Just saw that this will be on at 8:00pm tonight on a TCM. I think, one of her best. Take care!

Re: Dark Victory-Bette Davis

I got home a little more than an hour ago.  The Great Lie was just about to start at 5:00PM (CDT), so I kicked off shoes, grabbed a snack and started watching.  Both Bette Davis and her equal co-star (in this film) Mary Astor bring the house down with their performances!

@twinsister ~ It was a very good (sad) ending.  Casablanca had a great ending as well.  Many of the films from the 30's and 40's have abrupt endings, which is disappointing.

Mary Astor won an Oscar for her role in The Big Lie. Well deserved!
