Bette Davis: Larger Than Life

Tweet

Review
Richard Schickel and George Perry’s admiration for Davis shines through this sumptuous tome without ever resorting to sickly over-reverence. Filled with excellent portraits, family snapshots and a comprehensive film-by-film analysis, Davis’ own wit punctuates the pages. A lavish and comprehensive read that does full justice to its endlessly fascinating subject.
