Irving Rapper’s NOW, VOYAGER
(1942, 117 min)
“Now, Voyager” is a Hollywood swooner with Bette Davis and Paul Henreid in a melodrama to end all melomers. Young Charlotte Vale (Davis) leads a deeply repressed life, suffering under a domineering mother, until psychiatrist Dr. Jaquith (Claude Rains) encourages her to emerge from her cocoon. On a trans-Atlantic voyage, Vale falls in love with Jerry Durrence (Paul Henreid), who is trapped in a loveless marriage. Rather than break up Durrence's marriage, Vale becomes a surrogate mother to his emotionally disturbed daughter, rescuing her from the fate from which she was rescued by Dr. Jaquith. Academy Award for Best Music (Max Steiner) Academy Award nominations for Best Actress in a Lead Role (Bette Davis) and Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Gladys Cooper).
