Now, Voyager

by Krista

I watched this Bette Davis movie over the holidays and it was so very charming. Bette Davis is luminous in it. Lovely. Her eyes really do shimmer — and this is from 1942, before all those special effects and filters and crazy lenses and gazillion cameras. Now, Voyager is the way movies were meant to be, although I really could do without the soundtrack after a while.

And although I read something snippy the other day about my homeslice Walt Whitman (Long Island, New York, my people), I’d still like to quote him here:

The untold want, by life and land ne’er granted, Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.

Happy 2014, my friends. Sail forth, to seek and to find.

One of my favorite films. I highly recommend you watch Bette Davis in Dark Victory, she will break your heart in it.
