    Storyline:
    Abandoning artistic ambitions, sensitive and club-footed Philip Carey enrolls in medical school and falls in love with a waitress Mildred Rogers. She rejects him, runs off with a salesman and returns unmarried and pregnant. Philip gets her an apartment and they become engaged. Mildred runs off with another medical student. Philip takes her back again when she returns with her baby. She wrecks his apartment and burns the securities he needs to pay tuition. He gets a job as a salesman, has surgery on his foot, receives an inheritance, and returns to school where he learns Mildred is dying.
    Reviews:
    "Bette Davis turns in a coldly amusing performance as Mildred Rogers in this 1934 film. The film seems rather dated now in 2003. It is no doubt well worth watching for film buffs and Bette Davis fans but may not have as much appeal for the average movie watcher today. It was startling for me to see how young Ms. Davis looks in this move. The actors turn in performances which are basically sound and the story is meaningful and interesting. Leslie Howard is well cast as Philip Carey, the club-footed medical student.
    This is a film with a strong message about whom we choose to love and why. However, "Of Human Bondage" didn't seem to have a strong impact on me mentally or emotionally. I felt slightly indifferent and detached about the movie after viewing it. I have an intuition that this may be the reaction that the director was going for. You be the judge!"

    Sorry. At 15 I read all Somerset Maugham books. Now at 80 I appreciate I started off on those but at 80 ..... I’ve moved on to biography . It was still a joy to see where he used to write at Raffels in Singapore but they have modernised. It will never be the same again. Thank goodness I saw it in time.

    I usually don't like colorization of black & white movies. But somehow this example enhances the film. Davis is extraordinary and matched by Howard's brilliance. A masterpiece.

      Agreed i was part way thru when i took a break and found this colorized version ..i am enjoying it much more. I had actually forgotten how Bette Davis looked&;acted in her youth; the 80's song about Bette Davis eyes is coming to mind..she was remarkably beautiful and so very vulnerable. So was he..touching film..i always think of her as an older witty woman..oddly. masterpiece indeed

    Excellent film!!! Great cast! I will never understand how so many want the “hard to get”, self centered person. I had friends that treated their boyfriends horribly and they stuck around! It doesn’t make sense. And when you care for them and respect them, they treat you bad. Us humans are odd!

    It`s interesting. This movie made me realize that throughout my entire life, I have never met a woman who wanted a man just because he had money.
    It`s almost gospel that many women are money hunters, and one takes it for granted as a fact of life and doesn`t think about it extensively. But when you think about it, you come to the conclusion that the majority of women just want to love and be loved.
