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 Werner finally did so...skeptically. "Who wants to see a dame go blind?" he asked.
Almost everyone: Dark Victory was Davis' 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.

Bette Davis' best performance - 4.75 out of 5 (7/28/2001)
Dark Victory was brought to my attention by my mother, and I am really glad I watched this DVD. Bette Davis' character is a rich-bitch woman who loves riding horses. Then she goes to a doctor and realizes she has a brain tumor. Dark Victory is a great story, and a tear-jerker at the ending. I don't wanna spoil anything so....I will just say this movie is great!
