Review of Dark Victory (1939)

I loved Bette Davis in 'All About Eve', but I did not like her here in this movie. She needed to be likeable as Judith, but wasn't…

Review of Dark Victory (1939)

By Aj V (1,538) on 19 Sep 2010

This is a good movie, with good actors, and a good story. It's a dramatic and exciting thriller. I saw it a while ago, but I remember it was good…

Review of Dark Victory (1939)

By Carlos R (1,175) on 17 Sep 2010

Bette Davis is pretty good but the plot isn't very original watching it in these days, however there were some good scenes but nothing special…

By Adrian B (1,364) on 18 Jul 2010

This is a hard film to watch because you actually feel very, very sorry for Bette Davis' character in this case…

Review of Dark Victory (1939)

By Jennifer H (754) on 23 Apr 2010

Very sad but sweet. I liked Davis in this role better than all the others I've seen her in…

Review of Dark Victory (1939)

By Robert P (779) on 07 Apr 2010

Intriguing, off-beat melodrama…

Review of Dark Victory (1939)

By Randy T (648) on 28 Mar 2010

Review of Dark Victory (1939)

By Bryanna H (66) on 15 Jan 2010

This is some sap worthy of Lifetime, except of course, that it stars Bette Davis, so she raises it above smultz, and tears…
