Reality as Thou

Now, Voyager
(117 minutes, 1942)
Charlotte Vale (Bette Davis) has never been out from under the domination of her mother until she enters a sanitarium. Transformed into an elegant, independent woman, Charlotte begins to blossom as an individual. On a cruise, she meets and falls in love for the first time with a man named Jerry (Paul Henreid) --who turns out to be married. Upon her return, Charlotte confronts her mother, who dies of a heart attack soon after. Guilt-ridden and despondent, Charlotte returns to the sanitarium, where she meets Tina. a depressed young woman who begins to find happiness with her new friend Charlotte. The connection they share is more than friendship: Tina is Jerry's daughter. Through her friendship with Charlotte, Tina finds happiness, and the pair go back to Charlotte's home in Boston. When Jerry sees how happy his daughter is, he allows her to remain with Charlotte.
