  Socialism Today - What the market really means
Dark Victory, first published in 1994, is mainly about the global impact of Reaganism and neo-liberalism in the 1980s, although this new edition includes an epilogue that outlines the reasons behind the implosion of the Asian Tigers' in 1997.
The authors of Dark Victory tend to put too much emphasis on globalisation as an ideology that happened to become a dominant force when a political elite "came to power on the back of an increasingly conservative middle-class social base, at the same time that the corporate establishment was deserting the liberal-Keynesian consensus".
This 'Dark Victory' is a hollow one, however, and the growing gap between the rich and the poor is bound to trigger a movement from the oppressed masses, as in other periods of history.

 Nonfiction Book Review: Dark Victory, by David Marr and Marian Wilkinson
They needed to stop the flow, to send a message to the world that Australia was not an easy target for illegal immigration, and to prove to the Australian public that the government was heeding their concerns.
Dark Victory is the tale of the measures taken in those weeks to keep the immigrants out and to win over the Australian public.
As well as being the story of the fate of these boat people, this is also an expose of the failures of multiple organisations - not only the Howard government, but also the Opposition, the military, the judiciary and the press - to provide leadership and humanity in these troubled events.

 Dark Victory @ Filmbug
Dark Victory is an embarrassment of riches, an unashamedly tearful melodrama that features an absolutely electrifying, compelling, tour de force, tear-jerking performance from Bette Davis as Judith Traherne.
Davis is in top form here, playing the doomed socialite with a neurotic, disturbed, and formidable intensity; she encapsulates the screen being as redoubtable as ever, with Judith insisting on her dignity even as a grave illness she seems to have beaten returns with an unbeatable vengeance.
Dark Victory, for all it's foreboding and depressing themes, is actually quite uplifting and is also deftly paced and smartly energetic.

You've spoken elsewhere that you intended Dark Blue World to be an examination, on one level, of heroism and the role of the hero.
So now Dark Blue World is about people who made this decision to go and fight for freedom and I wanted to ask not only why they did it but if these heroes would do it all again if they had it to do all over again.
Would there be some crazy guys who would risk, or give, their lives for their country knowing that they would be punished for it--and the answer is "yes." You don't do it for country or the feeling that you're a good citizen--but that they're doing it for their own conscience--you can't do otherwise.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Dark Victory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Perhaps the ultimate "Woman's Weepie," Dark Victory (1939) has the dubious distinction of being the best movie about a woman with an incurable disease that shows no effects on the victim until they're about to die.
Melodramatic as all get out, Dark Victory may prove hard for contemporary audiences to absorb, in part for the sheer camp value of its withering "only in the movies" fatal disease.
But if such can be accepted, the movie is a modestly involving picture with as much depth as a glossy big-budget title can offer on the prospects of imminent death — though the melodrama may be forced, it's never played poorly, and Bette Davis gives the performance her all.

Loeb also incorporates the idea of Batman (who is dark and moody) having a partner (who is on the other hand restless, talkative and dresses in a bright red and yellow outfit) in a mature manner.

Dark Victory is, along with Now Voyager, All About Eve and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane one of Bette Davis' signature movies.

 filmcritic.com Movie Review: Dark Victory
You know you’re in trouble when such a classically tooled and sculpted weepie as 1939’s Dark Victory – one that should require boxes of Kleenex and a couple hours of recuperation – doesn’t even begin to wring out a tear until near the final act.
Making a better impression, oddly enough, is Ronald Reagan, playing against type as a playboy buddy of Judith’s; nobody’s idea of a comic actor (somewhere there are 10-year-olds who’ve never tasted alcohol who can do a better imitation of a drunk), he at least tries to nobly wring a few laughs out of the material.
What’s left, then, as Dark Victory pushes dauntlessly on to the finish line, is Davis herself, raging against the blinding of her eyes.
