All This, and Heaven Too
1940 Nominee

100 Words
Is this too shocking for an alternate title? It refers to the nasty gossip surrounding Bette D in this tale of a governess taken for granted and taken advantage of by the parents of four delightful children. More of a mother than their mother, Mademoiselle D swept into the family and revived an ailing, extremely adorable young lad. Newspapers talked all the smack before the Internet (where I write this exquisite blog) became a thing. Before it swept the Voorhees family in its clutches (no relation to Jason, see Five Star Final), it nearly cost lovely Bette her fictional career.
