Bette Davis Classics (Dark Victory / Jezebel) (2 Disc Set)

Dark Victory:
Davis plays a swinging socialite, living the fast life of booze, smokes, and--with the help of Humphrey Bogart as her Irish stableman--raising thoroughbred horses. When a brain tumor starts giving her headaches and eroding her vision, she falls in love with her surgeon (George Brent), who grows more determined than ever to cure her. Davis gives one of her most vibrant performances, and her costars also include Ronald Reagan and Geraldine Fitzgerald. The film received Oscar nominations for best picture, best actress, and for Max Steiner's score.

Pres is dismayed and, at the ball, New Orleans’s high society is outraged. Julie and Pres argue, and he leaves. A year passes. New Orleans is stricken by yellow fever. Julie hears Pres has returned. Delighted, she throws a party. But, when Pres arrives, Amy (Margaret Lindsay) is with him, and they are married...
