The two lead characters are overdrawn, overplayed. Leslie Howard, as the character who is author Somerset Maugham's alterego, is too gullible, too forgiving, too desperate to pull at our heartstrings. Bette Davis, as the love interest who repeatedly shafts him, is too crass, too cold-blooded. It all makes for great fun, because we know what's coming and still are hoping against hope that this poor fool won't get hurt again.

The best scene wasn't when she said, "I wiped my mouth!" It was when she was shown dead. I mean, that woman looked DEAD. From what I understand, Bette Davis always played roles like this.

The movie that made a household name out of Bette Davis.
