Dark Victory (Wisconsin / Warner Bros. Screenplays) Hardcover - 1981

by Casey Robinson, Bernard F. Dick


From the publisher

"Dark Victory," released in 1939, was a daring movie for its time. it depicted its heroine, Bette Davis, dying of a brain tumor. The film blended romance and realism so successfully that it is still a model for movies about death and dying today.
Bette Davis drew upon every mood she had ever expressed insouciance, impatience, anger, passion, acquiescence. She worked hard at the role, reveling in a story that, according to her account, she had actively campaigned for. She also benefited greatly by the professional talents of director Edmund Goulding and screenwriter Casey Robinson and a supporting cast that included Humphrey Bogart."

[minor bumping in vicinity of spine ends, otherwise a tight clean copy with minimal wear; jacket moderately edgeworn, small tear and a bit of paper loss at top of spine, soiling to rear panel]. (Wisconsin/Warner Bros. Screenplay series) Series (B&W photographs) Typically excellent entry in this screenplay series, with an erudite introduction by historian Bernard F. Dick, discussing the "factual, anecdotal and mythical" history of this classic film. In addition to the screenplay itself (annotated by the editor), the volume includes a healthy selection of frame blow-ups from the film. The only sour note is that this volume exhibits what I consider to be a major problem with this series, namely its failure to give the names of the actual SCREENWRITERS the prominence they deserve: the writers' names are on neither the books' covers nor their title pages, but… Read More
