NOTES
Videodisc (DVD) release of the 1944 motion picture
Dealing openly with anti-Semitism and Nazi atrocities, the story spans World War I, Prohibition and the prelimanary volley of World War II. Fanny (Bette Davis) thrives on the adulation of countless suiters before and after she marries Job Skeffington (Claude Rains). Ravaged by age and illness, Fanny clings to Job's promise that "a woman is beautiful only when she is loved."
Directed by Vincent Sherman ; screenplay by Julius J. & Philip G. Epstein ; from a story by "Elizabeth" ; music by Franz Waxman
