The wonderfully named Irving Rapper never did much else of great note in a four decade Hollywood career, but watching Now, Voyager it seems like enough. The plot is overcooked and deeply silly, the music florid and the acting overwrought. But it still works, thanks to a sympathetic script and some nice directorial flourishes. Best of all, though, are Bette Davis’ awesome ‘ugly chick’ eyebrows in the early scenes.
