Atypical Role

This is a melodrama, that in this age of high technology and common medical knowledge is hard to swallow. Judith, the heroine, is diagnosed with a brain tumor that will eventually kill her with almost no warning in a preposterous fashion. The drama and trite characters should have ruined this movie. The only redeeming value is to watch Bette Davis play such a guileless character, unlike anything I've seen her in before. Sweet, Bette actually plays a sweet person, and shows her range. Also of interest in Humphrey Bogart in a small but fun role. Ronald Reagan is also in it for a short time, but is rather annoying.
