Strangers is a fine made for TV drama, short on plot, but long and deep on character portrayal. The two characters here are mother and daughter Bette Davis and Gena Rowlands and Gena Rowlands has come home to her Rhode Island home town after years away.
Davis is not thrilled to see her and we only get bits and pieces of why she left and stayed away. It was a nasty split though.
The film is the story of their reconciliation and Rowlands has a terrible secret that she eventually tells Davis.
Bette Davis won an Emmy to go with her two Oscars for Strangers. It's a pity that the Emmy couldn't be given jointly to both women. Davis and Rowlands play beautifully off each other.
One of the best made for TV films out there. For Gena's and Bette's fans a must.
