{{quote|''"What man is suitable, doctor? She's never found one. What man would ever look at me and say, 'I want you.'? I'm fat. My mother doesn't approve of dieting. Look at my shoes. My mother approves of sensible shoes. Look at the books on my shelves. My mother approves of good solid books. I'm my mother's well-loved daughter. I'm her companion. I am my mother's servant. My mother says! My mother. My mother! MY MOTHER!"''}}
 
[[Academy Award|Oscar-winning]] 1942 film starring [[Bette Davis]], [[Paul Henreid]], and [[Claude Rains]]. A romantic [[weepie]], '''''Now, Voyager''''' is probably a perfect example of the 'woman's film' of the 40s.
Line 10:
This classic Hollywood [[melodrama]] was well-received at the time, and is seen as one of Davis' definitive films. The scene where Jerry lights two cigarettes and hands one to Charlotte became famous as a subtle way of implying an intimate relationship. The three stars reunited later for ''[[Deception]]''.
