CLASSIC MOVIE REVIEW: Steve celebrates Thanksgiving with JEZEBEL! Bette Davis sets fire to the screen and goes on to Oscar glory for the second time in William Wyler’s classic tale of the old South; “Jezebel” (1938). Directed with consummate skill by William Wyler, it was the first of the three films they made together. With able support from Henry Fonda, George Brent and Fay Bainter in an Oscar winning role as Bette’s sympathetic aunt, it’s as close to Scarlett O’Hara as Davis would get and she gives it all she’s got.

#ClassicMovieReviews
Who in the hell is this Steve Hayes ??? My God he's a character. He deserves his own show on Netflex,, or something BIG. His personality is too awesome for such a small screen as such CZcams !
He had a big memorable part in the movie...”Trick” it’s a great movie! He plays a gay drama teacher friend of the film’s star.
Thanks f so much for the lovely compliments and for watching! Don't forget to push the "Like" button. It really helps!.
He IS big! It’s the PICTURES that got small!
J. Louis V. He should be a national treasure
Steve's Bette Davis impersonation is nothing less than stellar!
😆 Yes!
Love it!
😂🤣😅😁!
The only thing disappointing about this channel is the lack of viewers for the one of the best personalities ever! Alternatively, i feel like i belong to a special club with just a few others who are epicureans of old movies and great story tellers! You are simply FABULOUS!
You are THE BEST! Thanks for watching! To everyone readuing this, don't forget to push the "Like" button. It really helps!.
@ RICHARD DAMROW
Do what I do.... share with friends and post on SM. You’re doing both your friends and Steve a favor.
I agree!
Oh my dear God…when she knelt down in that white dress,she was a vision of pure loveliness.I’ve always loved this woman.She always gave a top notch performance…even when they handed her “crappy rolls”.Rest in peace,sweet Bette,you are sorely missed.
Her movies with Wyler are three of her very best; "The Letter", The Little Foxes" and " Jezebel". Breathtaking work. Thanks for watching! Steve
That's nothing to that look Henry Fonda's character gave her after she slapped him. I felt that cold stare from Decades away
I don't know about you but I forgave her AT ONCE, red dress, slap and everything.
Steve, your movie reviews are priceless; your sense of humor, acting skills, delivery and production techniques deliver!
I agree!
Steve Hayes is the best. He needs 3 shows! I always roar at his Bette impression
Three shows!!! Wow! You really know how to work an Old Queen! Not complaining! On the contrary, I'm Delighted! Steve
Steve you are simply wonderful.
Thank you Steve and Johnny. Have really enjoyed your videos on these beautiful classic movies. Steve, hope you are still out there using your talents to entertain. You are a gem in your own right. Shine on you crazy diamond. ❤
You are too kind and thank you very much! I am. I just started doing my one- person show as Alfred Hitchcock called " STEVE HAYES; With A "HITCH". It's gone over very well and I'm hoping to tour with it. Ya gotta' keep re-inventing yourself. So nice of you to inquire and I hope you have lovely holidays! Best Wishes; Steve
Steve … it never gets old watching these fabulous reviews …. You are so consummate in your delivery and knowledge of classic films…. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again your Bette Davis impersonations are absolutely sublime!. …. As are all your impersonations….Thank you for the many hours of fun and laughter watching and rewatching these reviews … both old and new!. ❤️
Thank you for watching and for the lovely complmenets. I hope you have terrific holidays! Best Wishes; Steve
I always said I wouldn't watch GWTW because Bette wasn't in it. Then later realized she made 4 big movies in 1939. Dark Victory, The Old Maid, Elizabeth and Essix and Jaurez. I'd rather she hade those 4 hits than one GWTW. Keep up the great work.
Congrats on the 5 year anniversary, Steve and Johnny! Such wonderful reviews and video clips. "Jezebel" was a pip of a movie.
Just wondered if you'd ever consider reviewing the David Lean version of "Great Expectations" (1946?) or the iconic French New wave Film by Francois Truffaut -- "The 400 Blows" (1959)?
I will definitely do "Great Expectations!" ! Thansk for reminding me!
