I love everything Ms. Betty Davis did.. she is an incredible actress , unfortunately Hollywood didn't give her the credit or the money she deserved.. may she R.I.P. 🙏
I don't think Bette Davis was that good.
But I think it's partly because they made her use that Transatlantic accent instead of just using a natural voice like when she first started out.
Her features are not very pretty but she was a decent actress.
I can still remember when she was 80 on the Johnny Carson show and she actually believed that she might make another woman jealous.😂😂😂😂
@@WVgrl59 I am not speaking just about this movie .. I am talking about past movies like ' whatever happened to baby jane' or ' hush hush sweet Charlotte ' that era was Betty Davis time and she was phenomenal
I agree
@@WVgrl59
I think I remember
that one : she looked
quite snooty , I thought...
Ah well...😊🦉🇬🇧💙🇺🇲

Memorably intense.

71 years old. She was in damn good shape. Very fast pace walker, up and down stairs, and ran across lawn unto the drive way to meet her young lawyer. What a dame 💚
She was 73 when this movie was made. Good genes, some people just were lucky. Both my sister and older brother got their Grandfather's and his eldest daughter's, (our Mom's) genes. Myself, my younger brother and sister didn't get them, we're in awful shape and we did nothing different. We aren't all as fortunate as some are.
A little older, she was born in April 1908. It was released in October 1981. Marvelous lady and a brilliant actress.
Being part of a totally broken/alienated family and being married into a broken/alienated family - I envy other's big family get togethers that are full of love, squabbles, laughter and belonging.❤
You feel like you’re watching something regal watching Bett Davis in this film. She gave it everything she had and I love her for it. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy these lovely films.
The UNIQUE Bette Davis ! Yes I shout it out. This was a woman like no one else and never will be. Every film Bette made, she held the forte, she was the No.1 who you remember, in fact Bette made the films. I have not watched one of her films that I can say I did not like, they all stand out no matter how old they are. I am not from the USA so not biased. Bette Davis had Betty Davis Eyes and Bette David was wonderful Actress, you believed in every character she portrayed. We miss you Bette and we will always ❤ you. Thank you for leaving a fantastic legacy we will always treasure. 📽️📺🎞️
Here Here could not of put it any better she was brilliant and superb x
I'm so glad to be able to watch these old movies. Modern film makers should take a lesson.
I can’t even start to explain how much I enjoyed this movie!!!!
No other actress comes close to Betty! I've always loved her!
I can't believe I missed this movie. Thanks for airing it Betty is my favorite.
@@IlonaVince Bette, in every movie, is a treasure to watch! Thanks!
Bette❤Davis lived in my Mother and Fathers first Ranch in the San Fernando Valley, close by to our main Ranch home in Sherwood Forest..both in Northridge. She leased it for a long time. I LOVE ❤😂BETTE...ALWAYS HAVE..ALWAYS WILL.❤
Such a privlege to watch a film with actors who could truly act.....lead by an actress of the quality of Betta Davis.... and a storyline that kept one engaged until the end! They certainly don't make films like this anymore...and so thank you Gem!!!
I so agree! I feel so blessed to have come across this film accidentally.
@srs3572you should watch whales of August, it's also a great movie with bette in her last years! the script is actually incredible.
Absolutely a long and wonderful movie! RIP Betty Davis. ❤
Well, I thought this was going to be a movie that would be resemble watching cold molasses pouring. But not the case. It was like a roller coaster ride of emotions. Great acting and story. I would watch it again. Thank you for the sharing.
The words of a great teacher will a companion you all your life.
That band at the beginning was so right for a school band. Imperfect and realistic
Hands down best actress ever ! May she be now & forever in eternal rest .
Joan Crawford might disagree with you! 😂
Love the actor playing the mailman. He is such a character. Lol.
The film gives the impression that "Winfield" is somewhere in New England. The character of the mailman is typical of a Massachusetts or Maine resident. The movie was filmed (on) near Long Island I believe.
@@Lightsngear You're right. It was indeed filmed on Long Island. Oyster Bay to be exact. Where Teddy Roosevelt's house is located.
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.. The best of all times.
Agreed! I love watching all of their movies!
Meryl Streep is the best of all time
Bette Davis’s acting was soo wooden. Cannot see what the fush was about
Rosalind Russell, too
@@kathleengill994one of the best.
I adore Bette. One of the top actresses of all time. Loved her voice and her expressions. Hell I think her cigarette smoke had more talent then some actors.
all Betty Davis, part Trip To Bountiful, part Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
Sentimental, Nostalgic, Inspiring and imo, absolutely wonderful
I had not seen this movie before, so glad I saw it tonight
Sharing it to my brother. ❤
Oh, my goodness, I *_love_* the reunion and everyone becoming acquainted!!
First time seeing this movie. In my opinion, it’s one of her best performances. I remember the first movie I ever watched with Bette Davis. I don’t know how old I was, but the movie was on TV. I didn’t understand why it didn’t have colors in it. I was very young and I don’t remember very much about those years. But the movie affected me so emotionally and I think that’s why I remember it. It was “Whatever Happened To Baby Jane”. My mom was watching it, that’s how I came across it. I didn’t understand the real difference between a movie & real life. But this is the movie that I remember as being the first movie I ever watched. Over the years I have discovered why I react to certain things in certain ways. My memory of watching it and actually crying at some point, were very real to me. I hated that “Old Lady” and my heart was so sad for her sister in the wheelchair. I didn’t dare let my mom see that I was upset and especially I couldn’t let her see me cry.
📌 Years later, through many years of counseling, I was told that the movie affected me as it had because I had a “kinship” with the Crawford character. I was physically and emotionally abused by my mom. I’m ok now. But I wanted to share that because of how my opinion and feelings towards Bette Davis (still didn’t know that was her actual name). I was very young.
As I grew up & matured, of course I realized that she was only acting, her name wasn’t Jane, but I was still confused about her age. I had seen her being interviewed and she looked so much younger than in the movie 🤦🏻♀️. I still hadn’t matured enough to even “like” her and I refused to watch any other movies she was in (I still hadn’t dealt with my issues at that point). However once I started to heal, and started to actually watch other movies with her (if they were on TV by chance, I let myself enjoy her talent. But I started to respect her as not only an actress, but as a woman who stood up for herself and didn’t take 💩 from anyone, especially the movie studios that made the poor choice of going up against her. I learned that about her from her talk show interviews. I was so impressed by her ability of “take me or leave me! There are others who would love to have me in their movies”. I never thought that she was being egotistical. I thought that she knew her worth, no more. No less. And she wasn’t about to let anyone else decide what she was worth. I think she was one of the best actresses in the history of movies.
PS: Crawford deserved to be treated that way in real life. If she could dish it out….
Both Davis and the drama are superb. Most of the rest of the cast are sufficiently talented to approach her high level of acting achievement.
I admire Bette Davis. She is outspoken, often gruff, but she has earned it! When I was a kid my Mom and I watched her movies all the time. She was so beautiful when she was young, especially with those big beautiful eyes. Hollywood always expected more from women than they did men.
I just love Bette Davis, I have seen this movie before and its a hit and I love (Bette Davis) she is 1 of my favorite Classic Hollywood Movie Stars. If you are reading my comment and you never seen this movie, I believe you will love this story.❤️💯🎥🦋💜
Darling, this not Betty White. This is Bette (with an E) Davis. Her real name was Ruth Elizabeth so she was nicknamed Bette.
Betty Davis not Betty White.
nobody did it better than Betty Davis and Joan Crawford❤❤❤
Nobody did what better than them?
@@QuadriviumNumbers Drama acting❤️❤️❤️ old Hollywood was the best❤️❤️❤️
„Progress“ vs old true values…. It shows exactly why and when modern society went wrong. Marvellous film.
Shame it doesn't say how old the movie is.bette Davis was a great actress.

