I didn't see this movie last night but I have seen it recently. It's one of my favorites, for sure. I don't know that Mary Astor outshone Bette Davis, though. That would be an individual opinion but I can say that both the ladies and George Brent were outstanding.

Had never seen it before, loved it, thanks!! how many Davis/Brent movies were there??

@Shelbelle, I'm thinking there were at least four, but not sure about that. After "Dark Victory" and this one, I'm drawing a blank on the others. Anyone?
