English Summary:
Dark Victory is a 1939 American drama film directed by Edmund Goulding, starring Bette Davis and featuring George Brent, Humphrey Bogart, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Ronald Reagan, Henry Travers and Cora Witherspoon. The screenplay by Casey Robinson was based on the 1934 play of the same title by George Brewer and Bertram Bloch, starring Tallulah Bankhead.
Judith “Judy” Traherne is a young, carefree, hedonistic Long Island socialite and heiress with a passion for horses, fast cars, and too much smoking and drinking. She initially ignores severe headaches and brief episodes of dizziness and double vision, but when she uncharacteristically takes a spill while riding, and then tumbles down a flight of stairs, her secretary and best friend Ann King insists she see the family doctor, who refers her to a specialist.
Dr. Frederick Steele is in the midst of closing his New York City office in preparation of a move to Brattleboro, Vermont, where he plans to devote his time to brain cell research and scientific study on their growth. He reluctantly agrees to see Judy, who is cold and openly antagonistic toward him. She shows signs of short-term memory loss, but dismisses her symptoms. Steele convinces her the ailments she is experiencing are serious and potentially life-threatening, and puts his career plans on hold to tend to her.
Hungarian Summary:
Az életet habzsolva élvező fiatal milliomos lánynál, Judith Traherne-nél agytumort állapítanak meg. Megoperálják, s a sebésszel, Frederick Steele egymásba szeretnek. Amikor már úgy tűnik, hogy hamarosan fel tudna épülni, rájön, hogy már csak néhány hónapja van hátra. Ekkor Judith léha szórakozásokba veti magát. Fiatal szeretőjének, Michael O'Learynek azonban sikerül meggyőznie arról, hogy életét meg kell változtatnia. Judith férjhez megy az orvoshoz, aki az agybetegségek kutatásának szenteli magát.
