" Dark Victory," released in 1939, was a daring movie for its
time. it depicted its heroine, Bette Davis, dying of a brain tumor.
The film blended romance and realism so successfully that it is
still a model for movies about death and dying today.
Bette Davis drew upon every mood she had ever
expressed--insouciance, impatience, anger, passion, acquiescence.
She worked hard at the role, reveling in a story that, according to
her account, she had actively campaigned for. She also benefited
greatly by the professional talents of director Edmund Goulding and
screenwriter Casey Robinson and a supporting cast that included
Humphrey Bogart.
