huh?, December 15, 2005
i'm baffled at these negative reviews and at that price,$99?! jeez. saw this on TCM and thought that this was a good movie.bette davis is the best actress of all-time,just look at her expressions,they say it all. this isn't a great movie i'm afraid as the other characters in the movie are a little less to be desired.but the always good davis and the story line,especially the way it ends are the reasons to see this film. but at that price? not really.wait for it to come back on TCM or something.

Entertaining Bette Davis feature., May 22, 2006
I enjoyed this film and don't understand the overly harsh reviews in some of the comments. It is not Bette's best, but certainly not her worst. Bette and the supporting cast, especially Emlyn Williams, make the film very enjoyable, even though the outcome is somewhat predictable. The DVD has a Bette Davis filmography as an added attraction, but there are no other special features. This DVD had a very limited printing, which explains the high prices requested for used copies. They are indeed hard to find. This movie is shown on Turner Classic Movies cable channel about once a year, so wait to see it there. Hopefully it will get another run on DVD in the future with some extra features included. Bette Davis and Gary Merrill were early in their marriage when this film was made, and they play well against one another, although at times both seem to overact a bit. Regardless of the other comments, you can reasonably expect to enjoy this film if you like Bette Davis.

I WANT YOU AND I HATE YOU ALL AT ONCE! OH BETTE!!!, May 25, 2005
This review is from: Another Man's Poison [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie, despite the unkind reviews. The story was fresh and the dialogue was sharp, NOBODY CAN DELIVER A LINE LIKE BETTE DAVIS!!! She plays the evil dame with such grace and finnesse that you cant help wanting her to triumph in the end! So sit back, turn off the lights, and enjoy Bette Davis being so bad she's good!!!
