See at first this just seemed like the typical Camille/Dark Victory story of a dying woman but then it’s just so confusing and weird.
I cannot think of a single reason why the doctor would hide away the seriousness of her illness? especially if he’s interested in her - wouldn’t the truthfulness be better than lying and causing mistrust?

But then again Barbara Stanwyck plays a self destructive pianist - with a wardrobe by Edith Head (which has to be my favourite actress/designer duo) - and she’s the only redeemable part of this film.
