Customer Reviews of Whales of August
A "Whale" Of A Movie What a wonderful movie. I wish they would make it in a DVD. Five
talented veterans of the silver (and I do mean "silver") screen
all together in a beautiful story of golden ages and golden memories. Bette Davis, Lillian Gish, Ann Sothern, Vincent Price
and Harry Carey Jr. are a joy to watch. I've watched this film
so many times I think I know all the lines, but I never tire of it. Five stars aren't enough to rate such stellar performances.
A MOVIE EVENT!
A gorgeous movie to watch and own. What more can you say about a movie with Bette Davis, Lillian Gish, Ann Sothern and Vicent Price in it? A film that brings talent, beautiful scenery and a great story line together to make an "epic picture" and puts it into a 91 minute treasure.
LEGENDS TO THE END
Watching this film after several years was something of a bitterwsweet experience - it looks wonderful on DVD - it's beautifully photographed and has a subtle, haunting musical score. But its reason for being is as the final showcase for the acting of two screen legends to whom everyone in Hollywood today owes their careers - Lillian Gish, who invented screen acting during the silent era, and Bette Davis, who reinvented it after sound came in. "Life fools you," Davis says in the film, and she could have been referring to herself - it's hard to believe this is the Bette Davis of JEZEBEL and DARK VICTORY, of THE LITTLE FOXES, NOW VOYAGER, and ALL ABOUT EVE, even of WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? Age, illness and, yes, life - had taken their toll on her. But, she has her moments here - oddly enough, her best are without dialog, such as when she brushes a lock of her dead husbands hair across her cheek, while Gish has the lovely "passion and truth" monologue. Ah well - they don't make 'em like these gals anymore!
