Outstanding Bette Davis film of 1934. Davis gives one of the best performances imaginable, as Mildred the cockney ed, cocktail waitress, bored and frustrated with life, who unleashes utter havoc to Leslie Howard, who befriends her, in a memorable tirade.
Davis sure proved that she was entitled to outstanding roles after this film. The venom that she let loose at a poor unsuspecting Howard was memorable. How she screamed that he made her sick and how much she hated him. How she tried to wipe away from her mouth any reminders of his touching her, this was truly an amazing display of acting. Ironically, Miss Davis was not nominated for a best actress Oscar here. When she failed to be nominated, she became a heavy write-in candidate. That practice is now barred by Academy rules.
As the victimized suitor, Howard showed the right temperament. Again, he showed himself as an Ashley Wilkes-like character-subordinate and easily dominated.
