I've crammed every minute so full of waste. And now there's so little time. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid!

Short description

Socialite Judith Traherne lives a lavish but emotionally empty life. Riding horses is one of her few joys, and her stable master is secretly in love with her. Told she has a brain tumor by her doctor, Frederick Steele, Judith becomes distraught. After she decides to have surgery to remove the tumor, Judith realizes she is in love with Dr. Steele, but more troubling medical news may sabotage her new relationship, and her second chance at life.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Bette Davis (1908-1989), who later played the leading role in this film, long implored Warner Bros. to acquire the rights to film it in order to star in it, but they refused, claiming that no one would want to watch a film where a person loses their sight. Davis, however, got her way, and the film proved so commercially successful that it became one of Warner Bros.' most successful projects in the year of its release.
