Steve D Parker is a great actress but the film is a poor imitation. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable well-done 1946 film, set in England circa 1890s but apparently filmed in the USA, it is another view on life in the Victorian era for the upper-crust and the working-servant class. The plot deals in many themes of interest to all but especially those under 30. The book by the same name is well-regarded and this film inspires interest in the book and larger analysis it inspires. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review ashley h Of Human Bondage is a decent film. It is about a medical student with a club foot falls for a beautiful but ambitious waitress. Paul Henreid and Eleanor Parker give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Edmund Goulding did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and romance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r I just like Henreid. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Most movies made in England turn me off Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Static, pedestrian version of the Maugham classic. While the Bette Davis film may be dated and overdone she makes it pulsate with emotion. Eleanor Parker is a fine actress but her take on the slut Mildred is pale in comparison to the visceral animal Davis made of her. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
