It's honestly kind of insane to see some movies from the early 30s and then flash forward to the kind of acting that Henry Fonda and Bette Davis were exhibiting in this scene. The actors of Classic Hollywood were incredible pioneers that moved the art of acting so far forward in a blink of an eye.
This is where Bette became a box office star under Wylers hands. He subdued all her crazy mannerisms thankfully. She is lovely in this film..and that movie poster is incredible that would be a collectors item..wish they made posters like that again
I'm shocked to see that Bette Davis actually looked and sounded young at one time! I've only seen the movies where she was playing an old and wicked hag.

Well, all beautiful actresses was from MGM 🥴💁 They always play good girl characters 😒 They was scared of playing bad characters, it could affect their reputation 💁 But Bette was the exception! And she came from WB 💁
I am glad to have stumbled upon such an iconic figure. It's something new for me to be delving into this area of old films, and I look forward to future discoveries. My impression on Bette Davis so far makes me admire and look up to her greatly.
Wyler got the best out of Davis in this film. She really delves into this character and her playing is more honest than some of her later films that are more mannered.
Beautiful, Bette Davis. One of my favorite actresses of her era & beyond. Belated Happy Birthday 🎂to the wonderful & brilliant actress Bette Davis...... 🤍❣🤍
Is it me or am I the only one who thinks young Bette Davis and young Uma Thurman are almost carbon copies of one another..except Uma being the taller of the two naturally.
Its interesting to see how Bette Davis would have played Scarlett O'Hara if she had been cast in the role, as so many of Gone With The Wind's readers originally wanted her to be. Of course, with hindsight, Vivien Leigh was perfect but, here, Bette is very close to the character in the novel.
It's rumoured Warner Bros were trying to secure that role for her, but she had at that time walked out on her contract because she wasn't getting good roles.
C Rees I’ve seen all the documentaries and specials on GWTW. I’m obsessed with everything about the film. I’ve got the Special Anniversary (I forget which year it was) DVD box, with everything on the Bonus DVDs, including the screen tests of the actresses that were already stars. Bette was great (how could she NOT be?); but Vivien Leigh was the right choice for Scarlett. What I’ve always loved was JEZEBEL was made and released a year before GWTW. And Bette Davis got her Oscar.
I think Gone With The Wind is one of the most overrated films if all time. The acting was hammy and melodramatic, and the plot was overshadowed by the production. Scarlett's clothes handed in a better performance than her character. I know many will disagree with me. My fiancee out in on one night and I was screaming for the Yankees to burn Atlanta 10 minutes into the film. Bette Davis on the other hand was flawless in Jezebel
Hi Tan- Thank you for this piece of the movie. What a classic movie Jezebel is. Bette Davis was a great actress. However, she is my favorite actress of all time. I have every one of her movies, and I have a copy of the video of the night she appeared on Johnny Carson, decades ago, now that is a classic. She did not like appearing on talk shows, but agreed to be on the JC show. She was somewhat of a recluse.
Why do we still have to pay to see this film 80 years after it was made? Everyone who made the film is dead and obviously doesn't need the royalties any more.
@@cynthiapowers3469 why do you care. I can't post links, if I do it's spam. If I tell people to google it, I'm a liar. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't 🙄. Why don't you go eat your words and Search online for "Jezebel 1938 full film ok.ru" and the movie is....gasp online for FREE.
osimeon00, I thought Bette was better looking than Greta she looked too mannish! The other, the blonde Marlyn was no beauty! Bette was a beauty when young!!
Wow how beautiful a young bette davis looked ..i got to see that whole movie. Didn't she win an oscar for that. That was some mighty fine acting May she rest in peace.
My favourite Betty Davis role & performance, likewise Roman Holiday was my favourite Audrey Hepburn role & The Heiress my favourite of de Havilland's. Nobody made bittersweet romantic dramas as well as William Wyler.
FUN FACT: This movie was released in 1938 which is a year earlier than GWTW in 1939. Betty was asked to do an audition for the part of Scarlet a year after this film but it was Betty who declined because she felt that she had already played that antebellum role and didn't want to be type cast for GWTW. I feel that parts of this film were used as a reference for Scarletts character not the other way around.
Taylor Harris GWTW was already in production when this movie was released. It’s clearly a vehicle for Bette to show her chops if she had been given the role of Scarlett. She even wrote in her memoir about how furious she was that she was never seriously considered for the role. While Bette deserves recognition for her talent in Jezebel, it was definitely influence heavily by GWTW, not the other way around.

