Judith frequently grasps onto objects, her clothes or a chair... Davis has so much energy and life force flowing through her that she has to direct it somewhere.

Bette Davis loses her sight, and we gain a classic.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 22, 2010

Guilty pleasure: One of Warner's best acted melodramas and Bette Davis's all-time favorite, in which she lives hard but dies in dignity as an heiress gone blind. Also Davis revenge as Tallulah Bankhead failed to bring the role to life in the 1934 play.

| Original Score: A- | Apr 30, 2007

Even by the standards of a typical Bette Davis melodrama Dark Victory is an embarrassment of riches.
