“Iu0026#39;ve seen this movie three times (once in a theater) and it seems to get better with each viewing. There is no question that this is one of the best movies Bette Davis had made, with her skill evident in every scene sheu0026#39;s in. With an able supporting cast, especially by Geraldine Fitzgerald and George Brent, and a fine Max Steiner score, movies do not get much better. I loved the scene where she orders u0026quot;prognosis negativeu0026quot; in a restaurant just to let Brent and Fitzgerald know that she knows sheu0026#39;s been lied to about her condition. Itu0026#39;s just a wonderful movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was surprised that such a prestigious film would have a credit error. The end credits list Lottie Williams as playing Lucy, where in fact she plays Agatha. Lucy was played by Diane Bernard.”