What's with all of the political conversation? I'll be a part of the small group that takes a different course, and say that I think Bette Davis was an amazing actress. Whether she really was abusive to her children or not, I can't deny that she had talent. And she was absolutely stunning.
No one ever wrote or said that Bette Davis was abusive to her children. You must thinking of Joan Crawford and the book written by her daughter Christina Crawford. Bette's daughter admitted that she was treated well by Bette during her childhood, and whatever problems she had with her mother Bette did not start until she was an adult.
I grew up in an area where girls or women couldn't wear red dresses ....then my father went to NY and brought apple red dresses for us girls 👍😱 🍎💃🍎💃 We scandalized the next yatch club dinner & dance 👍😂🥰😂🥰😂 of course I am old now, but. Thanks dad ❣️🛐❣️
0:19 apparently in one of the takes she smacked herself so hard with the brush that she bruised her face, and required a few days off for it to heal. 😂
@BitchErica1 "Over the top" is WHY Bette is so good ! Guaranteed to pull no punches, take no prisoners, play every scene to its utmost hilt . . . and then some !
This film was Bette's consolation prize for not being cast as Scarlett O'Hara, and this scene proves that she would have been perfect in Gone with the Wind. Henry Fonda would've made a much better Ashley Wilkes than the older, less pretty Howard.
No one in the world is a bigger Bette Davis fan than I am, but we'll have to agree to disagree on casting her as Scarlett. As for Henry Fonda... He may have been "more pretty" than Howard, but he couldn't do a Southern accent if Mammy sat on his face for a year. His performance here is painful to listen to.
Im sorry.... Bette Davis is not right for Miss Scarlet. No one but Vivien Leigh (across time and space).... she could had pulled Belle Watling... perhaps....
Only Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara. I simply can't see Clark Gable running after Bette for 12 years. However...I would have liked to have seen anyone but Howard as Ashley. He did the job well enough but wrong casting.
@evry190 Probably you are right. To think that, in the antebellum South, he might have gotten away with it, is one of the frightening things to contemplate about that society.
In the excitement of the moment Julie responds warmly toward Pres. The sight of the cane indicates that he intends to dominate her, and this snaps her back to reality. Then, she proceeds with the spiteful scheme involving the red dress. Justifiably so.
Funny, after reading all about this in William Wyler's bio, and all those takes...you'd think they'd have the right continuity with the cane...she sees it aiming at her at waist level when she opens the door, and then when it cuts back to inside looking out the door, the cane is back standing at his side. And that's a pretty sexual reference they got away with....
To the left of Julie's bed there's a portrait of a woman who appears to be from the Tudor period, maybe Anne Boleyn? If the identity of the woman in the portrait is known, I suspect she's there for a reason; some kind of symbolism or foreshadowing.
it's really interesting; she really wanted the role of scarlett o'hara, apparently, and this role was partly given to her to appease her for not getting it. this movie tried to steal GWTW's thunder. didn't really work, though. bette davis is awesome in this, but i don't believe she would have been good as scarlett. this role she has made her own though.

How fabulous was Bette Davis, just love her films. Her and Marilyn Monroe, just make the screen glow.
'Her' makes the screen glow?
@@peterpiper7441 The meaning is clear and it's a positive sentiment. I see only one of those traits in your reply, Peter Piper.
The make up artists way back when were amazing. Her eyebrows are perfection.
I'm shocked to see that Bette Davis actually looked and sounded young at one time! I've only seen the movies where she was playing an old and wicked hag.
I always liked Henry Fonda as an actor, but I almost never looked at him when watching this scene. Bette Davis was a marvel!
Of course you did not look at Henry Fonda during this scene...If Bette knew nothing else she knew how to steal a scene!!
That look Davis gives at the end of this scene is chilling....says everything the character is thinking....Brilliant.

She was very good looking in the early 30s-early 50s

She was what Tyra Banks would call "model pretty".
She was, she just wasn't the sex bomb fap fantasies the others were. Compared to people on the street she was very good looking
They said the same thing about Judy Garland I’ll never understand 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ they’re both very unique and pretty imo
I am glad to have stumbled upon such an iconic figure. It's something new for me to be delving into this area of old films, and I look forward to future discoveries. My impression on Bette Davis so far makes me admire and look up to her greatly.
Bette is hands down THE BEST ACTRESS ever been born period. She looks gorgeous here too.
I agree but Barbara Stanwyck would give her a run for her money.
Wyler got the best out of Davis in this film. She really delves into this character and her playing is more honest than some of her later films that are more mannered.
Wyler also wanted to marry her but she felt that if she did it would affect her career and the magic they made with movies.
Beautiful, Bette Davis. One of my favorite actresses of her era & beyond.

She's got Betty Davis eyes.

Bette not Betty
im here because the song
best actress in the history of Hollywood
I'm sorry but she was beautiful!!!! who said she wasn't also known for her beauty? of course her talent outshined everything else
Is it me or am I the only one who thinks young Bette Davis and young Uma Thurman are almost carbon copies of one another..except Uma being the taller of the two naturally.
+Dusky Moor DuskyMoor When Uma was younger, she was a carbon copy of the young Marlene Dietrich.

Add a dash of Amanda Seyfried
Uma Thurman, Susan Sarandon and Dakota Fanning.

She didnt even have a chance while I think she was better than all those girls who were testing for the role.
It's rumoured Warner Bros were trying to secure that role for her, but she had at that time walked out on her contract because she wasn't getting good roles.
Not her role. Vivien Leigh was perfect for it. Bette was better at other things.

So, that is where Anthony Hopkins got the voice of Dr. Hannibal Lecter - from Betty Davis.

That's hold Jane Fonda is. That her father was in this as a grown man almost 40

No. Later in the film she hits HIM because he dumps her. But the way she keeps looking at that stick does make you wonder.
