“Bette Davis plays loyal wife to hard-working NYC cabby Ernest Borgnine. Borgnine is very close to realizing his dream to actually own his own taxi cab, complete with special licence, at last being his own boss.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll would be well, if not their young daughter Debbie Reynolds had announced her sudden plans to marry blue-blood Rod Taylor. Davis, unphased by the limited financial means, is determined to u0026quot;giveu0026quot; their daughter a big wedding. The figures to foot the bill reach astronomical proportions, making everyone but Davis nervous. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe not entirely predictable outcome is one of the most satisfying Hollywood movie endings ever. — This film was Bette Davisu0026#39; personal favorite; she called her performance u0026quot;my proudest effortu0026quot;. As a fan of all 4 stars, I agree that u0026quot;A Catered Affairu0026quot; is one of the very best films Bette Davis has ever starred in. u0026quot;Cinema Candyu0026quot; all the way through!”
