Feeling despondent, she's convinced to spend time in a sanitarium. Soon she is transformed into a sophisticated, confident woman. On a cruise to South America, Charlotte meets and begins an affair with Jerry Durrance, a married architect. Six months later, she returns home and confronts her mother with her independence. One day, after a brief argument, her mother has a heart attack and dies. Charlotte inherits the Vale fortune but feels guilty of her mother's death. She returns to the sanitarium, where she befriends a depressed young adolescent, Tina. The young girl's depression was brought on by being rejected by her mother--Charlotte's former lover Jerry's wife. Charlotte takes Tina home to Boston with her.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Film délectable qui réunit la grande Betty David et le comédien Paul Heinreid. Le réalisateur donne à voir la métamorphose d'une femme rendue casanière, névrosée et laide par la tyrannie d'une mère qui la tient en laisse, vers la nouvelle femme qu'elle deviendra grâce aux bons soins d'un psychiatre qui l'accueille dans son établissement de santé (et qui l'éloigne de fait de la source de son mal). La chrysalide deviendra bien sûr papillon grâce à la découverte de l'amour (mais en est-il jamais autrement dans la vraie vie ?). Ce qui frappe et charme dans ce film tourné en 1942, c'est la liberté avec laquelle le réalisateur fait évoluer son personnage. Peu soucieux des conventions de l'époque et des croyances qui persistent encore aujourd'hui sur les conditions et modèles du bonheur, Irving Rapper affirme que l'on peut s'affranchir et s'accomplir en dehors des codes traditionnels. Ainsi, Charlotte - femme devenue beau papillon - embrasse l'idée de continuer à nourrir son amour pour un homme marié dont elle ne pourra partager le quotidien, mais avec lequel elle partagera l'amour qu'ils portent l'un et l'autre à la fille de ce dernier (enfant également rejetée par sa mère... le sacro-saint amour maternel en prend décidément plein son grade). La scène finale dans laquelle Charlotte et Jerry (l'homme qu'elle aime) contemplent le ciel étoilé porte pleinement cette idée que l'on peut faire sien tout ce que l'on aime, à commencer par les étoiles. Aucune limite ne s'impose, si ce n'est celles que l'on s'invente. Una apasionante historia de amor, un tenso melodrama psicológico, un inspirado cuento sobre la transformación física y espiritual. Davis interpreta a Charlotte Vale, una solterona amargada y controlada por su dominante e insensible madre que es persuadida por su psiquiatra para que descubra el amor, la angustia y la eventual alegría.

Maybe the 1940s were the very last period in which this story would make sense. It was released during wartime, and though there is nothing in it about the war (again, unlike Casablanca) the war makes relevant its themes of self-sacrifice and transcending one’s own emotional unhappiness. At the same time, it is almost ecstatically driven by unhappiness: emotional rocket fuel. Davis’s performance is at once spiky and angular and yet also soft, sensual and vulnerable. The excellent Henreid is perfectly cast. This film is exquisitely crafted and passionately acted. Repressed spinster Bette Davis awakens to the joys of life and Paul Henreid in Irving Rapper’s classic 1942 study in schmaltz. Not great filmmaking, but indispensable to students of 40s pop culture. This is the one in which Henreid lights two cigarettes at once, a show of dexterity that his subsequent career never equaled. The aggressive score is by Max Steiner; with Claude Rains, Gladys Cooper, Bonita Granville, and John Loder "Now, Voyager," either because of the Hays office or its own spurious logic, endlessly complicates an essentially simple theme. For all its emotional hair-splitting, it fails to resolve its problems as truthfully as it pretends....It is in these endless renunciations that the story moves from a direct and common-sense dramatic treatment into a prudish fantasy. Chained to a personal unhappiness, the lover's refusal to consummate his love for Miss Davis itself becomes a suspicious symptom. His nobility is phony—in his self-enforced martyrdom he is no less neurotic than the woman he has helped to bring to life.... Although "Now, Voyager" starts out bravely, it ends exactly where it started—and after two lachrymose hours. Now, Voyager, an excursion into psychiatry, is almost episodic in its writing. It affords Bette Davis one of her superlative acting roles, that of a neurotic spinster fighting to free herself from the shackles of a tyrannical mother. A spinster still recalling the frustration of a girlhood love. Gehört zu VerlagsreihenThe Criterion Collection (1004) Ist enthalten inIst eine Adaptation von
