Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.. The best of all times.

[@katewithat]

Agreed! I love watching all of their movies!

[@newport1007]

I love everything Ms. Betty Davis did.. she is an incredible actress , unfortunately Hollywood didn't give her the credit or the money she deserved.. may she R.I.P. 🙏

[@WestVirginia1959]

I don't think Bette Davis was that good. But I think it's partly because they made her use that Transatlantic accent instead of just using a natural voice like when she first started out. Her features are not very pretty but she was a decent actress. I can still remember when she was 80 on the Johnny Carson show and she actually believed that she might make another woman jealous.😂😂😂😂

Such a privlege to watch a film with actors who could truly act.....lead by an actress of the quality of Betta Davis.... and a storyline that kept one engaged until the end! They certainly don't make films like this anymore...and so thank you Gem!!!

I so agree! I feel so blessed to have come across this film accidentally.

This is my first Bette Davis film I’m watching, as her portraying an older adult. She aged with such finesse and beauty! What a classy, excellent actress she was!

„Progress“ vs old true values…. It shows exactly why and when modern society went wrong. Marvellous film.

[@srs3572]

I agree. It is really excellent. What good teachers are, what the meaning of family is, how to mend fences. The first Bette Davis film I’ve ever watched!!! What an actress!

[@tinkerbell2675]

Well, I thought this was going to be a movie that would be resemble watching cold molasses pouring. But not the case. It was like a roller coaster ride of emotions. Great acting and story. I would watch it again. Thank you for the sharing.

[@srs3572]

I find that the 80s movies were generally well made. Now, they are so predictable, the script is fast and films shortened. The technology might be better but the stories and quality seem to be lacking. 🤷‍♀️

[@user-ls6ni9xp1t]

Betty Davis didn't always play the bad girl. Now voyage is one of her greatest films ever. Where she is playing a good person. And Pocket full of miracles. She was such a good actress you hated her when she was a villian and loved her as a good person.Now that's a actress to be able to bring out these emotions in the audience.

[@retroguy9494]

I absolutely LOVE 'Now Voyager.' I even own it on DVD. Perhaps because the relationship between the mother and Charlotte Vale reminds me so much of me and my own mother.

Family Reunion is a 1981 American made-for-television drama film directed by Fielder Cook. The teleplay by Allan Sloane was based on the Ladies Home Journal article How America Lives by Joe Sparton. It was produced by Columbia Pictures Television for NBC, which aired it in two parts on October 11 and 12, 1981.

That was really, really, really good!!!! I love Betty Davis!!

He didn’t remember that song either!!! Well, that song came out I found out just now on Google in 1981 by Kim Carnes. And my son wasn’t even born until 1992!!! Anyway, and thank you to any and all that acted in that film and help make the film and bring it to us today!!! It brought a lot up for me about my family, my mother’s side, and my father’s side in Pennsylvania, from years past, and what has happened to all of us, etc.!! ❤.

The film gives the impression that "Winfield" is somewhere in New England. The character of the mailman is typical of a Massachusetts or Maine resident. The movie was filmed (on) near Long Island I believe.

Well, that's because of all the 'baggage' in her family. Everyone (except perhaps Grover) had some kind of axe to grind. Since Elizabeth was a senior member of the family (and technically became it's matriarch after her older brother George died) they all blamed her in some way.

Yes. I think they mean IN English ....😊 rather than BY the English 😊. It's surprising how understandable it is ! Even since 1981, American English has changed somewhat : But that's what languages do : they gradually change over time, with usage. Our current Standard English is SO different from , say , Chaucer's time. I'm proud and grateful that English has become the second language of choice all over the world : it's been adopted as the working language in Aviation, I'm told...! Saves us lazy mob a lot of work !

[@retroguy9494]

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say after reading your comment. However, I can tell you that the Ford Model T was made from 1908 to 1927. It was replaced by the Ford Model A which was made from 1928 (introduced in December 1927) to 1931. Although there was a prior Model A made in 1903 and 1904. This particular vehicle is a 1926 Model T Depot Hack. It was made from 1919 to 1927. It's sometimes known as a 'Model TT' because the 'TT' was the truck chassis and this was in fact built on the truck chassis even though it's technically not a truck.

I beg to differ with the both of you! I watched this movie when it was first shown on TV in 1981 and I liked it a LOT! Perhaps it's because I come from a really old family like the Winfields and that I was also raised in a small town. Also maybe because Elizabeth's classroom looked just like the classrooms in my old grammar school and that she reminded me a lot of my 6th grade teacher. But i DID in fact like it!
