In <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em>, Peary provides more detailed information on how and why Davis came to take on this role, which &#8220;no major Hollywood actress would consider playing&#8221; &#8212; she apparently &#8220;wasn&#8217;t concerned about image because no one really knew who she was after twenty-one pictures&#8221;, and she &#8220;figured [this was] her one shot at stardom&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Peary writes that this role &#8220;made such an impression because it was conceived and played in such an original manner&#8221; by Davis, given that her Mildred &#8220;isn&#8217;t especially pretty&#8230; or alluring&#8221; and &#8220;isn&#8217;t smart or knowledgeable&#8221;. He points out that she &#8220;is not a vamp, she is just cheap, stupid, and shallow&#8221; &#8212; which is precisely why Howard&#8217;s relentless obsession with her is so fascinating. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Of-Human-Bondage-Obsession.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Of-Human-Bondage-Obsession-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-55661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Of-Human-Bondage-Obsession-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Of-Human-Bondage-Obsession-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Of-Human-Bondage-Obsession-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Of-Human-Bondage-Obsession-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Of-Human-Bondage-Obsession-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Of-Human-Bondage-Obsession-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Of-Human-Bondage-Obsession.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As Peary argues, Philip &#8220;hates himself for being a cripple&#8230;  [and] Mildred is his punishment&#8221;. Indeed, Davis&#8217;s Mildred is a unique variation on a <em>femme fatale<\/em>: she&#8217;s clearly Philip&#8217;s undoing, yet he&#8217;s almost entirely responsible for their continued dysfunctional &#8220;relationship&#8221;. She could genuinely care less about him, but &#8212; almost to her own surprise &#8212; he continues to make himself available to her time and again; and so, as an inveterate manipulator, she takes easy advantage. Theirs is a morbidly fascinating dynamic &#8212; not one I find pleasant to watch, but certainly one film fanatics should see at least once. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Peary ends his review by stating he&#8217;s &#8220;never seen a film in which so many letters are read&#8221; &#8212; really?
