In order to compete with MGM Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures produced a series of "female films", and this film was the first important work among them. George Emerson Blair’s stage play of the same name was unsuccessful, but the film combines simple and authentic performance with smooth director processing. It does not fall into the “female film” stereotype that pretends to be sentimental and manipulates the audience. A big success. The exciting plot, superb performances and box office appeal of the stars have attracted a large number of audiences, especially female audiences. The performance of the heroine Betty Davis is highly praised. She puts the protagonist's kind, capricious, fragile and arrogant personality and complexity His mentality and fluctuating emotions are well grasped, making the characters "deadly toward death".

    Having played a fiery girl and then a blind girl, Betty actually does not need to beat anyone in her contemporaries, because she is already the benchmark for young actresses in the 1930s. There are too many good films in 1939, such as Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, but Qing He Boming is no weaker than any other film. Other films rely on the big scenes and rely on new technology. There are not many days gone by, and it is filled with sorrow.

    Bette Davis was top billing in that era, but it was overplayed in this movie.

Dark Victory quotes

  • Judith: But I haven't time to be ill.

  • Dr. Frederick Steele: I'm not quitting... I have a little laboratory on my farm up there in Vermont. The Medical Research Bureau is backing me. Fisher in Philadelphia is going to do the pathology, incidentally, the best man in the country... Brain cells. Why do healthy normal cells go berserk and grow wild?... Nobody knows. But we call them cysts and gliomas and tumors and cancers. And we operate and hope to cure with a knife and half the time we don't even know the cause. Our patients have faith in us because we're doctors... Someday, somebody will discover a serum that will be to these growths what insulin is to diabetes and anti-toxins to diphtheria, and maybe earn his title of Doctor of Medicine.