This was, and still is, a wonderful movie !!
I love Betty Davis the best actress ❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome film i was gripped ,you cant beat the older films and actors in my opinion
Betty Davis didn't always play the bad girl. Now voyage is one of her greatest films ever. Where she is playing a good person. And Pocket full of miracles. She was such a good actress you hated her when she was a villian and loved her as a good person.Now that's a actress to be able to bring out these emotions in the audience.
I absolutely LOVE 'Now Voyager.' I even own it on DVD. Perhaps because the relationship between the mother and Charlotte Vale reminds me so much of me and my own mother.
Now Voyager ✨💗💗💗✨ in my top 3 most loved movies
Wonderful story with the talented and legendary Bette Davis. ❤
This movie is fantastic! I don't think I've ever seen a Bette Davis movie, but I will definitely start watching more! I will also rewatch this one!
Allllll of Bette Davis' movies and her perfect performances have been Rivetting! See as many as you can find, Dear.😊
@@ShogunHull - Little known film of hers (1961) "Pocket full of miracles". A light hearted romp, with lots of heart., She was amazing in everything she did!
Hier will ich 'call from a stranger' empfehlen. Da kommt sie zwar erst ganz am Schluß. Doch sie spielt eine entscheidende Rolle. War begeistert von dem Film.
Only Bette Davis can make mundane movie to heartwarming story. RIP queen.
GREAT MOVIE, BETTE DAVIS AT HER BEST AS USUAL, GREAT STORY AND ACTING ALL THRU OUT, KEPT ME GLUED TO THE SCREEN
This was really a good movie !
I'm shocked at how much I enjoyed this beautiful movie. thank you!
Shocked? Maybe surprised?
I LOVE ANYTHING Betty Davis was in! What a great actress. I miss this era of great acting. All the actors & actresses today are completely FORGETTABLE. I quit going to the movies 25 years ago, with the exception of Clint Eastwood productions and documentaries by indie productions like Angel Studios. Hollywood sucks today.
What an absolutely beautiful movie. This is by far the best movie that I have ever seen. All the characters were perfect.
❤❤❤
Thank you.. I really enjoyed this movie. I am a Bette Davis fan. Love all her movies. Again thank you for sharing.
I never really thought about if i liked bette davis,but i sure have loved all her movies !!! I guess i liked her. 😊
Never liked any role that Bette Davis played until this one .. She did a great job in this part. She always played the " bad " character and this film is such a refreshing change to see that she could pull off protraying the " good " character .. Well done and will watch again ..
wow thankyou for putting this truly heartwarming movie up.
That was really, really, really good!!!! I love Betty Davis!! She goes back quite a ways, but she was a great actress, and was in a great many good films… My 31 year old tonight didn’t know who Betty Davis was, even me bringing up that song with the line “she’s got those Bette Davis eyes”!! He didn’t remember that song either!!! Well, that song came out I found out just now on Google in 1981 by Kim Carnes. And my son wasn’t even born until 1992!!! Anyway, and thank you to any and all that acted in that film and help make the film and bring it to us today!!! It brought a lot up for me about my family, my mother’s side, and my father’s side in Pennsylvania, from years past, and what has happened to all of us, etc.!! ❤. Love, Sister(for we are all brothers and sisters) Gay Michaelis
Bette Davis
...guessing your son is not a fan of adult contemporary hits! I didn't realize the song came out the same year!
The song was released in 1981, before your son was born.
Bette was an excellent artist, one of my favorites, love all her movies. Thanks for sharing.💙🕊🌟
I don’t recall ever seeing this film 😮
Me either!!
I'll watch it now
Me either? I don't remember this.
First time for me. Just when I thought I’d already seen her best performance, I can hear her say “That’s what you think.”
The school band sounds like a school band - bravo. Sometimes they have the studio musicians play it, with perfect intonation and ensemble, and have the kids mime it.
What a beautiful family movie! Thanks for sharing!!!
THAT was simply **FABULOUS!*

