CLASSIC MOVIE REVIEW: Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins have a field day as two friends who support, love and battle each other over work, men, marriage and through World War II in Vincent Sherman’s “Old Acquaintance” (1943). Taken from the Broadway hit, the film was hampered by the continual in-fighting between its two stars who couldn’t stand one another. This antagonism helped their performances and made it one of the biggest hits of Bette’s career. STEVE HAYES: Tired Old Queen at the Movies

Knowing how they felt about each other made the movie even better.
Absolutely.
I love the Bette Davis impression,makes me laugh every time
Thank you Sir hayes! Hope you are well and safe!
Miriam Hopkins was probably the only Actress in Hollywood willing to actually stand up to Bette Davis, and she did it very well!
Well, either way, it wasn't a love match, that's for sure. Thanks for watching! Steve
This is a great movie. My favorite part is when Bette shakes Miriam Hopkins, then says “Sorry” too funny 😂
I think she'd have preferred to have grabbed and throttled her a little higher. LOl!
Can't imagine anyone but Bette and Miriam in these roles.
I agree. They tried to do an updated remake with Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergan in the late 70's called " Rich and Famous" directed by George Cukor, but it didn't have half the sparkle. Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
Bette shaking Miriam like that will forever be one of the funniest things she’s done in a film ever
She really couldn't wait to do it and Miriam goi g limp took alot of the fun out of it for her. .
“I want you to be the first to look down on my book” boy, what a line!
Yeah, it's got some great lines and is a terrific vehicle for both actresses! Thanks! Steve
Man, you nail ( ONLY A MANNER OF SPEAKING, Mr. Hayes ) Bette Davis completely and repletely. Fabulous.
Thank you so much!
I totally agree. He makes me laugh when he bats his eyes 😂🤣🤣
This has become one of my favourite films, I love Miriam and Bette in this and it makes it even more enjoyable to know how much they disliked each other in real life! Thanks so much for introducing me to this highly entertaining movie Steve, and your Bette Davis impression just kills me!! 😂
Awww, thanks Helen. I like this one too and you're right, the dynamics between the two are heightened considerably by their off stage fued. And yet, when they sit back and otoast in the new year togthere and the score rises, I always get a lttle teary. I'm a sucker for those old fashioned Hollywood finales. Happy Summer! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Aww, me too! Happy Summer, Steve!
Excellent review, Steve, as always!! I loved the line when Kit tracked down Deirdre to her beau's apartment and knows she's hiding behind a dressing screen: "Come out from behind that screen." "How did you know I was there?" "I've been hiding behind screens since before you were born." 😂
I know. The dialgiue was so witty and sophisticated. Kit is such a great character and so wise of Bette to chose to play her.
I love your Bette! you always make me smile!
always glad when you post a new review!
Thank you so much!
👌 Yes,me too! The BD impersonation. 😁😁😁😁😁
I just realized that "Tired old queen at the movies" fits perfectly in the first phrase of the intermission tune, "Let's all go to the lobby." Much love to you Steve (from another old queen, dear).
Well, it's nice to know that we're all out there and reigning supreme! LOL! Thanks for watching! Steve
Bette and Miriam are great combo. Great one liners too!
I've looked at this several times just to see Steve do his wonderful impression of Bette Davis. I love it. Funny and the way he flutters his eyes, hilarious. Steve, do more of Bette Davis. It is so entertaining.
I willif you keep watching. Deal? OXOX
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Deal!
BRAVO STEVE!!!!
For many years, Broadway legend Chita RIVERA was my neighbor in NYC. According to her, when she lost the role of Anita in WEST SIDE STORY to Rita MORENO, and Rita won a supporting Oscar for the role, Chita was devastated. NOT because Rita MORENO won the Oscar, but because she wore the EXACTO costume Chita wore on the stage. I think deep down she knew she couldn't compete with MORENO'S natural born beauty....
Miriam had every right to hate BETTE. BUT, deep down she knew BETTE was the better actress.
Miriam had a wonderful run in the early thrities before Bette came on the scene. But Miriam was her own worst enemy, vene before her problems with Bette and became more and more difficult to work with . In fact, Willie Wyler, who'd worked with her in "These Three", offered her the supoorting role in "The Heiress", which was a comeback for Miriam into important pictures again. However, he made it clear he wouldn't put up with any of her usual shenanigans . She behaved and he used her again in 'Carrie" and "the Children's Hour".
I just watched this movie. I found the same TCM four-pack DVD case that you show in your video at an estate sale and had to have it. Now, Voyager is one of my favorite Bette Davis movies, so is Dark Victory. But I'd never seen Old Acquaintance before.
