You will not forget Bette as the hedonistic and reckless Joyce Heath, she really dominates this film. That don't stop Tone who hears his hormones calling.

She broke many a heart in her day and even she considers herself a jinx to any who get involved with her. But one fateful night he meets up with Bette Davis who was once big, but is now down and out. In fact at one point in the film it's mentioned that a play that Franchot Tone is interested in being the financial backer of could only be played by Bette's character Joyce Heath and Jeanne Eagels.įranchot Tone is a dapper successful young architect to the rich and famous and he's got a few bucks himself and he's engaged to society dÃ©butante Margaret Lindsay. Her character of Joyce Heath is rather obviously based on Jeanne Eagels who was only dead six years and who many had vivid memories of on stage and screen. There were a number of films that woman carried by sheer force of nature and this is probably the best example of one. We're it not for the fact that Bette Davis won her first Academy Award in Dangerous, this film would hardly be remembered by anyone except the most ardent Bette Davis fans.

'Dangerous' is a little bit dated, but what isn't, 70 years later.

The lovely Margaret Lindsay is Tone's discarded fiancÃ©, and there's a wonderful performance by Alison Skipworth as Tone's housekeeper.ĭavis, of course, draws all of the focus, with the fire in her eyes, the bite in her voice, and those flashes of vulnerability. Smooth and classy, he's the type of leading man that one doesn't see anymore, and he's a good romantic lead for her. She never was.ĭavis costars in this film with Franchot Tone, who plays an architect that brings the Davis character out of the gutter, only to find himself face down in it himself. Over the years, with the advent of television, acting has become more intimate, more natural, and Davis' complaint about the newer approach was that it can also be boring. What Davis gives is very much a stage performance - with the invention of talkies, the studios raided the theater for actors who could speak, and Bette Davis was among them. If she seems at times a little over the top, it can be attributed to the acting style of those days, which was a carryover from the stage. It is in this film and the earlier 'Of Human Bondage' that the Davis image really solidifies - high energy, strong, smoking, and smokin'.
