Wonderful film from 1942, even though it's part of a turn on Hollywood's part from the social to the psychological.

As a person who likes old films, how have I never seen Now, Voyager?

Really wonderful. Bit of a weird third act wth Tina.

I saw NOW, VOYAGER (1942) at the Paris Theater in NYC today.

Everything hit harder on the big screen: Davis' turmoil, Henreid's empathy, Gladys Cooper's awfulness, Claude Rains' moments of grace. But Mary Wickes as Dora was the clear audience fav.

Powerful and moving. Like seeing it for the first time.

Reading the post about therapy reminded me of the 1942 film "Now, Voyager".

We can see in this film the beginnings of a turn in US culture away from the social towards the psychological. Neurotic WASP spinster Charlotte Vale (Bette Davis) undergoes treatment at the sanitarium of psychiatrist Dr Jaquith (Claude Rains) and is reborn as an confident woman capable of independent love.

Notwithstanding the problematic cultural turn it represents, "Now, Voyager" is a film I love. Bette Davis, Claude Rains, and Paul Henreid are all at their best in this adult drama of growth, love, and renunciation.

I gave up smoking long ago, but still miss the romance of cigarettes, given its definitive depiction in 'Now,Voyager":
