Movie Info

Not even considered a good film back in 1935, Dangerous is held together by the mesmerizing performance of Bette Davis. The star is cast as alcoholic, self-destructive stage actress Joyce Heath, a character obviously based on Jeanne Eagels. Wealthy architect Don Bellows (Franchot Tone) becomes convinced that Joyce can be rehabilitated with the "right" stage vehicle, and begins pulling strings to bring her back to the footlights. She rises to the occasion, falling in love with Don in the process.

Unrated, 1 hr. 12 min.

Bette Davis won her first Oscar for playing an alcoholic actress bent on self-destruction (role possibly inspired by Jeanne Eagles) who learns the values of sacrifice and commitment after meeting a kind architect (played by Franchot Tone).
