About This Item
Six years after exploding to stardom in Of Human Bondage,Bette Davis equalled that excitement with another W. Somerset Maugham role as an adulteress using her sexual wiles to escape a murder conviction in The Letter. The film throbs with sultry tension thanks to Davis, an impeccable supporting cast, atmospheric cinematography and the artistry of 3 time Academy Award winner* William Wyler, Davis' director on Jezebel and The Little Foxes.