I think you're a better Bette Davis than the original! ❤
It's a sign...I'm watching Jezebel on a local movie channel, and flipping through CZcams, and this pops up in my notifications...let's see more reviews Johnny..I'm missing you...
Not to worry! More in the works!!! Thanks for watching! Stay SAFE all The Best; Steve
I screamed"Makeup! Read me that script one more time!"
LOL!
“Yes, ma’am. Yes, ma’am. Yes, ma’am” at the beginning. I worked on the subtitles with a lovely Italian friend who became smitten with Bette after she translated the movie. She said she had never heard of her!
Well, she did, I'm sure she never forgot her.
Just gets better and better. Congratulations on 5 years, guys - and may there be many more.
My only wish: that you did more :-) And that you had your own real TV show.
Oh, and come to Australia for Mardi Gras!
OMG! I'd love to come to Austrailia...but that plane ride....Hope you are well and safe!
Miriam Hopkins played Jezebel on Broadway, and would have probably performed the movie version just as well (if not better) than Bette Davis. Miriam Hopkins was also a very good friend of William Wyler as was Bette Davis. The Hopkins version was later filmed for the LUX Video Television version, which may or may not exist today. I would love to see the Hopkins LUX Video Television version if the film still exists.
Sometimes they pop up on unexpectedly on CZcams. I recently saw the live TV version of "Dodsworth" with Ruth Chatterton. Wonderful! Thanks for watching! Steve
As ever a brilliant s¨nation of such a superb film. Even though I have seen if many imps, after watching Steve, I went right back and watched again. Steve is an International Treasure for whom we in England Give our thanks!
Well, Julie Marsden is not an evil character. In fact, she is more affable and much less spoiled than Scarlett O'Hara, proving to be generous, brave and able to self sacrifice from the beginning of "Jezebel". However, she's impetuous and cannot anticipate the consequences of her decissions. Bette Davis gave an amazing performance here, well directed by a wise William Wyler.
It's such a mlti layered interpretation. VIVA Bette and Willie!
Brilliant film the scene where she kneels before Press before she finds out he is married great scene. I like The Old Maid as well.
Bette never looked more beautiful than at the end with her face in profile against the flames.
A classic Wyler final shot. Almost every one of his films, especially the three with Bette Davis, end with an unforgettable moment. Think of " The Little Foxes" and Bette slowly sinking behind the curtain, or "The Letter" with a shot of Bette lying dead in the garden as the camera slowly pans across the courtyard to the linen, billowing in the night breeze to the sounds of Steiner's ominous theme and Monty Clift pounding the door and screaming; "Catharine! Catharine!" as that incredible score rises at the finale of "The Heiress"! No one like Willie Wyler!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ You batted 1000 on all the above classic endings. I watched The Heiress once with a very WISE older person who had been around. Of course Morris was after her money, was a spoiled lowlife but Katherine would at least have had her own life coddling, spoiling and putting up with her beautiful man-child. If you watch the movie carefully you can see that Morris is beginning to 'get used' to having money, being adored and though he may cheat on Katherine - her undemanding adoration would be a heady tonic for such a self centered ass. You got to let people live there own lives! That is Henry James's lesson.
Steve you forgot to mention Orr-Kelly! He designed the two dresses that Bette wears that are central to the plot -- one red the other white. He should have been given co-star billing!
Thank you, Steve! What a pleasure to have you tell us about a great movie. Here's some trivia I read once about "Jezebel": because of the way certain colors, "hot" and "cold" colors, show up in black-and-white and the impression of color they give the viewer, Bette Davis's red dress was actually blue because in black-and-white blue gives a better impression or illusion of red than red!
That's so interesting!
I thought the dress was brown. Anyway, you're correct. The red did not read right on film. Makes you appreciate the black and white films even more.
Omg as a recent lover of classics this was heaven to me! I immediately subscribe and I’ll be watching your reviews ❤️ great 👍 channel
Oh Martin; your comment just made my day! Thank you so much and welcome aboard! Have a great day and stay safe! All My Best; Steve
Jezabel was a great film and Wyler did wonders with Bette.
Is it true they had an affair?
