Some may think this scene is over the top but I don't think so. It builds and builds and you can see the frustration and the anger from someone who keeps giving and gets nothing in return.
As far as being over the top, you need to look at the times. This was the early fifties, the onset of television where movie theatres were closing left and right. People were seriously unsure whether the movie business would be able to survive. To fight this, movies had to differentiate themselves from TV shows, and one significant way was to make them very dramatic, over the top even. This gave birth to on-location and other star studded vehicles; the slogan used at this time was "movies, Better than Ever." Even non-action films had to have elements that could not be seen on the small screen.
This scene is not over the top. Back in the 1950's scenes like this often took place in my house between family members and other neighborhood family members in our nice "quiet" suburban neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. This kind of drama was quite common in our nice friendly neighborhood.
It’s just hilarious that only whyte folks get this much leeway with not paying their rent they signed a contract for for Pete’s sake 😂especially the females.
Bette Davis was one of the greatest Hollywood actresses. She could dominate a film. Her voice, movement, expressions and acting range made her top box office for many years. The other greats? Crawford, Hepburn and Stanwyck. These 4 actresses will never be forgotten.
@@mikkimikki5376 Crawford was an outstanding actress, deservedly winning an Oscar for her role in the film: ‘Mildred Pierce.’ She had a long career in Hollywood, putting in many memorable performances In the 40’s and 50’s after she signed with Warner Bros. She was the ultimate melodramatic actress, whose steely and tough demeanour, as well her arresting eyes made her such a strong actress. Yes, in my humble view, one of the greatest actresses. Case closed.
She was probably going a little method. Bette's real life was very similar: her mother and sister lived entirely off of Bette's money; whatever Bette had THEY wanted too.
Me too.....unfortunately the name of mine also was “family” as in husbands family not even my own...my dad had passed away in 97 and two weeks later my husband and our 7 yr old son drowned swimming in a lake in front of our 11 yo daughter. I was helping my mom that day with dads estate etc. Didn’t know my husband had even taken the kids to swim at a lake very close to our home , until a State Trooper showed up at our door. Luckily our daughter was ok but very traumatized. Took years to help her work through her grief. But in many ways, I look back and realize now that it became her and I in a huge house clinging to each other in an effort to take small steps forward. I wasn’t myself for about five yrs really. And I made some of the worst mistakes ever in my life. I met back up and with married an old high school boyfriend fairly quick( looking back now I think in my head I was on a mission to restore the losses back into a family. You never dream in your worst nightmares that with one swoop a chunk of your family can be wiped out. We tend to plot a course for how we see our lives playing out. You plan but there is NO way anyone could predict something so horrible and plan how to survive it around something so horrific . They say you shouldn’t make big decisions for a year following a loss. But when it complicated grief, like these losses involving 3 predominate loved ones & immediate family, I believe the wait should be extended much farther out.) The old boyfriend waited until a few weeks after we married to start pressuring me to bank roll his dream of opening his own restaurant. I was still so she’ll shocked that I was scared to even entertain the idea. He started and quit several jobs and the conversation about a restaurant would being again. Until I could no longer take the pressure of living with that pressure and grieving Who each time and moan and pout. Lamenting a whoa is me mindset, until I caved in. I borrowed a large some of money in my name only for him. My attention for details was virtually nonexistent as he ,proceeded to ask over and over for more money . The bulk of which came from life insurance that wasn’t his nor part of our marriage. When he wasn’t spending fist fulls of cash his family members were asking for money . And when I asked for some form of re-payments I was suddenly the most no-good bitch ever to walk the earth...my “husband” or “extortionist” told them it was ok don’t worry about having to repay it behind my back. Then I found out he was sleeping with his 19 yr old assistant mgr. I tried putting pressure back on him in desperation to attempt rousing his thought processes and told him I wanted a divorce thinking it might slow him down at least if he thought his gravy train was in danger. It backfired . Then, in a showdown worse than this one I tossed him out and started burning bridges DOWN ...to ashes so no one including myself could ever rebuild those bridges where he and his family were concerned. ! And then I filed for divorce and sued him for what I could and I made that no good sob pay some it back too ! I still lost because he depleted money market accounts involved in tech type markets that $$ was used from , so after 9-11 the bottom fell out. I was able to get some back pursuing him and his 19 yo slut girlfriend to the ends of the earth! Like I promised them I would ! 😡🤬🤯 his 19 yr old girlfriend was pregnant before we finally were legally divorced. She called me one day and told me I was “ just mad because she was having a baby and I wouldn’t be having one...” because he had told her I had toyed with the idea of having a tubal reversal because my child I lost was my youngest. I had no idea that anyone could be that cruel.... I would look in my rear view mirror sometimes and see her following me. And she did things like sending her twin sister over to “sign me up on a cable tb plan” she was selling. And have others call me and harass me. Which had the effect emotionally on my daughter and I of being stalked and mentally toyed with after such loss and the pathological psychopathy of their behavior. Once I received a note at my address from a jewelry store addressed to him. I opened it praying he hadn’t taken credit in my name. But it was worse than that. It was a thank you note for a purchase of jewelry for the girlfriend . Looking back with benefit of hindsight, I know that I’m lucky no physical harm came to my daughter and I.
