You think I have a fucking clue over what The Secret of Santa Vittoria is?

Yet another movie I've never heardzzzz ofzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Scooter]

Well neither of you know what you're missing.

So probably time for a clue - it stars Bette Davis, who splits her time between cruise ships and psychiatric care.

Yes, but what does she do in the movie?

[MajGenl.Meade]

Same here.

As for the current quote, I disqualified myself, but the movie in question is older than my mother and came out the same year my Dad was born. I realize I'm one of the younger people on here (being in my 40s) but when we are talking movies made IN the 40s I couldn't guess one from the other. While I'm certain I've seen at least one movie from the 1940s and likely more (my sister loved watching Cary Grant and Betty Grable films on AMC back in the 1980s), I can't name one off the top of my head.

[MajGenl.Meade]

The Little Foxes?

[Guinevere]

I'm also on the younger side of the board demographic, and I enjoy old movies (I've watched them since I was a kid with both my grandmother and my mom) and I still don't know the answer to the current question.

I'm more of a Bacall than a Bette Davis fan.

[Scooter]

Bette Davis plays the youngest child of a domineering mother who didn't want another child (and Davis's character knows this). She grows up with no self-confidence and is at the point of a nervous breakdown until the help of a caring psychiatrist and a shipboard romance with a man in an unhappy marriage turn her life around.

I have given away most of the plot, so if no one gets it after that, I'm going to have to scrap it and try another film.

[Lord Jim]

After that last clue I now know it, but I'm not eligible...

You're right; if after that nobody else gets it , you might as well just go with a new one...

(And unless Big RR shows up today, I'd bet that at this point nobody else is going to get it... )

[Big RR]

Well I waited and the Bette Davis makes me thing I'm right--Now, Voyager?

[Scooter]

Yes

[Big RR]

OK a new one--still from a while back, but not as old as the last one (OK--here's a hint, it's from the 60s):

A: Very poetic, gentlemen. Let me know when we pass the soul.

B: The soul? The finite mind cannot comprehend infinity - and the soul, which comes from God, is infinite.

A: Yes, well, our time isn't.

A decent movie (but then I haven't seen it for a long time) based on a fun to read better book.

I'm pretty sure that this one is "Fantastic Voyage", based on the novel of the same name by Isaac Asimov.
There have been other versions, included an animated one, but the first one with Raquel Welch was the best.
And you're correct, Big RR — an excellent read.
