Now, Voyager Overview:
Now, Voyager (1942) was a Drama - Romance Film directed by Irving Rapper and produced by Hal B. Wallis.

SYNOPSIS
"Now, Voyager, sail forth to seek and find." Rains is a psychiatrist who quotes this line from Walt Whitman to inspire the repressed Davis. Soon, the shy, sheltered spinster is brought out of her shell and falls in love with a handsome, suave Henreid, though she knows he will never leave his wife. Through years of trials, their love endures and she becomes a surrogate mother to Henreid's daughter (Wilson). The quintessential Hollywood tear-jerker, with a lush Steiner score.