So sorry you went through that but it has helped me to make some major changes in my life, and go after the bastards who stole from me too. Good for you or keeping your promise, lol.
(Sorry this was so long above. But to anyone who might read it, please let my life and my story serve as a cautionary tale....it softens the blow to think that if sharing my story here may save at least one person from having to go through anything similar, Because it didn’t end there. I was sued twice for money HE owed to two attorneys he hired to represent him in our divorce that he later told me was to purposely initially to make me spend enough money that I would stop legal action to also force him to close the business. He never paid the lawyers and one of them filed suit first and I was served papers on Christmas Eve. My attorney told me that I wasn’t obligated to pay but that his attorneys knew that it would be worth my while to just offer them some money to leave me alone because in the end it would cost less. So ?...in essence I had to pay ...part of the legal fees ...l.for a no good, money hungry spouse ......who was robbing ME blind....who had pregnant girlfriend .,,,15 yrs younger than us both......to pay fees to lawyers that HE hired .....who them worked for HIM to bring stress and cause harm emotionally to me after such losses.....and therefore by extension my young daughter .......who saw such horror of her dad and brother dying right in front of her 11 yr old eyes .....as they begged and pleaded for her to help them....an 11 yr old innocent girl who knew she would die too if she did ...all in an effort try to get more money....that I did end up paying some money ...the irony...smh.....always remember what I have shared here and protect yourselves if ever faced with anything remotely the same.
This situation exists today even in the lives of ordinary people. People just want milk somebody else's wealth but when they struggles they're nowhere to find.
Jay - believe me when families decide to disassociate themselves from them - "this is it!" They never stop to think the person that is generous can run out of money. It happened to me and they never stop asking. Can you blame Bette Davis for getting upset? I would kick this woman's ass out the door including her husband too! Lazy shit heads!!
The way she just explodes like that is glorious. She even answers their bullshit like "oh well if that's how you feel-- YES THATS HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT!!!" Absolutely glorious.
This was soooo much like my mother when she had put up with too much garbage from someone and finally let them have it !! Nothing in the world satisfies like seeing Bette Davis or Joan Crawford !! I swear those two were both plugged into a generator or electrical outlet - they were pure, undiluted energy; the shocking part is that either one of them EVER died !! Two irreplaceable talents.
Nothing worse than free-loading friends or relatives who feel just because you are family or friends that they have a right to your hard earned living!! I am retired from the poor working class; and if I were blessed to acquire a windfall of wealth.....there are family, friends, etc., that I would help....but I would NEVER let them know I got it or where it came from! I would just help them when they really needed it....and not brag about my newly acquired wealth, so they couldn't try to sweet talk it out of me!!
your vow sounds familiar; i've heard it from countless lottery hopefuls. i think the average lifetime of a windfall - be it $25,000 or $250 million is about 11 months.
FABULOUS BETTE...a great role and she WAS perfect......l saw MOONS ago a takeoff in drag in SF....never LAUGHED so hard in my life..it WAS FABULOUS........THE STAR....is an underrated film..with a great star...MISS BETTE DAVIS!....my favorite
One thing I pity young kids these days is they don't find those old Hollywood gems on tv and build a little history of great actors and the great stuff you'd come across to watch. Kids don't ever get bored enough to give something the time to see it develop.
Bette played her roles so well,even the movies that she hated doing she played them well,her best parts were the ones she played like sweet baby Jane one of my favorites with her as the baddie and boy she played that part so well that it left Joan Crawford speechless,I admired her she was a natural as a mother and film star,as she said ,she did it the hard way"to me Bette you rock,Rest in peace Bette,you may 've gone but your not forgotten,God bless you amen,😘💑💖👍✊👏👏👏
Actually Bette was also in awe of Crawford when they were filming Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. There was this one shot that Crawford had to do but annoyed Davis because it will take a long time because multiple takes have to be done in order to get it right from multiple angles. Davis was flabbergasted that Crawford was able to ace it in one take so all the cameras from the different angles aimed at her got what they needed. Too bad Davis’ insecurity drove Crawford into quitting the picture.
