Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Light that Failed (1939) is a melodrama directed by William A. Wellman, starring Ronald Colman, Walter Huston, Muriel Angelus, and Ida Lupino.Adapted from the Rudyard Kipling novel of the same name, the story is about an English artist, Dick Hedler, a war correspondent in Sudan. After the war, he knocks about in foreign lands practicing his craft when Torpenhow (Huston), the friend who Hedler saved during the war, invites him back to England because his paintings have become a sensation. Back in London, Hedler meets with Maisie (Angelus), an old childhood sweetheart, who is a struggling artist and painfully rejects Hedler’s offer of marriage. Saddened but still determined to continue his success, Hedler turns conceited and begins neglecting his artistic vision.Tragedy strikes when he’s diagnosed with decaying optical nerves: blindness is the permanent result. Determined to make his masterpiece, he finds Bessie (Lupino), a floozy Cockney girl, and paints her portrait.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Not to be confused with the M*A*S*H episode of the same name. | |

Bolivian Army Ending: The cavalry is outnumbered by the enemy, but Hedler joins them to fight until the death. It’s exactly the way he wanted to die. | |

The Alcoholic: Once he's diagnosed with his oncoming blindness, Hedler finds out that his eyes focus better when he drinks so he gets very drunk when he's painting Bessie's portrait. | |

Death Equals Redemption: Hedler signs back up as a correspondent for another war (while blind) and somehow gets into the cavalry. He knowingly goes into a suicidal mission, dying in the process. But he died doing what he loved and without any of his conceited pretensions about him. | |