LOVED it!! Loved the shaking scene! And Bette was just magnificent in this movie. A tower of strength and self-sacrifice!
Thanks for the review, Steve!
I know! Don't you just love making discoveries like this! Such a good buy, Mike! I love the final fade out with them relaxed, looking at the fire and the score playing "Auld Lang Syne" as the camera pans away. Bette Davis Heaven! Have you seen "A Stolen Life? " Another surprise goodie as are ;"The Great Lie " and "The Corn Is Green"...keepin' you busy with Bette, Buddy! Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
@@stevenhayes4063 - I saw your review of A Stolen Life and it very much intrigued me. So I'm on the prowl for it! :) Just keep the 'Bette's' coming, Steve!
I always enjoy your reviews and the behind the scenes stories. Ms Davis is my all time favorite! I never tire watching her in any age. Your Bette impression is impressive. I remember after watching 'old acquaitance' on tv, I started doing her in my daily highschool life. My classmates thought I was going crazy :D
Hilarious! I can imagine your teachers! Thanks for watching!
Thanks. The thing is, Bette Davis said that Miriam Hopkins genuinely had talent, and did not need to resort to all her tricks and shenanigans. Cheers.
Cheers to you too!
I love, love, love, me some Steve Hayes.
Hooray! Lucky me!!!!
Isn't he a doll?!!!!
Love love love Bette Davis in anything I love Old Acquaintances....
So do I! I love it when they piy her opposite a strong actress. She liked it too, although Miriam gave her no end of headaches off and on the set. Steve
Interesting choice, once again, Steve! I die every time you do your Bette Davis impressions.
Thanks. I love this film. Bette made 'em work!
Me too!! I have watched this and Hush Hush over and over.. You are hysterical
Love the boxing gloves. Miriam has a smirk on her face but Bette has pure hatred on hers lol.
This is a brilliant movie, every minute of it is a complete joy.
I think so too!
Thank you for a new (old) review. I never tire of seeing your imitation of 'La Bette'! You do it so well! Yes, this is a fun film!
It is!!!
Best. Bette. Davis. Impression. Ever.
You put a "Twinkler" in my eye! Thanks so much!
Steve you are at your all time best when reviewing a Betty Davis movie...BRAVA!!
I love her. Glad you do too!
Miriam Hopkins had plenty of reasons not to care for Bette Davis. Miriam Hopkins was the most favorite Actress of Ernst Lubitsch and Miriam Hopkins made 5 films for the greatest Director in Hollywood..
Steve, I had to play this over again and again just to see your impersonation of Bette Davis. It was great, but I wanted more of it. Please do a video being Bette Davis. You do it so well and it is so much fun to watch. Oh yes, I enjoyed this film and I like both actresses especially after seeing Miriam Hopkins in a 1931 film called "24 Hours" She sings two torch songs and she shines in this film.
TLOL! Thanks but...here are enough Bette Davis impersonators already out there. I think I'll stick with doing snippets here and there to get you to watch the films.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Ok! You never even mentioned 24 Hours 1931 with Miriam Hopkins singing torch songs.
Hello Steve! Another outstanding review! I thought your Alfred Hitchcock impression was great but you really hit it out of the park with Betty!
Happy New Year to you Johnny and the rest of the crew! 😃👍
So glad you like it!
I can't remember the last time I saw this movie. I've forgotten what a treat it is. Your description and back story had me roaring with laughter. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thanks!
Gorgeous Miriam was huge star in 1930s pre-code Hollywood and when Bette won her first Oscar, one of the actresses she beat that year was Miriam. By the time they made The Old Maid, in 1939, Miriam's career was almost over and Bette was the queen of the Warner's lot. No wonder she hated her. Check out 1966's The Chase (Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda) to see a few seconds of Miriam playing Robert Redford's mother.
I have. I may do "The Chase" one day. Miriam was a wonderful actress when her own shenanigans didn;t hget in her way.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I'm a total fan - I love your work! The Chase was such a mess, but so many pretty faces ...Angie Dickinson, Janice Rule, Martha Hyer, Brando, Redford, Fonda ... it ended up a sloppy disaster. No one could do it better than you, if you get a chance someday.
Steve, this is one of my favorites! They may have truly hated one another but Davis & Hopkins' chemistry together is brilliant!!! The Old Maid is definitely another fave of mine!
Though the other is the more famous, I've always liked this one better. "The Old Mid" is too self-sacrificing for my taste. I also I like Bette's character in "Old Aquaintance" so much and apparantly so did she. She always thought this character was the most like herself...which, from what I've read and heard, is somewaht debateable. However, I love the way it looks at the importamce of friendships, the toll they can take , the drifting apart and then getting back together, the importance of letting go and most importantly, of forgiveness. Big life lessons, displayed in such a enjoyable context. Happy Holidays and thanks so much for watching! Best Wishes; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Thank you, Steve 😁 I agree with your observation about Bette's character in TOM; she should have stood up for herself much more! And you're right; OA offers many good observations about friendship & shared memories. Hope you enjoy the holidays as well!!!
@@Modguy61 Have a wonderful New Year and watch as many classic movies as you can! Happy Holidays! SteveI will!
You are neither tired nor old! Love your videos. Caught "Old Aquaintance" free online and it's a GREAT movie. Thanks for posting your reviews. They're GREAT too and .....so are you!
Awww Matt, you are too kind. Thank you!
Thank you for introducing me to Steve Hayes. He is FABULOUS. The best reviewer (and entertainer) ever. xoxo
Thanks so much amd thank you for watching! Happy Holidays, Best Wshes and I hope you subscribe. Steve
Steve! ❤️ you always Pick Winners! 🤩.. I am not a Gambler

You are the Best 💕 from Antonio
Hello Steve, Im 28 and think your amazing! keep just the good work!
Thank you, Samantha!
Steve, you are an absolute riot! Have you thought about putting out a Gag Reel?? Some of your craziest outtakes?
Anyway, bidding you a very Happy Fall!
🕸🕷🍁🌰🍂🦃
I love you man! I wish we were friends!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That scene was such a pleasure to watch. Another great video, Steve!
I love you Steve, makes my day always when I see you amazing and funny film reviews of the golden days of Hollywood. X Derek
My pleasure. Thank you, Derek!
That picture of Miriam and Bette was from "The Old Maid".
Thanks from Stockholm! You are a real treasure
So are you and love to you and Sweden, as always!
Steve your the man! We need you to do more! Your movie reviews are the best!!!! love ya dollface!
Awww David, thanks so much!
Where were you all my life? Very entertaining backstories.
Oh, I've been around...and around...and... Thanks for watching!
I watched this movie and The Old Maid almost back to back. Loved that the role of the bad girl was switched.
Yes! So good!
Happy New Year Steve and Johnny! As always love your videos and in constant awe of your vocal impressions which are spot on. Best of luck this year and hope you get a well deserved hosting gig somewhere as you deserve it!
Thank you so much!
Finally watched this for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised on how good it was. Davis as always gives a consummate performance. All are good, but Davis showed how skillfully she can portray a genuinely vulnerable and sympathetic character. Despite the two hating eachother, it never really shows on screen. Maybe just enough to create the needed tension between the two leading ladies. Another great film, another great review!
I've always been partial to this one. Bette used to say that this character was most like her...it wasn't, but it's a nice character to model yourself as. Thans for watching! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Too Funny! Yeah, I've watched enough clips/interviews on, or about Davis to know she was nothing like this in real life. But I can see why she would of liked to of seen herself this way. That said, I always thought Bette came across like a good Mom, definitely someone who loved her kids. But that's where the similarities end. Bette, like Crawford were both complex creatures, so I'm able to see past all the melodrama and appreciate them for their work. So glad you're doing shorts/reels now. Keep up the fabulous reviews!
What a great review, Steve you are a national treasure, TCM should grab you with both hands xx
Well, thank you so much!
Fantastic review. All the best in the new year!
Why, thank you!
Steve, you r a lifeline for us. I could listen to your impressions all day long. You kill (the good way)🙂🙂🙂😊🙃
That's because I studied "Justifiable Homicide" at the "Barbara Stanwyck Academy For The Criminally Depraved". Valuable training, but hell on co-stars and old boyfreinds. OXOXO
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ you clever fellow
Perfection, Steve. Bravo!
Thanks, Bob!
I sometimes wonder if Miriam Hopkins had not made 2 pictures with Bette Davis. Miriam Hopkins was probably the only Actress in Hollywood that wasn't scared of Bette Davis.
Not at all. She was fearless and more than that, jealous. She made everyone's life miserable and in the end, only damaged herself, because reports of all her shenanigans got around. Best Wishes; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I had a friend who was nuts about Miriam Hopkins. He had all the photographs, posters and lobby cards of her movies. He even met her when she toured in I think it was one of Tennessee Williams plays. Miriam Hopkins actually starred (I think it was in Boston) of the first Tennessee Williams play, later called "The Fugitive Kind". From what I remember the Stage caught fire during the fire scene and the Play was a disaster. Very interesting story. My friend told me Miriam Hopkins was into Numerology and based a great deal of the decisions she made on numbers. That included her turning down the part in "It Happened One Night". Thank goodness she didn't turn down the Lubitsch movies she was in, and I think that was in part because Ernst Lubitsch liked her so much. Her last film "Hollywood Horror House is a hoot! I though she did well in "The Chase" with Marlon Brando (especially the Courthouse scene) and the episode on "Outer Limits" she did called "Don't Open til Doomsday".
steve, you are the BEST!!!!
thanks so much!
