Film notes

The film that made Bette Davis a lead actress, by a performance that Life said to be “probably the best performance ever recorded on screen by a U.S. actress”. A classic of “amour fou” where an attractive but sluttish waitress seduces a young medicine student and abuses his love until an expected tragic ending.
