A tender love story, a taut psychological drama, an inspiring tale of physical and spiritual transformation. Now, Voyager is all three, as well as a Bette Davis career milestone, resulting in her sixth Best Actress Oscar® nomination. She magically plays Charlotte Vale, a spinster who defies her domineering mother (fellow Oscar® nominee Gladys Cooper) to discover love, heartbreak and eventual contentment.
More magic is generated by a top-notch ensemble, Max Steiner's Academy Award®-winning score and an improvised moment by Paul Henreid that became an instant classic: he lights two cigarettes at once and hands one to Davis. For the ultimate in romantic melodrama, it's Now, Voyager now, then and forever.
