"The Great Lie" (1941) is a thoroughly enjoyable vehicle for so many reasons. Aside from the entertaining - and beautifully photographed - story starring Bette, George Brent ("Dark Victory") and Mary Astor (the imperious, spoiled concert virtuoso), we take great pleasure in Hattie McDaniel's ("Mammy" in "GWTW") delightful performance.