Happy New Year Steve and Johnny! All my best, I may be your biggest fan!
Well, then I'm thrilled!
Gig Young.. he was supposed to play The Wakko kid in Blazing Saddles. But he'd had drinking issues and needed to be taken off by ambulance.
As for the first director on this flic FAKED a heart attack to get out of it.
Time to revisit this. Steve, great stuff.
Absolutely!
You are the best thank you my morning has been rescued
Glad to come to your rescue!
I saw this movie on Turner Classic Movies years ago, and I really liked this movie. I still remember that scene where Bette Davis shook the other actress and then pushed onto the couch. I laughed so hard when I saw that because I did not think they would make a movie like that. Thank you Steve for posting an enjoyable review. I laughed so many times when you did your Bette Davis impersonation. I look forward to your next review.
The thing is, at the time this movie was made, the height of the war. the movie going public was made up mostly by women. Working women. And Bette fought to make stories that women could relate to as the main characters, not secondary window dressing to the leading man. She wa s a maverick! So glad you watch!!
Great, you're still doing segments. Luvit !
Great review! Such Fun!
The insider information was hilarious and fascinating, Steve.
Thank so much! I'm so glad you liked it! I love this film. Don't forget to subscribe!
A wonderful film, only these 2 amazing strong actresses could portray.
On screen, amatch made in Heaven,on the set, a made in Hell. LOL!
Came across this review today and it was just what I needed, you darling! I loved this film, and the background stories you give only make it better! I watch it whenever it is on, even if I have to sit through commercials! Thank you Steve for reminding me how much I love Hollywood history and good old films~
Oh, this made my day! I'm so pleased. I hope you subscribe and that you'll continue to travel with us! I love this film too and always tea up a bit when they toast at the end and the Franz Waxman score rises with "Auld Lang Sign". Good old Hollywood! Thanks so much and have a lovely summer! Best; Steve
Just discovered your reviews and what a glorious one to start with , I love this movie so much and even more now knowing the back story !!! Gonna watch it now and also subscribing of course xxxx
Thank you SO much!
GREAT! GREAT! HILARIOUS REVIEW STEVE! I've never even heard of this one... And I LOVE Betty Davis. You had me cracking up, sitting here, watching this in the car. YOU ARE SOOOOO CRAY! Ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Thanks soooooo much. LOVED it!
Great! So gad you liked it! Car or no car, thanks a million for watching!
Awesome keep it up!
Thanks Steve, another fabulous review! It's kinda spooky that almost without exception, your tastes and opinions are a match for my own. And you always make me laugh at your obvious love of the golden age of Hollywood. Keep 'em coming you (not so) tired old queen! PS dare I suggest Madam X as a future feature?
You can dare and I may just do it! Thanks so much!
You crack me up. Fabulous review. Love you to bits xxx
Thanks so much! Steve
Bette Davis is a Queen.
I love all your reviews, but to me the late 60's and early 70's were great times in cinema
please review those films more.
I plan to.
Loving your impersonations of Bette Davis...
Thanks so much!
Davis is at the top of her game. A great role.
Yup! And she played them to the hilt!
Steve you have to do "The Turning Point" now.
Steve you are wonderful, love ur Bette Davis, one of my favorite actresses, love ur channel.
Thank you!
Steve great as always!!
Thanks, as always! Take care and stay SAFE! Best; Steve
Steve, you're wonderful! So glad you do this!
I'm so glad you're so glad! I'm grateful you watch!
I wish you would review 'Old Maid' also and compare the films. You're a master at story summary (sans spoilers), also production details alloyed with just enough juicy gossip to stimulate without derailing the narrative.
Thank you. It's on my "To Do" list. best Wishes and thanks for watching! Steve
Fabulous start to the new year Steve, or should I say Miss Davis!
Don't tell Bette that! She'll shoot you...she's like that!
Only when you started describing the film narrative did I realise that George Cukor's Rich and Famous (1981) was a remake of Old Acquaintance. Astonishing!
Of course we only watch the 1981 retelling of the original for that scene with Jacqueline Bissett & Matt Lattanzi`s bottom in the bedroom seduction scene that follows so closely on from that clumsy copulation in the Airplane toilet.
