harwee h A solid film overall. Not as special as I had expected though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Ana B Bette & Gary play off each other in a believable way, creating tension. Jealousy, hate, and murder. I loved the plot, executed in an interesting old world village, with the nosy neighbor to keep you on edge. There is so much to recommend it, and it's one surprise after another, moving quickly & unpredictable. Great popcorn 🍿 movie. Twists & turns galore. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Steve D Should have been fun but none will be found. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review philip w This is a good one - good story and well done - Bette is brill as usual Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/22 Full Review Audience Member Another Man's Poison (Streaming on Tubi which if you can tolerate a few adds...is free and has tons of old tv and Movies). This is version of the play Deadlock (the playwright is in the movie playing the Vet). The movie is ok but is made watchable by Bette Davis having fun with it (Gary Merrill the Male lead was her husband at the time). 3 stars out of 5. Side note why is it playwright instead of playwriter....a playwright should be a ghost who haunts old theaters. (I do know it is the other use of wright for maker...like wheelwright) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review David P This is a solid film. The performances are excellent. Many reviewers quibble about the plot. Plots are just one element of a film and this plot is basically good and filled with authentic human emotions. Bette Davis is outstanding and the chemistry between Bette and husband Gary Merrill is like watching two tigers go at each other. Many reviewers review the discontent during production. Why not review the film, the plot, the acting. Reviewing production problems is NOT reviewing a film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/10/21 Full Review Read all reviews
