A Piano for Mrs. Cimino [VHS] Reviews
| 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful  DAVIS DELIVERS..., By This review is from: Piano for Mrs. Cimino [VHS] (VHS Tape) Legendary screen star Bette Davis gives one of her finest performances as Esther Cimino, a 73 year old woman who goes off the deep end shortly after being widowed. Hastily diagnosed by a doctor as having senile dementia, the befuddled and clearly confused Mrs. Cimino is adjudicated incompetent and has her home, business, and other assets placed in the hands of a questionable trustee, as her sons ineffectually look on. Mrs. Cimino's loving granddaughter, Karen, sees to her welfare, usurping her father, Mrs. Cimino's son, who is all too ready to consign his mother to a sterile and expensive institution. Karen places her grandmother in a caring, convalescent home, which is governed by a director who has a personal rapport with all those in her care. Under the director's patient ministrations, Mrs. Cimino's memory and mind heal, only to discover that her sons have allowed the trustee to sell her home and all her personal belongings, including her beloved piano.

HOLTHOF (HOLLAND, MI United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Piano for Mrs. Cimino [VHS] (VHS Tape) An excellent film. Bette Davis is beyond equal in her betrayal of what happens to elderly people when life creates change and they cannot adapt. Also focuses on the family, their eagerness to make her appear confused and put her away in a nursing home for their convenience. This film depicts how Mrs. Cimino's granddaughter rescues and rehabilitates her grandmother. As an AACN board certified RN in Gerontology, I see this happen every day. Maybe if more people were aware of this movie, we would treat our elderly in a more caring manner. You might not be old now, but you will be someday. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful One of Bette Davis' best performances !!!, By A Customer This review is from: Piano for Mrs. Cimino [VHS] (VHS Tape) Through the death of her husband, Mrs Cimino [Davis] has retreated into a secluded life, convincing her family and the courts that she has lost her sanity. Her personal rights are all taken away, but with the help of her grand-daughter she must fight to regain her sanity and control of her life. Bette Davis quotes in her autobiography that this portrayal was one of her best. I found this film poignant and inspirational showing the capabilities of one's own personal stength and will-power. |
