Somerset Maugham"; "W. Somerset Maugham's world famous novel") starring Leslie Howard (as Philip Carey), Bette Davis (note that because Bette Davis was a Warner Bros star, and because she was "loaned" to RKO to make the movie, Warner executives saw to it that she wasn't even nominated for the Best Actress Oscar [for the only time in Oscar history, there was a major effort to have her still win by being a "write-in" candidate, but that failed, which was likely the greatest travesty in the history of the Academy Awards!]; as so often happens, Davis was given the Best Actress Oscar the following year for Dangerous, as a "consolation" prize for being robbed the year before!; as Mildred), Frances Dee, Kay Johnson, Reginald Denny, Alan Hale Sr., and Reginald Owen. Note that this movie was remade twice, in 1946 with Eleanor Parker and in 1964 with Kim Novak, and while both those actresses did excellent jobs, Davis' performance remains the definitive one!
