Of Human Bondage

This 1934 adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's classic 1915 novel still stands out as the best. With Leslie Howard as the clubfooted disillusioned Philip Carey countered by Bette Davis as the gutterly Mildred Rogers, OF HUMAN BONDAGE stands out not only for it screen content at the time but for many unique shots and blockings provided by legendary director John Cromwell. While slightly overdramatic at times even by todays standards, Davis as Rogers still will send your Spidey senses a tingling...shamed to say I've know far too many women like this leading lady! In any case, keep your eyes posted for this gem in the late night movie section of your telecaster.
