Old Acquaintance (Sherman, 1943): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 5.40pm
This 35mm presentation, part of the Bette Davis season at BFI Southbank, is also being screened on August 22nd. Full details here.
BFI southbank introduction:
A successful writer (Bette Davis) and her childhood friend (Miriam Hopkins) find
themselves at odds when the latter becomes a writer herself and creates
an unhealthy rivalry between them that extends to their families and
relationships. The real-life feud between Hollywood heavyweights Davis
and Hopkins underpins the one on screen, and makes for compelling
viewing.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
