What happens

Shining Victory is a 1941 American drama film directed by Irving Rapper and starring James Stephenson, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Donald Crisp and Barbara O'Neil. The film was produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was the first film directed by Rapper. It is based on the 1940 play Jupiter Laughs by A. J. Cronin. Bette Davis makes a brief cameo appearance as a nurse. The working title of the film was Winged Victory, but it was changed after it was discovered that Moss Hart was writing a play with this title. Hart's Winged Victory was filmed in 1944 by Twentieth Century Fox. Lead actor Stephenson died a month after the film premiered. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
