Bette was beautiful until the day that she died. But she was stunning when she was young! I don't understand how everyone didn't recognize it. I understand that she wasn't Garbo, but beauty comes in a wide variety, if you have the good taste to recognize it.
I wouldn’t go that far.... although I am a huuuuuge fan of hers,” beautiful “... I am not sure about that.. but I think she was never as beautiful as in Jezebel. Never. Thanks to the make up and hair artists of the time who could work miracles and transform an average or dull looking person, into a stunning beauty. she may have been a “beautiful “ person inside....although, determined and strong headed would apply more. Anyway, a lot of fun and very honest about her work in interviews until the end of her life.
@@gulmerton2758 She was really pretty as a young woman and cute looking, she was beautiful. Maybe not the greatest beauty out there but looks were never her main thing anyhow. She did aged fast because of smoking and drinking but at least didn't try to look youthful all her life and that did help her with later roles.
Bette Davis did things other actresses didn't even attempt- can you see Hepburn, Bergman, ANYONE - being this raw, real- she was/is the greatest! She was never the same, always the real reason to watch any movie she was in...
Yes, I have also never understood what was so "bad" about this scene. Julie is the type of person who would though a tantrum if she didn't get her own way. With this scene, I think Julie is almost mad having just realized what she had done and instead of letting herself deteriorate she allows herself to "raise a ruckus".
Me too. I loved the scene where Bette is arranging flowers waiting for Pres and there is some lovely singing by coloured folk unseen. I think it is My Pretty Quadroon? I had to look it up. Max Steiner did great scores, especially for Bette, and yes, I think she was pretty and a great actress.
This was Bette's consolation prize for not playing Scarlett O'Hara. I think it proves that she would have been very good in Gone With The Wind but totally different to Vivien Leigh. She was not beautiful in the way that Vivien was but the first line of the novel is "Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful but men seldom realised it when caught by her charms..."
I always considered Vivien acting fake and subpair in that movie against rest of the cast. Its really a shame Bette didn't land that role. Her and Clark Gable punched the same weight while Vivien was just a nobody and a miscast.
It’s not that- she’s doing this to prove her seniority to her lost love’s new northern wife- they’re looking at her with disdain because she instigated a duel between his brother and current lover- who died.
@@Libruhh Exactly, she's trying to make her competition, who is from the north, feel left out and out of place, and she's using the slaves like they were her playthings. The nice young woman from the north is disgusted by Bette and by the sight of all the poor enslaved people.

I've been trying to find this out for months and still can't get an answer!! The song is very catchy and it's so frustrating when I want to sing it for my self and don't even know how it goes. Also this very song appeared in the film The great lie (1941) also starring bette davis and was also sung by people of colour in the wedding scene (sung in the background, so I also couldn't hear any lyrics that would make sence). I felt like they were singing: "That way will souit ya, that way my honey", but could not find anything.
Did some research and found out it’s called Susie Girl. I found it in Negro Folk Rhymes: Wise and Otherwise. It’s on page 76 of the google books version. Ring 'round, Miss Susie gal, Ring 'round, "My Dovie." Ring 'round, Miss Susie gal. Bless you! "My Lovie." Back 'way, Miss Susie gal. Back 'way, "My Money." Now come back, Miss Susie gal. Dat's right! "My Honey." Swing me, Miss Susie gal. Swing me, "My Starlin'." Jes swing me, my Susie gal. Yes "Love!" "My Darlin EDIT: Did a little more research and found the song was sang by The Hall Johnson Choir and it’s also called Ring-a-Round Miss Suzie.

I've heard this film sequence was repeatedly deleted from both television and film. Woke culture. Warner Brothers delivered a great film with Bette Davis winning another Academy Award. [Don't destroy statues. Remember the past. Hate slavery. Hate oppressive government. Always love your family members and friends!]
To enhance ambiance of scene, must be high on synthetic grass an says "Oh Lordy" a lots. White hoop dress and black chitlins is um a must.......also squeals "Honey Childe" a lot
@@CathyKitson It's also a racist depiction of the time period. Old Hollywood almost always had slaves act childish, stupid, and naively happy to serve their masters. Instead of trying to depict any of the emotion they would have actually felt.
The greatest actress that ever lived. Full of beauty, fire and spice.

She was beautiful and she could actually act. Not many actresses can play that wide range of characters she played.

