Just recently British soap opera Eastenders produced its most successful (and controversial) plotline in years based around a baby-swap scenario. Well 70 years earlier Warner Brothers were way ahead of them; The Great Lie is pure soap opera, featuring sham marriages, unwanted pregnancies, and two razor sharp women at each other's throats, but in many ways it was well ahead of its time. Davis and Astor provide the backbone of the film, while Astor has the baitier role (as proven by her Oscar win) it is Davis for me who has rarely been more likeable a screen presence than here. She lights up the screen without exception, and plays the good girl just as brilliantly as the she did the bad girl that most will remember her as. The film's biggest weakness however is its script which was notoriously rewritten during filming, yet still contains a number of poorly concocted and frankly confusing exchanges. Overall however this is another entertaining melodrama in the Davis canon, which any fan of either the star or the genre should make time for.

Good movie with great performances by Bette Davis and Mary Astor. Kinda interesting to see Ms. Davis as the "good" one. :) Oscar-winning performance by Ms. Astor.

a lot of people like to say that davis handed astor this film. it's safe to assume that bette davis handed nothing to no one. astor earned her kudos for her work in this film. next to julianne moore in 'an ideal husband', she is the most delicious bitch in an american film. period. another amzing aspect of this film is its stylishness. warners was so tight with budget, yet the stars of this film--all of them--look fabulous. mcdaniel's aprons and cotton dresses are crisp, lucile watson wear well-tailored suits, davis and astor look utterly gorgeous and the men are creased and tailored within an inch of their lives. plus the sets and lighting are lush, and that max steiner music sweeping and swooshing all over the place! this is a star vehicle plus!

This Edmund Goulding-Bette Davis soap opera has achieved notoriety for several reasons, a presposterous plot, Mary Astor's one and only Oscar, and catfights on the set between the two ladies!

Predictable to a fault, even Bette Davis can't save this film.