Family Reunion is a 1981 American made-for-television drama film directed by Fielder Cook. The teleplay by Allan Sloane was based on the Ladies Home Journal article How America Lives by Joe Sparton. It was produced by Columbia Pictures Television for NBC, which aired it in two parts on October 11 and 12, 1981.
I know. I watched it when it first aired in 1981.

Great movie. She definitely reminds me of some of the teachers I had.
My late mother lived Bette, & introduced me to her, in old black & white movies, when I was about 15. RIP, Ma, and Miss Davis.

ENCANTADORA PELÍCULA, MOSTRANDO LO IMPORTANTE QUE ES LA FAMILIA, Y LA UNIDAD, POR ENCIMA DE LAS DIFERENCIAS Y DE LAS TRANCAS DEL PASADO, NO DEJEN DE VERLA, TAMBIÉN LA ACTUACIÓN DE ESTA ACTRIS, BETTY DAVIS.

Superb acting 👏
LOVELY, thanks for posting this gem.
Excelente actuación. Betty Davis tan elegante . Me encantó la película por su mensaje.
I’ve watched this movie but don’t remember it was that long as indicated 3 hours!! Was it so? I loved it. It was pretty nice and reflected a real slice of life.
It wasn't originally shown on TV in one three hour viewing, it was originally shown in one hour installments over the course of three nights so that is why you probably do not remember it to be as long as it really is!
@@vintageappliguy it was shown over a TWO night period. Both airings in a TWO hour time slot!
As lightsngear said, it was shown over TWO nights on TV in a 2 hour time slot. I know because I watched it back in 1981. All the commercials took up a half hour each night which is what drew it out to 2 hours both nights it was shown.
Standing at the fence of the cemetery she realized her family stabbed in her back.
Took her a while.
Exactly. She needed to go all Baby Jane on them
Very enjoyable indeed!
I remember when this was first televised just loved it
When, what year?
@@daringmore6892 Family Reunion was first shown on tv in 1981 don’t remember if it was around Xmas time
@@pamplayer4086 Mid October.
So do I! I was a junior in high school and watched it both nights! I loved it!
My favorite actriz❤
The person who send that to your boss is jealous of you. That's horrible for them to do. I'm happy your boss stuck with you. Love that sweatshirt
It's sad that very few relatives hugged her upon seeing her.
Well, that's because of all the 'baggage' in her family. Everyone (except perhaps Grover) had some kind of axe to grind. Since Elizabeth was a senior member of the family (and technically became it's matriarch after her older brother George died) they all blamed her in some way.
This is a 3 hour movie. Much of the acting is wooden; it's often as cloying as the worst of the Hallmark tear-jerkers; but I watched it till the end - just for Bette Davis. Of course this is why they put her in it.
thanks i enjoyed it ~*
Thank you Betty I love you thank you
