For more demanding audiences,
Still filled with enthusiasm for
the big-scale Miss Davis. the
change must inevitably be disap-
pointing. In the latest film, in
which she merely wrecks SEEM
ingly good marriage to Barry
Sullivan, she is required to use a
mere fraction of her skill in por-
traying the neurotic female.
The gloss is there, but very
little of substance except for a
fine, meaningful minor character
dropped into the proceedings by
the late Jane Cowl. Miss Cowl's
bit as the older woman who
learned wisdom the hard way is
another Of those small gems
which will remind everyone what
a loss she is to stage and screen.
Originally called ''The Story Of
a Divorce" Miss Davis latest We
hicle never gets out of the rut of
so many of her older models.
The picture opens on the scene
of the harshest night of her life.
In this. she is presiding with her
usual frosty cunning over the
pre-dinner hour in the swank
home where she lives with her
successful husband and two ado
lescent daughters. One gathers
this uncozy atmosphere is moth
ing new. but Sullivan comes from
the Office to give an unexpected
flip by announcing he wants a
divorce.
This opening puts it squarely
up to Director Curtis Berhnardt,
a polished craftsman. to take
the marriage back over the years
to show what led up to this ex-
plosion.
What led up to it. as usual in
such takes, is Miss Davis wifely
determination to play the success
game by her own ruthless rules.
Her husband, daughter, friends,
and even the servants were merely
pawns to be moved as she saw fit.
AS human chessmen often do.
these finally get sick of the game
and refuse to play any more.
