BEYOND THE FOREST (King VIDOR, 1949) Bette DAVIS & Joseph COTTEN

[NKLattimer]

The family of the author of the book, has the rights tied up (so I have heard). It was on TCM a few times but the copyright came up and now it's frozen. The VHS copy is the only one available. This film is a King Vidor classic. The editing is WILD, it has fade ins and outs that are great! I love when the narrator in the beginning says "Rosa Moline" and the train whistle goes "TOOT TOOT" right after her name. IT's a CAMP classic and deserves a Criterion Collection edition!!!

I can´t find this movie, no torrent, no blog downloads and of course no dvd! It´s a shame!

I can't remember where I read it, but Bette Davis said this is one of her least favorite movies that she made.

Someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post the whole movie! Or, short of that, let us know where online we can find it. Danke =^)

''Only one person in this town who does anybody a real favour that's the undertaker!Carries them out.''Devine Bette.I love the way she pronounces this phrase.

I LOVE her in this movie , she is so deliciously low , i read somewhere that she hated this film and she didnt want to do it ,but it was the only way to get the studio to release her from her contract ,so it was her "ticket" out of Warners..

The following year she did her brilliant Margo Channing ...All About Eve .

@hlywdplayer "deliciously low" is a great way to describe her in this. I'm trying to find her "What a dump!" scene. :)

[MrBBJane]

@Jayee123 : The "What a dump !" scene is just 20 seconds before this one... ;-)
