All This, and Heaven Too

In 1840s Paris, Henriette Deluzy-Desportes arrives from abroad to serve as governess to the four children of the Duc and Duchesse de Praslin. The household is strained by the duchess's jealousy and need for control, and she resents any affection her estranged husband shows toward others. Henriette's gift for teaching restores the children's spirits, and the duke begins to take notice of her. The duchess, determined to rid herself of the governess, dismisses her, while the growing attachment between Henriette and the duke leads toward tragedy. The film is based on the novel by Rachel Field, who wrote the screenplay with Casey Robinson.

Anatole Litvak directed and produced the film, which followed The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse and The Sisters in his filmography; he went on to make Blues in the Night and Why We Fight: Prelude to War. Bette Davis stars as Henriette opposite Charles Boyer as the duke, with Barbara O'Neil as the duchess. Jeffrey Lynn, Virginia Weidler and Helen Westley appear among the 52 credited cast members, and the production cost about 1 million dollars.
