Well, we have a melodrama this week–a bit of a downer, to be honest.  Our featured film, Dark Victory, is about a young woman in the prime of life who is dying.  Not a lot of laughs, this one.  But more than that, this is a profile in fear, and that’s why Jennifer finds this film interesting.  Our main character is—understandably—afraid.  She’s on a personal journey to find her courage–and she doesn’t have long.  As a person who’s been very anxious about all sorts of things her whole life, this one speaks to Jennifer directly.  If you’ve already “died a thousand deaths,” Dark Victory might be for you, too.  It’s dead ahead, on the Vintage Century Idle Hour.
