A horrible movie


Bette Davis was way too old to play Fanny. She wasn't even remotely attractive enough to play the character. I started watching the film when Joe first approached her about her brother's theft and, by the way she talked and looked, I thought she was a mentally challenged individual. The idea dozens of men , during this period of history, would publicly humiliate themselves to curry her favor was ludicrous. And the idea they'd do it again, 25 years later- with their wives in tow- was even more absurd. Finally, a destitute, blind Joe crawling back for a handout was completely unbelievable. I mean, the guy had a daughter and son-in-law to turn to. Not to mention the fact Fanny Jr., a supposedly very intelligent woman, would suddenly, out of the blue, fall for such a vapid empty suit. I'd rate this movie about two stars below Gremlins 3.

Well, the point of the party 25 years later was that none of the men were trying to curry her favor at that point. Except the coffee guy, who was obviously doing it for the money.
