Susan Hayward was a Great Academy winning actress. Box office star of the first magnitude and a beautiful woman. This film is a remake of the Bette Davis classic Dark Victory. Harold Mirisch in his book complemented Ms. Hayward as being "A truly great star and woman" Bette Davis was none too happy that her classic "Dark Victory" was being remade. Robert Wise who directed Susan in her Oscar winning performance said in his opinion Susan was the finest actress he ever directed and was second only to Garbo! Speaking of Garbo, the Great Star considered Susan her fave actress and made an in person visit to Susan's home as Susan dying of a Brain tumor.
Ms. Hayward is splendid in this film and is given fine support by Michael Craig and Diane Baker, The fact that Susan plays a woman dying of a brain tumor is eerie.
This film has beautiful photography.
RIP Susan
