It's true, recommending a Davis movie is a breeze as so many have held up remarkably well. I have noticed more people mentioning Mr. Skeffington of late--that's a great one, Davis playing a legendary beauty, which she was not. But you watch the movie convinced that she is, she was that good an actress. I still think Davis would have made the definitive Martha, good though Taylor is in the movie.
