ONE of the GREATEST films ever...amazing actors, visually stunning, wonderful story line, they DON"T make them like this any longer.....

My God, Gladys Cooper's performance is brilliant! Seeing that her stranglehold on her daughter has failed she attempts to humiliate her by telling her she'll wind up an old maid! Hearing the truth from Charlotte finally does her in! Scenes of this kind can never be recreated by the actresses of today!!!!!

She could dish it but she couldnt take it. BYE BYE MOMMY DEAREST!

Every time I watch this scene, it reminds me of my mother.

"I'll get a cat and a parrot and live alone in single blessedness." Boy her mother is a hoot. I saw a movie where Gladys Cooper plays a really nice friendly lady and I didn't recognize her!

One of the best expiration scenes I've seen. Just drops dead. Good for for the Dame Cooper!

Bette is beautiful in this film 😁

Bette, a gift also, both so skilled.

I love the dress BD wears in this scene. If only it were in color

Miss Coopers performance in the bishops wife is the bookend of two masterful characters.

@toucheturtle300 yes, lol. I read that Betty and Dame Gladys were good friends. Gladys was only 54 here and lived until 1971.

A beautiful and brilliant movie. I identified with this woman. I have only recognized this now 💜

The scenes would not have worked were Cooper the least intimidated by Davis, and clearly she is not. Cooper works as well with Davis as did Claude Rains and Mary Astor. Like Davis, Cooper was not afraid to take on a character that dares an audience to hate her, both here and in the following year as the forbidding nun in "Song of Bernadette." Yet in "My Fair Lady," seeing straight though her unctuous son Henry, she's one of the most likeable. Again like Davis, an amazing and memorable actress.

I just went to eBay and bought Now Voyager and three other Davis movie's for $15.00 and free shipping.

Claude rains was a gift.

As Maggie Smith says she's played some grand "gargoyles," and I loved her as the sometimes acid Dowager Countess of Grantham, but she definitely could have learned a few notes from Gladys Cooper in "Now, Voyager," and "Separate Tables!" Gargoyle know thyself!

I love this movie and have seen it dozens of times... but this is the first time I actually noticed the Tchaikovsky playing in the background as she ascends the stairs. Funny. I always concentrated on the monologue and not the queue. Always thought Steiner was her go to composer.

Cooper would have also been good as the witch in "The Wizard of Oz". It's hard to believe that she was actually quite the beauty about 30 years earlier.

It certainly seems that way! Some people will stop at nothing to make other people feel bad

MAYBE MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALLLLLLLL TIME!!! Cooper was absolutely FANTASTIC 'cause she made ALL OF US TRULY HATE HER IN that role. Fascinating fact though.....she was not that much older than Davis but the fantastic makeup job & dowdy hair & clothes made her look like she could've been her mother. However, possibly my favorite scene in ALL of film history is when she threatens Charlotte(Davis) with disinheritance. Then Davis responds with "I don't think I would, Mother, I'm not afraid"!!! That scene with Bettes' impeccable makeup, hair, dress and the set & lighting directors FABULOUS work with regard to the light on her face is something that literally continues to give me true strength & hope to this day in 2021!

I've wanted to do this for years...

THE GREAT G.COOPER!!!!!!!!! THANKS 50MILL.UPLOADER.

She actually lived. Charlotte really moved her to a small house and she married but her husband passed away. After his passing a terrible storm knocked the phone lines out. As a recent ghost he was not able to communicate well and he would call her but she thought it was a prank. Until the day she discovered that the wires had fallen into the grave and she had entered the twilight zone.

Outstanding

Great Scott... she killed the old witch 😛

1:42 "You aren't ever gonna sell this house and you aren't ever gonna live it... either."

She stopped her organs on purpose!

Coopers character is not only a bad mother, she's a bad person. Constantly shaking her will in Davis' face, threatening to disown her, etc. Total witch.

This reminds me of that song from 'The Wizard of OZ'! 🙂

A mother like this may be perceived as being very strong, and having a very independent nature. So much so that she would tend to be intimidating. However that is all a surface made up image. The truth is that a mother of that type person of that type, is actually very insecure, and must cling on to other people in order to feel safe. Charlotte's mother has for Charlotte's entire life made her feel as if she or worthless, couldn't do anything to help herself, and very much in need of her mother. However the opposite is true. It was Charlotte's mother who was in need of support. By Charlotte's mother clinging to her and depending on her so heavily, just like a drowning person will tend to pull the person who has come to the rescue down with them, Charlotte's mother has been a burden for so many years to Charlotte that she is pulling Charlotte to the bottom with her. Point here is that anyone who controls another person it's not really in control at all, they are just simply insecure and hanging on for dear life.

""now voyager" by betty davis is an a great movie for single young girls ,that make them into young pretty girls ,helps them become aspiring talkers to help the elderly in those days.and their traveling romance with the kissing scene that turns the greeks backs away from blushing so much,but makes you love the plot of the movie becomes Becomes breathtaking you want to keep your eyes constantly in motion.

I wouldn't have told her "I" did sh*t!!

What a woman! Chooses the perfect moment to die and have her daughter live in guilt forever more. That's taking your duties a little too seriously!

Thank you 🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘

The immense wealth guarantee’s you breed with, who they say 🤑

Nice momma

❣️

They could have chosen Margaret Wycherly to play the mother. That would have been a hoot! Mary Wickes plays the nurse, Dora! She's remembered more as a comic character actress.

Paul hennried, too. Today, ceasar is portrayed as a teenager American with a head full of hair, unable to recite shakespear, lazy talkerrs.

Truth.....

I was just getting ready to make the same comment. It's that fabric for me. I don't generally like early '40's clothes (those damn shoulderpads), but this dress is so... I don't know what, but I love it, too. It's feminine, but strong--and a great choice for this scene. I'm glad she was wearing this when she basically killed that b***h of a mother! lmao!
