I was about to type same thing :) Someone had a four nation notion 😂

The subtitles had nothing to do with the movie.😅😂

@@AsWeSpeak154 🤣😂🤣

I saw that, goofy

Those subtitles don’t even say exactly what she is saying! It’s all just jiberesh!

Like a parody! 😆

That's Marjorie Bennett. The matron was Marian Seldes. They were both great character actresses.

I loved this though. It's a hidden gem

Me too!

There is no such thing as 'very unique' Something is either unique or it is not unique. It is like saying 'she is a little bit pregnant" .

@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 Although you are grammatically correct, your comment was unnecessary. To me, Bette Davis was very unique ( over the top unique ) IMO

Captions in many cases are so inaccurate. Truly I feel sorry for the deaf. To me it's. A BAD thing. Very CAREless. A few words can basically mess everything thing up !!!!!! Julie kilburn

Her cadence is so distinct that she played every character in the same. That’s why she was such a target of mimics and comedians and drag queens for years upon years because she’s easy to imitate and make fun of.

I pressed the CC button and got close captioning over the gibberish.

Better Davis movies are definitely some of my favorite as we'll. I'm delighted to have come across these never seen before mini movies.

This is a tv movie from the fifties as opposed to a movie film. Bette Davis appeared in many tv productions in the fifties from what I understand.

So that makes the substandard subtitles fit PERFECTLY (if you stop to think about it).

I just listened rather than watched so that they didn't annoy me. The subtitles must have been made voice generated before they were perfected ad they are now in 2021

Subtitles have their own dimension lol

😂😂😂

Jieron Baltazar no, she fell onto the gravel driveway and the other side of her face was badly bruised and scratched. They put heavy make up on it

Always loved Bette..the Best.¥

Gary Merrill was awful

@@tmo.48 OH ya especially when she's walking down the hallway to see her mother in that black dress.She knows got it 📽️🎬

It is amazing that you knew how to change the captions so that they matched. I did enjoy the incongruity but it is interesting to know how to correct them.

Sorry. The subtitles are in the print and I can't remove them.

@@aeichler No worries, brother!

@Alan Eichler the subtitles are in the print? Where did you get this film ? At a foreign school for practice in English translation? Oh, well. Can't do much about such abominable translation except register annoyance and trust that any foreign language students don't get utterly confused.

@Tanya Brown Oh no! I pray you did not watch this movie and attribute the sub titles to what was actually being said. If so you are now probably in a home for the mentally deranged. Driven crazy by this insane translation which is actually quite funny and could be a whole different movie about schizophrenia.

@19:11 "Are you hairy ball?" LMFAO Gosh officer, kindof a personal question!

Beyond the Forest is one of her movies that is hard to find but if you have Roku you can watch it free. Its on one of the free classic movie channels. Roku opened the door for some many older movies from a list of many stars. On one channel they have a list of stars and many movies from each star in a list free to watch.

It's based on a Daphne De Maurea short story which I've listened to an audio version of. There are slight differences. She thought she almost got hit by delivery truck. And 20 years had passed.

She rose from the dead?

I think for economic reasons Ms. Davis was forced to accept roles in films that were beneath her stature as an artist; same for Joan Crawford. Ironic (and sad) that they both met the same film fate. They were both such superstars (before the term was even used).

Okay, I've had a couple of hours to soften my reaction. I don't really think she would consider her daughter to have turned out horribly. She was a very loving mother and would have loved her daughter regardless of her surroundings. I am not a person who at 54 years of age has really watched any Bette Davis films at all, so I don't really know how she normally portrays a character. From the start, she seemed a bit whacky, stilted and surrealistic. She was constantly flitting about looking at everything around her, checking for dust and rearranging things to some ideal of perfection. Based on the above description, I was trying to figure out if she was already insane, or is this just how Bette Davis portrays a character... the manner with which she carried herself, her very precise diction, etc. Anyway, something bad happens to her character in the middle, but she seems to survive it, though you can tell things are suddenly different, and she reacts in an unusual way to things that seem outlandish. She just sort of goes with the flow, even though she walks home and suddenly it's all different, including the contents and the people in it! It's almost like a dream state. The ending was a bit sudden and disconcerting, almost like there were a few seconds missing or something. It seemed like a bad edit at a crucial spot, so I wonder if something happened there. It basically just resolves the whole thing in an instant and you realize what you've been seeing all along, but based on the description, I was sitting around waiting for her to be gaslighted into insanity and be carted off somewhere. It wasn't like that at all. :-) This definitely falls into the "Twilight Zone" category of things as you will read in other people's reviews of this item in other places on the internet.

@@markclowe What planet did you come from.

A (wrinkle) in time?

@@edtalavera6523 I think Marc Lowe's reaction was not unreasonable....seems quite a few of us couldn't completely figure it out.... 🤔🇬🇧💕🇬🇧🤔

Exactly esp. when the daughter states of the school owner that "she did her best for me. . . . after my mother was killed in a street accident." when clearly Bette, the mother is standing right there; WHAT HAPPENED!!!!

4 sûre, a touch of Serling.

Coma or concussion?

Yes, because you'll note at the very beginning of the film she references the decline of the neighborhood and the fact that one day all surrounding houses will become boarding houses, as did hers (in this fraction of a second).

@@saundramichael7968 I think she was playing a ghost, or a spirit. How they will linger when they die unexpectedly and haunt the living. Their time is merely a 'fraction of a second' compared to mortal timekeeping. That's the best I could come up with. I was hoping for the concussion story,, but good old Bette wouldn't let us down that easily. There had to be a plot twist at the end. A real grabber.

Battle axe lol 😆

Yes, some interesting directoral stuff going on. But Ms. Davis still made it enjoyable.

The bulk of the episode, was a "flash-forward" (similar to someone's life flashing before their eyes) just as they are about to die. The first and second shot of the vehicle accident, were of one and the same incident. It was actually VERY deeply thought through by the looks of things - better still than many modern Hollywood productions (though of course, not with the same production values). Her visions, could only summon certain extents of enquiry. She couldn't think for example, to check death records, as such a thing, would be too unpleasant.

I want to read the original story.

It is much better as an audiobook. I don’t think this movies does the story justice.

'Ya then simply vacuum it using Low Suction to prevent excess wear-&-tear on the duster.

Yes, she died. She had a "flash-forward" about 20 years, which is why everything had changed. Of course, nobody had reason to be aware of her - presumably she didn't think to bother to see it as "a future event", which is why no old records were sought - only up to date ones. Nobody had reason to recognise her, as it was already established that she had died. In her own subconscious, Bette Davis' character knew she was about to die, which is why her daughter didn't recognize her either. Perhaps it was the fright that was driving her to do what she was doing throughout the whole film?

Watch more closely and you just may see a prelude of character to Baby Jane.

@@patrickryan1515 I was engrossed while watching, but I just don't see any similarities between Mrs Ellis and Baby Jane.

I'm pretty sure that was a side-effect of the post-processing that KZfaq does after a video is uploaded. The weird liquid-like movement in the background is (I think) an error related to image stabilization (the algorithm attempts to keep a person - in this case Bette Davis - centered in the shot, and compensate for relative motion between the camera and the subject. I'm guessing that the original shot had more dynamic camera-panning or something of that sort - which the algorithm misunderstood as "shaky camera". As to the subtitles - holy damn, those were *abysmal*. Good story, and great acting by Bette.

@@henryemrich7209 Thank you.
