DARK VICTORY [BLU-RAY] [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1939
• Genre: Drama, Romance
• Plot: Bette Davis' bravura, moving-but-never-morbid performance as Judith Traherne, a dying heiress determined to find happiness in her few remaining months, is a three-hankie classic. But that success would never have happened if Davis hadn't pestered studio brass to by 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' 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.
