Book Vs. Movie: Now, Voyager
The 1941 Novel Vs. the 1942 Movie

Olive Higgins Prouty's 1941 novel Now, Voyager was later adapted into a 1942 film starring Bette Davis. This powerful story follows Charlotte Vale, a repressed woman controlled by her domineering mother. After a breakdown, Charlotte undergoes a transformative journey, finding independence and love with a married man, Jerry Durrance. Bette Davis delivers a memorable performance in the film, capturing Charlotte’s transformation. The iconic scene where Jerry lights two cigarettes and hands one to Charlotte symbolizes their deep connection. Now, Voyager remains a classic of Hollywood’s Golden Age, praised for portraying mental health and female empowerment. Which version did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out. In this ep, the Margos discuss:
