The Letter (1940)


THE LETTER  (1940)  
¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
    D: William Wyler
    Bette Davis, Herbert Marshall, James Stephenson,
    Gale Sondergaard, Cecil Kellaway, Sen Yung
This movie takes place in Singapore and starts out with Bette Davis firing a revolver at a guy five or six times, killing him. The rest of the movie is about why she did that, and what happens as a result. Believe her if you want to (whichever story she happens to be telling), but never trust Bette Davis with a loaded revolver, is all I've got to say.
