Also yeah, this is the last halloween art of 2023

:( I'm super devastated since I was gonna make more twst, papa Louie and other Fandom art, again if we wanna blame someone we can blame my teachers WHY WOULD YOU ASSIGN HOMEWORK CLOSE TO HALLOWEN

Day 83- Film: The Star 

Release date: December 11th, 1952. 

Studio: 20th Century Fox 

Genre: Drama 

Director: Stuart Heisler 

Producer: Bert E. Friedlob 

Actors: Bette Davis, Sterling Hayden, Natalie Wood 

Plot Summary: Margaret Elliot is a bankrupt fading movie star in her forties who cannot accept that she isn’t the young bombshell anymore. Feeling especially despondent one night, she crashes her car while driving drunk and ends up in jail. A forgotten friend from the past comes to bail her out and help her find some footing. But can Margaret ever be realistic about her place in contemporary Hollywood? 

My Rating (out of five stars): *** ½ 

I was super excited to watch this today- it's one of those “why haven’t I seen this yet?” kinds of movies for me. I adore Bette Davis, and I also like Sterling Hayden. Honestly, though, this ended up being kind of disappointing. It’s by no means bad, but it has some issues. 

The Good: 

Bette Davis. She’s an icon. She’s one of the most talented actresses of the Classical Hollywood era. She bleeds stature and charisma. She’s perfect for the role of a movie star. Unfortunately, the movie star in this film is written as an utterly pathetic creature, and it often hog-ties her. 

Sterling Hayden. There’s always been something appealing to me about him, and I can’t quite explain it. He’s not a virtuoso actor, but he is interesting. 

Natalie Wood. She was really sweet and good this. 

The thought of even entertaining the idea of someone like Crawford or Davis working in a department store! It’s so ridiculous! But ridiculously fascinating to watch. 

The digs at Joan Crawford. Apparently this was written by two one-time good friends of Crawford. The character is clearly more like her than Davis. I see Davis as someone who has enough confidence and awareness to handle fading fame without it killing her inside. 

Portraying the realities of aging actresses in the Classical Hollywood era. This part was very painful and sad to watch. Davis was only in her mid-forties in this film. In today’s Hollywood her choices of roles would still be more limited, but she could still play sexy desirable leading roles. Look at someone like Cate Blanchet who’s had virtually no trouble finding good roles throughout her 40s. 

The scene when she’s watching her screen test and recognizing how bad it is. That was especially heartbreaking, with a mixture of some pathetic comeuppance added in. 

The name drops and Hollywood references at the time. The scene where she gives us a driving tour lists real names, and the scene in a producer’s office has photographs of real stars on the wall, etc. 

The time flew by- it was one of the fastest seeming films of the project. It was very entertaining, even if not always good. 

The Bad: 

The overwrought melodrama. Again, this got in the way of Davis’ performance, and it also got in the way of really making Margaret a fully rounded sympathetic character.  

The ending. It’s kind of All About Eve on steroids- the idea that when an older woman is “washed up,” she just needs a man and the focus of being a wife. Now, on the one hand, family is extremely important as a support in one’s life. The message of needing love is fine by me. It’s the idea that a woman is never completely a woman unless she’s a wife. Her role may have been as an actress with a career, but her most important role is being a wife. Once she realizes that, her problems are over. It’s very patriarchal- if a man stays a bachelor, no one says he’s not fully a man. There’s not this idea that he needs to be a husband to find the true purpose of his life. 

I never really bought the romance/chemistry between Hayden and Davis. I was even hoping they wouldn’t have a romantic relationship and it would become something more interesting. 

It sometimes felt like the movie was being a little cruel to Davis and middle-aged women. It often felt like there was a neon sign in the room saying “Isn’t she pitiful? She’s a pathetic old hag!” It clearly promoted the idea that society (which means men, mostly) doesn’t value a woman who isn’t young and sexy. I think the movie may have been slightly criticizing that, but barely. It just felt really cruel, like it was saying Margaret was pathetic for even thinking she had value like young women do.
