Trivia:
Though Bette Davis was very proud of the Oscar she won for this film, she didn't think she deserved it that year - in her opinion, Katharine Hepburn should have won for Alice Adams (1935). Davis always thought she won as compensation for not even being nominated for her star-making performance in Of Human Bondage (1934) the previous year. more
Quotes:
Joyce Heath:
And just where DID I arrive, if I'm not asking you to betray a confidence?
Mrs. Williams:
This is Mr. Bellows' place. He's an architect - one of them fellows that draws pictures.
Joyce Heath:
Thank You. And I suppose you're Mrs. Bellows, or are you just one of his sketches?
Mrs. Williams:
Nope. I'm his housekeeper, for when he comes down here weekends.
Joyce Heath:
How cozy.

Unlike some users ,I do not consider "Dangerous" one of Davis's best parts.Her career is so rich that you can name at least twenty movies that are far superior to this old hat melodrama:have you heard about " little foxes" "All about Eve" "Now voyager "whatever happened to Baby Jane" and the unfairly unknown "lo scopone scientifico" which might be the most extraordinary part she ever played.
"Dangerous" casts Davis as an alcoholic has been actress ;Tone wants her redemption ,so he sacrifices everything,money and fiancée to make the dream come true.The story is finally terribly sententious ,in "the magnificent obsession" mold ,but without Stahl's "enough is enough" side,which makes that director's works so priceless.
