If you loved Grand Hotel, try Dark Victory

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Edmund Goulding, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Grand Hotel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Dark Victory is

Here's a society drama that intends to tug heartstrings, and likely succeeds. A flighty young woman discovers she has a brain tumor, then falls for her doctor. It's a race against time, but also a melodrama, so expect well-appointed rooms.
