How Bette Davis Saved My Life

Three non-traditional Christmas movies for your holiday enjoyment! 

"Perfume" (1991) One wild soap opera; sex, women in biz , infidelity, mental illness, addiction just to get started! But the early 90's fashion is gorgeous and over the top! They all look like black Barbie dolls! 

"Daphne Laureola" (1978) Sir Lawrence Olivier and Dame Joan Plowright star.  Joan plays Lady Pitts to Olivier (real life hubby) Baronette Pitts and she is odd to say the least as she flirts with a way younger man she doesn't remember flirting with originally. 

"The Best Place to Be" (1979) Donna Reed stars as a recently widowed, middle aged woman starting over in life and love as she faces financial and familial pressures while falling in love again.
