Radio review – Lux – “Dark Victory” (1938) ***1/2

Barbara Stanwyck is very good taking over Bette Davis and Melvyn Douglas is fine in a difficult, thankless part of the doctor. The role played by Geraldine Fitzgerald in the film, which writer Casey Robinson always thought was crucial to the film's success (that and making sure the third act didn't repeat the second), isn't here, which is strange.
