(By W. Somerset Maugham) (Dir. John Cromwell) (1934)
Philip is a club-footed dill and Mildred is a troll. This book is a remarkably honest confession by Maugham (although he steadfastly denied it was autobiography). The teaming of Leslie Howard and Bette Davis in the film is apt but Bette’s role is overripe and unfortunately it shows. Then again, maybe that’s why WSM started batting for the other team.
