All This And Heaven Too
Warner Brothers, 1940

In this film Bette is sweet, soft spoken and docile. A great change-of-pace for the legendary actress. She has excellent chemistry with her leading man, Charles Boyer, (in their only film together). Barbara O'Neil, is the nasty character in this one. Bette plays the governess to Boyer's children. Their mother played by Barbara O'Neil, hates her children and only wants to hang onto her husband for security. Bette is scorned because its rumored that her character and Boyer had an affair. Its Bette at her melodramatic best. Max Steiner's musical score was never better.

The Cast includes:

• Bette Davis .... Henriette Deluzy-Desporte
• Charles Boyer .... Theo, Duc de Praslin
