Stars - Humphrey Bogart (#1), Bette Davis (#2); Cheers (#72); Passions (#32)
This is the story of a woman who is slowly losing her sight. Bette Davis does a remarkable job. So many of the actresses of this era succomb to campy overacting, but Davis balances it really well. Bogart's inconsistent Irish brogue is kind of funny, and Ronald Reagan's drunkenness is unconvincing. Other than that, though, it's a good movie. It probably would have been a big Oscar winner had it not been released in 1939.
