Dark Victory

“I've crammed every minute so full of waste. And now there's so little time. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid!”

Judith Traherne (Bette Davis) is a wealthy socialite whose days are all parties and drinking, with horses the only thing she really cares about. Her doctor, Frederick Steele (George Brent), tells her the headaches and blurred sight come from a brain tumor. Edmund Goulding follows the two of them as she agrees to surgery and finds she has fallen in love with the man holding the scalpel.
