A retiring brain surgery sees her and plans to operate on her immediately. She survives the surgery, but she will eventually succomb to the disease.

This film is impressive. Bette Davis does a wonderful job! The story moves along well. Humphrey Bogart plays an unusual part for him. This film is based on a play. This film may be one of the first to deal with brain tumors. Powerful production.
