love the movie . i even like most of the actor in it . but and for me ms. davis very poor attempt at an accent and and her stiff acting really make an otherwise compelling movie very hard to watch . seriously if any other modern actor play the same role with the same style a ms. davis they would be laugh off the screen . i really think she phone this one in . now if it have myrna loy or ingrid bergman play the part of the wife i would have enjoy it much more . i guess i just do not get bette davis . i have always think of her a an actor that play herself no matter what role she in . the possible exception be now voyager . i be sure many of the other reviewer will explain in careful ( and i hope civil ) detail how i be totally wrong on this . but and i will continue to watch the movie she in because i like the story or write or support cast and but and i will always be think and of different actress that could have do a good job .
