Show Notes

Bette Davis is the "nice guy" in this 1943 dramedy co-starring Miriam Hopkins as her nicesty (nice+nasty) BFFL.  These two play rivals in everything ranging from men, motherhood and money.  And, the vitriol seems so real because their off screen bitter feud translated so well on screen.
