Part 3 Geraldine Fitzgerald 🌟 Bette Davis ⭐️ DARK VICTORY #MovieReview #OldHollywood #classicmovies

Bette Davis gives an unforgettable performance as a woman on borrowed time, in her personal favorite of all her films, Edmund Goulding’s DARK VICTORY (’39). Costarring George Brent, Humphrey Bogart, Ronald Reagan and the refreshing Irish actress Geraldine Fitzgerald, in her screen debut, it’s a lush, romantic, melodrama that will keep you in tears and on the edge of your seat as you watch one of the legendary actresses do what seemingly nobody did better.

I read years ago that Yves Saint Laurent met a similar end. I'm not sure how I would react in that position.

Great review of a great film!

What stands out for me about this movie is the stunning absolute mastery in the cinematography, lighting, and wardrobe in every scene. I would have no interest in seeing it colorized.

The close-up of Fitzgerald is glowing with inner monologue, and Brent never looked handsomer.
Did Ernie HALLER do the cinematography?

Bette was stacked. She refused to wear a bra.