Such a spirited scene until the very end and you see it's all done from a broken heart
I didn't even focused on the story, all I see is Bette Davis' brilliant performance in this scene...
Now that's what I call great screen acting.
Bette Davis did things other actresses didn't even attempt- can you see Hepburn, Bergman, ANYONE - being this raw, real- she was/is the greatest! She was never the same, always the real reason to watch any movie she was in...
Oh please she was the biggest ham there was, nothing real about her.
As a woman, I know every woman has had or will have a "raise a ruckus" moment in her life.
Bette Davis in this film looks so much like Drew Barrymore.
Amazing actress!
Raise a ROOOKUS! Raise a ROOOKUS! Hilarious.
Right? 😂
She may not have gotten GONE WITH THE WIND - but she was amazing in JEZEBEL!
I love old forgotten songs 🎶❣
YOU’LL ALWAYS ROCK!!!....MISS BETTY DAVIS!!!....😉👍👍☮️🦋🎀

With this scene, I think Julie is almost mad having just realized what she had done and instead of letting herself deteriorate she allows herself to "raise a ruckus".
What was so bad is that in that time period respectable white women did not fraternize with slaves in that manner.
Julie did it to herself, she was a spoiled brat who deliberately tried to take Pres away from his wife and no decent woman does that even to this day!
@@madeleinebaier5347 Even her Aunt Belle told her she could not fight marriage, but she persisted, and she got what she deserved.
But Julie isn’t a respectable Southern white woman. That’s the point of the whole movie!
@@mauricesavard2149 True. Consistent with the Hays Code she got her just desserts too. 🙂
Loved it, I think it's great that Bette sings with the coloured folk

She didn’t have Vivien’s childlike quality.

@@frozen1762you are insane. Vivien is magnificent in that film.
Bette would have a problem playing a much younger version of Scarlett.
God bless ya and raise a ruckus
The ladies are like, "Oh my God - she's being nice to the slaves, what;s wrong with her??"
it was the familiarity that was objectionable.
It’s not that- she’s doing this to prove her seniority to her lost love’s new northern wife- they’re looking at her with disdain because she instigated a duel between his brother and current lover- who died.

Beautiful voices...
One of the most scariest movies I have seen my entire life, well we know she got Baptised and that is a good thing.
Mahan James Leon Scary? How so?
Not scary in the conventional sense. But Imagine having to live with someone like her. She wrecked everything she touched.

Narcissist drags her (literal) slaves out to be a chorus for her. Such a brilliant film, with a great interpretation by Davis of a cluster B disorder.

Brava
I loved this movie, but never understood this scene.
Por favor como se puede ver Jezabel
she looks like drew barrymore.......
@lshplayer90 What is embarrassing about it?
Great actress when you love and hate her characters.
Does anyone know the song the slaves are singing just before this? Sound like "Come back miss Suzie gal;..." Almost like ragtime. Thanks.

@@edienandy Thank you so much!
@@edienandy Thank you so much! I've been researching on that too -- for years and finally found it now. Thank you.
It ain't ROO-kus. It's RUCK-us.
Just like it's spelled.
T4TEXASTOM JOHNNYCAT
The pronunciation is the way the country people, who weren't well educated, would have said it. Betty Davis is singing it the way the slaves would have.
That was the actual pronunciation in the South at this time.
See the explanation here:

Back In The Good Old Days
the actual fuck?
girl shut up
Bette Davis' little squint at Pres' new wife is classic. Yet this silly scene would have never happened.
Wonderful performance by Davis, but a horrible scene perpetuating the myth of the happy, singing slaves. Ick!
Many were. Treated well. True!
BLTKellys like Scarlet love for mammy like her 2nd mother

vomit
Chiedu Egbuniwe they just reproduced the age time. How could suppose show by another way?? Come on...
To enhance ambiance of scene, must be high on synthetic grass an says "Oh Lordy" a lots. White hoop dress and black chitlins is um a must.......also squeals "Honey Childe" a lot
Wrong way to say ruckus
bette don't sing and dont marry Henry he is zzz sorry did i miss film?🤣
This is racist af lol.
Of course, they are portraying enslaved people but are portrayed as ‘happy slaves’!
it was the 30's of course it's racist
Wow. This... is embarrassing.
Embarrassing??
@@jessiem276 it’s kinda racist
@@edienandy Kinda?? It's VERY racist! They were living in a society that had racism as its very bedrock.
@@edienandy Just a little. 🙂
@@CathyKitson It's also a racist depiction of the time period. Old Hollywood almost always had slaves act childish, stupid, and naively happy to serve their masters. Instead of trying to depict any of the emotion they would have actually felt.
Let's raise a ruckus tonight
It’s pronounced ruckus (ruck rhymes with tuck), not rookus.
