and uninteresting - I found myself not caring at all about Aimee, whether she did anything or whether she was punished or not.
Davis disliked Dunaway because she was incredibly inconsiderate by being very late to the set and even causing hundreds of extras to wait in a sweltering church. Bill Holden also found her very unprofessional on the set of The Towering Inferno.
00:12:16 Notice Dunaway sees that she is the first to rise, and the last to sit. She is THE STAR, dammit! (Plus the turn she does at the door 01:39:24 so you always see her FACE)
1:39:26 Bette (in her mind): Christ! Why would I have lunch with you? Between you and Crawfish, you are the worst costar I have had. At least Crawfish was a professional AND on time!
So good to finally see the film that made Miss Davis hate Dunaway. Those aren't my thoughts regarding the hate, it's on tape, multiple instances of her saying so.
Bette Davis often spoke about how much she hated Fate Dunaway because of her behaviors and nonprofessionalism on the set of this film watching Davis's Carson interview brought me here
I like this movie a little more every time I see it. I can also detect why, after playing the role of Aimee, Faye would want and would be chosen to portray Joan Crawford in "Mommie Dearest'. They both represent the same type of ambitious and obsessive Hollywood creations. And I always find the story of how the movie industry became intertwined with and then eventually co-opted the Evangelical movement prevalent in California at that time. Allegedly, one big Hollywood insider (I can't remember if it was Douglas Fairbanks Sr, but if not, someone like him) who said to her after witnessing one of her sermons, 'You think you're a minister, but you're not. You're actually an actress."
Such a tragedy when the Gospel is ‘ marketed ‘ in such a distasteful way. She or ‘they’ might be sincere in their faith, but it’s the fashion in which their zeal is portrayed. What a shame.
This film was one of the most boring films I have ever seen and I can understand why Bette Davis said Faye Dunasway was the most Unprofessional Person she had ever worked with and Faye was a Terrible Actress....I have to agree....Faye could not act and this movie was so boring a such a waste of film and time........What A DUMP!..........Im surprised Bette even wanted to be in it.....She needed the money by then because her career was in the toilet too......
@1:20:28 I wonder why the British company Harveys cast Americans to pitch a British product to a British audience. To the best of my recollection - Harveys never even sold this Sherry mixer product in the USA, so it is not like they were cost cutting and just recycling an ad they already made for an American audience
Is this the film where Faye Dunaway caused Bette Davis to call her the most unprofessional worst actor she's ever worked with? And would never work with her again?
It's early in but I see some of these scenes and I'm thinking Elmer Gantry. Same idea? YUP. Show woman, who used the Gospel as a platform for her own ego. There's a bitter irony, though. Aimee was left to wonder.... if it wasn't me, then he's either gone back to his wife or there's another woman. What a tangled web.
So this is the movie Bette Davis did with Faye Dunaway, when she said she had a horrible experience with Faye on this movie, and that Faye was... in her words " Faaaaaye Duunaway was totally unprofessional." This is the first time I'm seeing this movie I only saw Bette Davis in old interviews calling her out about the movie they did together. Isn't ironic that Bette Davis and Joan Crawford had a bad relationship, and didn't get along, and Bette never mixed words about Joan...but that The same women who would later go on to play Joan in a movie called (Mommie Dearest) would Also have contentious relationship with Bette Davis. It's so eerie in a way.
sister Aimee led a lot of people to the Lord and God did many great miracles thru her prayers for those who were battling sicknesses. She was first to do Christian radio , she made mistakes was a light in dark city. Her churches fed many hungry people during the Great Depression. should not have married her third husband. the disappearance is controversial, she was a show man but my point is she was did a lot of good things and help many people. She paid a price of surrender that many Christians are not willing to. Hollywood has always been a cesspool of gossip and vice. God can use any imperfect vessel , just ask yourself if you have eternal security is your heart right with God? Have you trusted Jesus as your Lord and savior?
God can use anyone...today many are lost because they worship an unregistered sex offender with a porn star wife. No. God isn't using him, Satan is. Obviously.
If you check the biographies Davis mentored many young actors and actresses and remained lifelong friends with many of her costars. It's only the ones she didn't get along with we hear about
I don't know- she really only detested Miriam and Dunaway, the nonsense with Crawford was blown up to sell tickets, which it did! She had wonderful friendships with DeHaviland, Joan Blondell, Myrna Loy, Anne Baxter, and others. Don't know about Faye, though it sounds plausible- I know that Wyler wanted to kill Miriam during 'The Heiress', and she thoroughly hated Bette just as much as the other way around! I also read in their bios that Stanwyck, and Irene Dunne, weren't terribly fond of Bette, though I don't think Bette gave either a thought! And she thought Lana Turner was a fiend, though she would never say why, and took it to her grave!
Where is Heaven and where is Hell? Right here on Earth of course, all the other planets in our solar system are dead places unable to sustain any life forms whatsoever.

