Sisters Emily and Charlotte Bront? lived to write, weaving tales rich with characters, incident and passion from the poor Yorkshire vicarage they called home. Devotion tells the story ' with more than a dash of literary license ' of these daring women who created Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Ida Lupino and Olivia deHavilland portray the sisters, yearning for literary success and the love of the same man (Paul Henreid). Arthur Kennedy is a standout as their troubled brother Branwell, a would-be artist who drowns his talent in brandy. And a fine supporting cast, including Sydney Greenstreet, Dame Mae Whitty, Nancy Coleman and Montagu Love (in his final film), helps bring 19th-century England vividly alive.
