Old Acquaintance (1943 Vincent Sherman)

Screenplay and play John Van Druten (Bell Book and Candle, I am Camera, The Voice of the Turtle, Gaslight, Raffles ), with the prolific Lenore Coffee (since 1919, including Davies vehicle The Great Lie ). Lots of good writing.

Bette Davis (we seem to be having a bit of a celebration at the moment), Miriam Hopkins (who spoils proceedings somewhat by being too over the top), Gig Young, John Loder, Dolores Moran (who I didn't recognise as the brunette in To Have and Have Not), Francine Rufo (young Deirdra, one of only two films).

Ph. Sol Polito. Music Franz Waxman.
