LaserDisc Movie Review:
Edith Wharton's 1924 novel is the fodder for this sprawling tale of southern belle self-sacrifice. Charlotte (Bette Davis) and Delia (Miriam Hopkins) are two headstrong sisters who both love the same no-good man (George Brent). He dies fighting in the Civil War for the Confederacy, but not before fathering Charlotte's illegitimate child (Jane Bryan). After Delia is widowed, the two wile away their days together as old ladies in a big, ornate mansion, arguing over how to best raise the growing girl, while a strict moral code demands Charlotte not acknowledge the child as her own. It's interesting to watch Davis transform herself from fresh-faced country girl to bitter old spinster, considering how many similar "old maid" characters she would play throughout the latter half of her career. As her lively older sister, Miriam Hopkins contrasts Davis' gloom by radiating warmth and love, as does the ravishing Bryan. They're all sensational; by the time the movie ends, if the viewer is left with a single tear unshed, it's not for these great ladies' lack of trying, or Edmund Goulding's direction, which is positively purple with Southern Gothic magic and airy intimacy.

Movie Review for LaserDisc LD:
William Wyler created the powerful opening for THE LETTER from the few words he says were in the script: "You hear a gunshot and you see a woman coming out shooting a man." Leslie's husband, Robert (Herbert Marshall), is stunned at the shooting; colonial official John Withers (Bruce Lester) is overwhelmed, out of his depth; and the Crosbie's lawyer, Howard Joyce (James Stephenson), is thoughtful. Leslie says Hammond tried to rape her. They all seem to accept her explanation. So she is surprised when a trial is necessary. It seems a letter has been found, by Hammond's Eurasian widow (Gale Sondergaard)--a letter that Leslie wrote to Hammond on the day of the shooting; a letter, Leslie lets Howard know, it would be a good idea to obtain--no matter the cost. THE LETTER is one of William Wyler's best movies. Based on W. Somerset Maugham's play, it is taught and exciting. Wyler and master photographer Gregg Toland use tense compositions with the protagonists pressed together, facing the same way, and receding diagonally across the frame. Bette Davis is compelling and James Stephenson in his first major role is riveting.