Which makes It more like a sex comedy especially with those subtle touches of hilarity that Cukor has Michael Brandon, who plays Max the married man, explain away why he has a a sticking-plaster over his wedding ring: is the funniest thing I had seen to date. I was barely a teenager when I saw the modern version, and even as a callow youth, it was done so well I immediately got the joke. Such that afterward I didn`t quite resent the deception because who could blame him, Michael Brandon, when he has a WASP - with a sky-slope nose - for a wife, played by Ann Risley.
I do love your commentary and the fact that you have clearly done your home-work as to setting the circumstances & set-backs of the production. Oh well Old Acquaintance is another to add to my `to do` list of films following your recommendation.
Happy New Year Steve!
OXOX David!
Great back story
I read somewhere in an interview that Bette Davis thought Miriam Hopkins was a good actress but she was so impossible that eventually nobody would work with her.
Yes. She got in her own way.
What is that bottle of bubbly Steve is drinking? It looks clean and refined.
Steve, have you reviewed Of Human Bondage with Ms Davis? I can't find it if you have...
Nope. But, it's on the "To Do" list.
I absolutely LOVED this one. You do Bette FABULOUSLY. Honey, if you do her again, have a REAL cigarette and BLOW that smoke in our faces! ALSO... YOU did the "Sorry" better than Bette did. Great, great review!!!
LOL! Thanks for the compliment! I like this one too. It moves me a great deal, because she's so accepting of who, what and where she is at the end. The champaigne toast at the fianale always make me cry a little. Thanks for watching and please stay SAFE! Best; Steve
Sounds hysterical
I like the premise of the two writers friendship. Sounds like if Jackie Collins & Joan Didion were besties.
LOL! Would I love to be a fly on that wall!!! Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
Why do they Call you Tired? You Don't Look Tired? You are not Even Dead.
The movie with Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen is called "Rich and Famous". PS. Steve, you Bette is brilliant.
There you go and thank you for the comoliment!
I’m listening to a bunch of Betty Davis interviews and she seem to have much more venom for Miriam Hopkins and fig Dunaway than she ever did for Joan Crawford
Absolutely. But, the Crawford fued got the press because "baby Jane" was all over the papers and the feud sold. Happy Holidays; Steve
Love this movie...Love you guys too!
Thank you so uch for watching!
You missed the Jezebel reference by Hopkins.
I believe this was remade in 1981 called “Rich and Famous” with Candice Bergen and Jacqueline Bisset. Am I right?
Bingo! It was Cukor's last film...and I don't think nearly as good...though the guys were cuter. Happy Labor Day! Steve
I have never seen this movie but it certainly rang a bell...reminded me of the movie made by Jackie Bissett and Candice Bergen must have been a remake!
It was indeed!Thanks so much for watching. Please subscribe and push the "LIKE" button. Say well. Stay SAFE. Best : Steve
Like the late Charles Pierce, you both do a great Bette Davis....
High, high praise. Thank you!
Was this remade in the 70s with Jaqueline Bissett and Candice Bergen? I think the title was Rich and famous
Absolutely. With alot more sex.. It was George Cukor's last film, but it doesn't have the zing that this one does. Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
Bette Davis ❤❤❤❤
I know...BETTE DAVIS!!!!
3:00 Norma Shearer unofficially retired from acting a year before _Old Acquaintance_ was released. But it would have been interesting to see if Norma and Bette would have gotten along.
I don't think there would have been a problem. They were never compared to each or in competition. I also don't think it would have worked with Norma in the selfish Miriam role. Perhaps if they had switched roles. I know Mary Astor was considered, who I think would have been ideal, but Bette vetoed it saying she was too old, I also think geraldine Fitzgerald would have been perfect. Miriam is bit strident in this, but it think that's more the character as written than Miriam. Her work, especially in the '30's was really remarkable. Thanks; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Stars burn brightly and they are far apart from each other.
@@RaymondHng And for awhile, they give off such a lovely light.
Spot on, Betty Davis imitation🚬
Many thanks, althouigh Bette might have a thing or two...or six... to say about it...YIKES! Steve
I’m even mesmerized by Bette’s hair. She always has it parted SO far over to the site, oops I mean side. 😝
I always thought they gave her dreadful hairdos except for "Now, Voyager" and "All About Eve". Although I like her grey streak in this one as she gets
older. Happy Holidays 7 Thanks for Watching; Best Wishes; Steve
I find when I watch Bette Davis now I’m a little disappointed because she doesn’t ‘do’ Bette as well as Steve does !
OMG! Don't let Bette hear you say that! LOL!
