The Letter/1940/Warner Bros. Pictures/95 min.
Some things never change. Whether you are talking via texts or parchment paper and feather pens, femmes fatales should always take care to destroy any incriminating evidence of the “Dear So and So,” variety. If in doubt, just watch the formidable Bette Davis in “The Letter” directed by William Wyler, a masterful director and the perfect match for Davis.
I saw The Letter a long time ago (whoops, not too long ago) & didn’t know that Somerset Maugham was the original author of the play. He seems to understand how ladies (?) act & react. Davis is so slick, sjhe makes you want her to win. As for her weakie husband, I agree after 10 yrs, he might get a clue.
