Continuity: When Bette Davis is riding the horse and the horse refuses the jump and falls down, Davis (or the stunt-rider) clearly falls on her left side. But in the next scene, when her sister asks, 'How's the shoulder?' Davis wiggles her right shoulder and says it's 'all right.' moreQuotes:

One of cinema's greatest tearjerkers. Another movie transformed into pure magic by Bette's genius as an actress. One of her biggest hits, this is the tender and heartbreaking story of a woman trying to make sense of her own existence. It is Bette's show all the way, and she is supported by Ernest Haller's beautiful camera work and Max Steiner's unforgettable score.
