Bu film hakkında

Bette Davis’ bravura, moving-but-never-morbid performance as Judith Traherne, a dying heiress determined to find happiness in her few remaining months, remains a three-hankie classic. But that success would never have happened if Davis hadn’t pestered studio brass to buy Dark Victory’s story rights. Jack Warner finally did so…skeptically. “Who wants to see a dame go blind?” he asked. Almost everyone: Dark Victory was Davis’s biggest box-office hit yet and garnered Academy Award® nominations for 1939’s Best Picture, Actress and Original Score (Max Steiner). “If it were an automobile,” Newsweek wrote, Dark Victory “would be a Rolls-Royce.” It’s the perfect match of star and vehicle.

Una de las mejores actuaciones en la carrera de Bette Davis. Un drama que hoy día podemos ver simple pero muy difícil que sea superado, sobre todo en actuaciones. Guion profundo, lo complicado de la mente humana; la muerte, el orgullo, el amor... Me encanta esta película, de verdad.

Zoals altijd is Bette een wervelwind, eigenwijs, koppig. Maar in deze film voel je het verdriet, de boosheid van de patient vanwege haar situatie. Prachtig acteerwerk van Bette en de rest van de cast. Ben alleen nog steeds niet blij met hoe het eindigt.

Good movie
