British Region 2 PAL issue DVD of classic film 'Dark Victory' (1939, dir. Edmund Goulding), starring Bette Davis, George Brent, Humphrey Bogart, Getaldine Fitzgerald and Cora Witherspoon.


Dark Victory DVD (Newly Remastered and Restored) (1939)

Condition:

DISC: EX. Looks superbly clean on visual inspection. No obvious marks or scuffs – and no deep scratches. Stored and handled carefully. Played just pre-listing and plays through fine.
DVD BOX: EX. Some mild nicks through normal handling but no dents or splits. Plastic sleeve intact. Standard clear DVD case. Overall, very fine.

Bette Davis's bravura moving-but-never-morbid performance as Judith Traherne, a dying heiress determined to find happiness in her few remaining months , remains a three-hankie classic. But that success would never have happened if Davis hadn't pestered studio brass to buy Dark Victory's story rights. Jack Warner finally did so... skeptically. "Who wants to see a dame go blind?" he asked. Almost everyone: 'Dark Victory' was Davis's biggest box-office hit yet and garnered Academy Award nominations for 1939's Best Picture, Actress and Original Score (Max Steiner). "If it were an automobile," Newsweek wrote, "Dark Victory would be a Rolls Royce." It's the perfect match of star and vehicle.
