Mr. Skeffington belongs to the latter class. It’s too long, overwrought, often silly, bordering dangerously on the edge of camp, and yet it remains mostly entertaining, thanks to the professionalism of director Vincent Sherman, screenwriters Julius and Philip Epstein, cinematographer Ernest Haller, and much of the cast.
Synopsis. In 1914, beautiful Fanny Trellis is courted by many men including Jim Conderley, Ed Morrison and Thatcher. One evening, while her suitors wait downstairs, Fanny's cousin, George Trellis, returns home after several years away. George learns that contrary to their extravagant lifestyle, Fanny and her brother Trippy have no money.
There is plenty of humour, some of which is quite dark, and most of which is underplayed, and this prevents the overly generous dollops of sentimentality from becoming too toe-curlingly saccharine. Director Vincent Sherman succeeds in getting a great performance not only from Bette Davis, but also from her co-stars, Claude Rains and Walter Abel.
