    Another great Bette Davis film

    06 December 2008
    A spoiled young rich girl (Davis) finds out she's dying of a brain tumor (I think--it was sort of vague). Despite it all she falls in love with her doctor (George Brent), who loves her also. But she's going to die soon--what to do? What could have been a maudlin, depressing howler is actually quite moving. Bette Davis gives a superb performance--when she realizes she's dying, she doesn't turn into a weak, whiny victim...she becomes strong and self-reliant. Also Geraldine Fitzgerald turns in a great performance as her best friend--her and Davis worked well together. Great script, beautiful Max Steiner score and well-directed. Only two complaints--George Brent gives out a lousy performance as the doctor and Humphrey Bogart is uproariously miscast as an Irish horse trainer. That aside, top-notch all the way. A must-see for Davis alone.