My Mother saw her show in California and she was awed by it. She had never seen anything like her or the show Aimee put on.
Anthony Quinn said she was the most fascinating woman he ever saw...Garbo, Hepburn, Dietrich, NONE of them had the presence/power she did.

to Martha Mansbridge - Yours is a very astute comment. I agree 100%.
These are not US commercials, I recognize almost nothing, and I was 21 in 1976. Strange.
That's because it was transmitted and recorded off air in the UK.

This film was one of the most boring films I have ever seen and I can understand why Bette Davis said Faye Dunasway was the most Unprofessional Person she had ever worked with and Faye was a Terrible Actress....I have to agree....Faye could not act and this movie was so boring a such a waste of film and time........What A DUMP!..........Im surprised Bette even wanted to be in it.....She needed the money by then because her career was in the toilet too......
So what is the truth then?
The Bible
1:07 It's Kalsha Klegg... Let Patsy refresh yer memory... (Knock, knock, knock) Room service I brought something hot up...
@1:20:28 I wonder why the British company Harveys cast Americans to pitch a British product to a British audience. To the best of my recollection - Harveys never even sold this Sherry mixer product in the USA, so it is not like they were cost cutting and just recycling an ad they already made for an American audience
He lied for her, but she lost him.
Is this the film where Faye Dunaway caused Bette Davis to call her the most unprofessional worst actor she's ever worked with? And would never work with her again?
Yes, it was. James Woods confirmed what Davis said about Dunaway's uncooperative snd unprofessional behavior
It's early in but I see some of these scenes and I'm thinking Elmer Gantry. Same idea? YUP. Show woman, who used the Gospel as a platform for her own ego. There's a bitter irony, though. Aimee was left to wonder.... if it wasn't me, then he's either gone back to his wife or there's another woman. What a tangled web.
Seriously needs to be remade into a comedy.
I'm deceased and reassured.this is so Hilarious 😂 a joke a comedy bahahahahaha she was such a nutcase 🤣 .I'm like a lamb led to the slaughter wtheck 😂
So this is the movie Bette Davis did with Faye Dunaway, when she said she had a horrible experience with Faye on this movie, and that Faye was... in her words " Faaaaaye Duunaway was totally unprofessional."
This is the first time I'm seeing this movie I only saw Bette Davis in old interviews calling her out about the movie they did together.
Isn't ironic that Bette Davis and Joan Crawford had a bad relationship, and didn't get along, and Bette never mixed words about Joan...but that The same women who would later go on to play Joan in a movie called (Mommie Dearest) would Also have contentious relationship with Bette Davis.
It's so eerie in a way.
sister Aimee led a lot of people to the Lord and God did many great miracles thru her prayers for those who were battling sicknesses.
She was first to do Christian radio , she made mistakes was a light in dark city.
Her churches fed many hungry people during the Great Depression.
should not have married her third husband.
the disappearance is controversial, she was a show man but my point is she was did a lot of good things and help many people.
She paid a price of surrender that many Christians are not willing to.
Hollywood has always been a cesspool of gossip and vice.
God can use any imperfect vessel , just ask yourself if you have eternal security is your heart right with God? Have you trusted Jesus as your Lord and savior?
Thank you for making such a wise comment ... the church organiation she started saved my family from ruin
God can use anyone...today many are lost because they worship an unregistered sex offender with a porn star wife. No. God isn't using him, Satan is. Obviously.
Jeez, get over yourself!!
Wonder why Bette disliked so many other movie stars
Jealous of young pretty actresses like Faye
If you check the biographies Davis mentored many young actors and actresses and remained lifelong friends with many of her costars. It's only the ones she didn't get along with we hear about
Davis was very professional and considerate of her coworkers, she felt others should be the same. Rightfully so.
I don't know- she really only detested Miriam and Dunaway, the nonsense with Crawford was blown up to sell tickets, which it did! She had wonderful friendships with DeHaviland, Joan Blondell, Myrna Loy, Anne Baxter, and others. Don't know about Faye, though it sounds plausible- I know that Wyler wanted to kill Miriam during 'The Heiress', and she thoroughly hated Bette just as much as the other way around! I also read in their bios that Stanwyck, and Irene Dunne, weren't terribly fond of Bette, though I don't think Bette gave either a thought! And she thought Lana Turner was a fiend, though she would never say why, and took it to her grave!
He Lied!
Only inAmerica.
Where is Heaven and where is Hell? Right here on Earth of course, all the other planets in our solar system are dead places unable to sustain any life forms whatsoever.
JESUS IS RETURNING SOON!
ST JOHN 3:16! ❤
HALLELUJAH! ❤️✝️❤️
Fanaticism is still strong and driving the MAGA cult, the war in Gaza, etc. This movie is relevant always.
I love to see how Bette did not like Faye at all 🤣
