The acting is what elevates this film, but surprisingly it's not so much from Bette Davis as it is from Paul Lucas, who is great in his role. From the very beginning, you'll know what's going on, and slowly but surely, all the characters will also come to learn the truth. A well-written screenplay with a very powerful finale.
