Have any of you seen this? If not you have been missing out on a good thing. A really good thing! The back of the DVD says:
"Bette Davis at the height of her phenomenal screen stardom. Charles Boyer in his only screen pairing with la Bette. A plot rich in mystery and grand emotion. A powerful period drama honored with three 1940 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. Fans get all this in All This, and Heaven Too.
From Rachel Field's fact-based bestseller, the story follows Henriette (Davis), governess at the Paris home of the Duc de Praslin (Boyer) and his jealous wife (Barbara O'Neil). When governess and nobleman are drawn to each other, the Duchess erupts in fury...and meets a bloody fate. Soon Henriette and the Duc face a world eager to believe the Duc murdered his wife. And that gentle Henriette was a willing accomplice."
I can say no more about the plot or outcome of the plot. You will just have to see it for yourself! Enjoy!

Neesie, I love this movie! Bette Davis is my favorite actress so that has a little something to do with it!! =D But it is a very interesting plot, doesn't it?
I enjoyed every minute of it. It was touching and powerful at the same time. Acting at its finest.