Amazing acting I was born in 1999 but for some reason I’ve always been drawn to old music, old movies, the way people lived in the early 1900s use to watch old shows on television with my grandmother just love it.
This is such a relatable thing to watch right now. I certainly know what it is to be between checks and squeezed for money and feeling like all the people in your life are coming knocking for some of it.
Much agreed about the consensus on Ms. Bette. She much before her passing, had written a letter to Meryl Streep; writing to her, that she very much " reminded her of herself when she was younger." This Meryl said; that she "was very honored." to have been thought of in such a way by the "great Bette Davis !" Stated, "She would always cherish that memory." I too agree with Bette.
3:08 She even did that cigarette tapping thing Joan Crawford typically liked to do on- or off-screen! You can tell it's deliberate because it clearly seems not to be for convenience or habit. It's to imitate Joan's tics! That attention to detail is immaculate!
There's camp, there's super camp, and then there's this. It seems amazing to me that most other actors would've gotten laughed right out of town for chewing the scenery to this degree. And yet, when Davis does it, she's somehow rewarded with an Oscar nod. Life is indeed stranger than fiction, kids.
Her body… the way she moves through the scene. All the rage contained in her eyes and arms. Her exhausted voice. Ahhh, brilliant actress. The best!
No one can throw a fit better than Bette Davis ! Now and forever my favorite actress.
God knows nobody else can work a fit like she can🤣🤣
I'm a BD fan too... have been for many years. She made a great body of work. 🎉
She was brilliant is The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex.
Ladies and Gentlmen, THIS is an actress. You will never see anyone like her ever again : )
Fun piece of trivia: that Oscar statuette they're handling in that scene is a real Oscar --one of her own, in fact.
Even after she tells them she's broke they still ask for their monthly check.
Sounds like my sister!
@Jijii His sister needs to get a job and support herself !
Lol
@@justmeiniowa her and her sleezy husband
Dead flat stoney broke😂 that was some good acting
When, she lights her cig turns around delivers her line, and throws the matches on the desk…and this whole scene…what an actress.
The greatest. No more to be said.
@@paullewis2413 can't argue with that!

A very under rated film.....Davis at her best.
absolutely! no one plays a scene like this like Bette Davis - priceless!
YESSS IT IS!
Where did you watch it
Sometimes "over the top" is the appropriate destination.👏👏👏👏
An underrated movie with another fine performance from Bette. She did receive her 9th Academy Award nomination for it, though.

As long as you keep your Channel full of this Monumental great actress Betty Davis I'm in..
Show this video to my family and friends about my present situation, I am sure they know what I am going through now.
3:08 She even did that cigarette tapping thing Joan Crawford typically liked to do on- or off-screen! You can tell it's deliberate because it clearly seems not to be for convenience or habit. It's to imitate Joan's tics! That attention to detail is immaculate!
The movie was based on Crawford and her career. Needless to say Joan was not amused and she sought revenge on the screenwriters, her former friends.
Shout out to the Coach Gang 🫡

Human nature in the raw...Bette acting in the top league...
UNGRATEFUL RELATIVES!!!!!
IN MY BOOK THIS GREAT LADY IS THE BEST AMERICAN ACTRESS IN AMERICAN MOVIE HISTORY EVEN THE WORLD. EXQUISITE WOMAN.
Ive never even HEARD of this film. I HAVE to have it! Off to Amazon now!
You know it was based on Crawford!
Bette Davis was a brilliant actress ❤
It's almost scary had great she was!
Well, damn. Now I want to see the rest of the movie. I love Bette Davis.
In every film she made, Bette Davis demonstrated why she was the greatest actress of all times!
Wait a minute and Roy left the refrigerator open after eating what little food she had. Unbelievable.[
I tell my kids this all the time…. “Can’t you see I’m broke”?? 😂😂😂
There's camp, there's super camp, and then there's this. It seems amazing to me that most other actors would've gotten laughed right out of town for chewing the scenery to this degree. And yet, when Davis does it, she's somehow rewarded with an Oscar nod. Life is indeed stranger than fiction, kids.
Hmmm. She chewed scenery in every film in which she appeared. But she chewed brilliantly
BRAVO, BETTE !
❤️
Funny how “Broke” has been in use since the 50s🙂😁😁
I would love to do this to some people lol
The day will come when I tell my little brother when I'm fed up. . He has no job no car no money no nothing.
Always interesting to watch. Even in bad movies. Doesn't matter. She's Bette Davis after all....
I was distracted the whole time by the refrigerator door left standing wide open lol
I wish she had slammed that door!
Though commercial failure,it was nice to watch acting of Bette Davis,composition of great Victor Young n lively photography work of Earnest Laszlo.
❤️❤️❤️ this movie!!!
