Inhalt: |
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 cIassic. But that success wouId never have happened if Davis hadnt pestered studio brass to buy Dark Victorys story rights. Jack Warner finalIy did so skepticaIly. Who wants to see a dame go bIind? he asked. AImost everyone: Dark Victory was Daviss biggest box-office hit yet and garnered Academy Award nominations for 1939s Best Picture, Actress and OriginaI Score (Max Steiner). lf it were an automobile, Newsweek wrote, Dark Victory would be a RoIIs-Royce. Its the perfect match of star and vehicle. |
