Now, Voyager

DramaRomance117 min

Charlotte Vale is a sheltered Boston woman driven to a breakdown by her domineering mother and years of being told she is unfit for the world. After a stay under the care of a thoughtful psychiatrist, she leaves home for a South American cruise and begins to imagine a different life. Bette Davis is Charlotte, moving from anxious self-erasure toward a steadier sense of herself. On board, a connection with Paul Henreid’s married traveler brings romance into the picture, even as Charlotte’s return home forces her to confront the family control she thought she had escaped.