@Alida Baxter Yes. It broke after they finished The Letter...he was able to reign her in, and hold her mannerisms at bay. The Letter was one of her best performances.
Hello, again, Steve!
Thought that you'd like to know, I convinced my husband to watch some of your videos and now he's addicted to them too!! He even watches them without me! The other night, I went to bed early and he stayed downstairs to watch TV. I get into bed and I can hear the TV from downstairs and I thought I heard Johnny's voice (btw, Johnny is so cute!!!) and then I heard "Oooooooo, Johnny!!" So, of course, I couldn't get to sleep, had to get up and watch some of your videos with my hubby. Love it!!!
A request - I can't believe you haven't done My Fair Lady! I mean, really??? Please do My Fair Lady! And also The Music Man! Thanks, Steve! :)
LOL! Well, they're both on my list! Thanks to you both for watching and supporting TOQ at the Movies! You made my day! Have a healthy, SAFE ,summer of love TOQ & classic movies! Best; Steve
Thanks for all the years of fun videos Guys. Happy Thanksgiving.

I wish he lived in Atlanta - what fun to be around this clever guy!
LOL! Yes, but you'd be in Atlanta and I'd be in Manhattan, which is where I live!
In The Old South “jezebel” was considered such a vile word that a friend of mine’s grandmother had her mouth washed out with soap by her mother when she said she wanted to see this movie! I loved hearing that story growing up. Still do…😂
Me too! That is one of the best movie anecdotes I've ever heard! It made me giggle! Thanks so much for perking up my Sunday. You always do. OXOX Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ That makes me smile! 😃
@@BillyAlabama Good! Keep smilin', winter's comin' and keep watching TOQ! Steve
I. Ant tell you how happy I am that I found this channel ... I love it!
I been watching all these clips from The Women that have been posted. So I had to watch your review of The Women again. And again. And again. Your backstory tales of the stars and the making of these classic movies are as wonderful as your reviews. Thank you.
My pleasure. Thanks you for watching! Steve
Love these classic movies, they never get old!!!!
And I love that you watch TOQ! Thanks! Steve
I loved this movie but I especially loved Catherine O'Hara, hitting 'deliciously awful' with exquisite precison, quoting it to her low-buget acting students in the hilarious 'For Your Consideration'.
I feel like your channel belongs to your guest! Naturally Press' wife would always be welcome! 😃!
Thanks, That was so fun to watch. Happy Thanksgiving to you and also Johnny too!
Great job as always. My only regret is that it took me so long to find this channel.
Thank you, Steve. As always, your videos are a treat.
Is Johnny a fugitive of the law, or something? He changes his looks more than Loretta Young did on "The Loretta Young Show."
He's a natural chameleon! Also a terrific actor! Lve him!
☺️😄😅😃🤣😂😆!
"A red dress at the Limpus ball..ya outa ya senses!!"
I can't for the life of me understand why people so often say that "Jezebel" is just like "Gone With The Wind". Apart from the fact that both films are set in the South, and both focus on willful Southern belles, the plots of the two films are completely different. (Julie's wearing of the red dress is her own act of defiance; Rhett has to teach Scarlett -- one step at a time -- how to become a social maverick who challenges convention.) Also, Julie's self-sacrificial act at the end in going to the lazaretto with Prett is something I find it VERY hard to imagine Scarlett doing for anyone.
Both are selfish and narcissistic, but Julie has a warmth and a more loving heart where as Scarlett, on the other hand, is a supreme manipulator who only wants what she can't have and when she gets it, doesn't want it anymore. Both are fascinating. Thanks for watching! Steve
FABOO as ever! Oh, Steve. You are a certified gem!😘
OMG!! Thanks for watching! Don't forget to push the "Like" button. It really helps!.

Thanks for the review and Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanx for a great review as always!

I love this guy!!
So informative and entertaining!
Thank you so much! Steve
Amazon better send you a hefty check. Your reviews are so engaging and I order the films. Wonderful.
Hooray!
Your looking healthy Steve. This reminds me of an old movie, The Wicked Lady, that I saw recently. Thanks for the review and for your enthusiasm.
Happy Holidays!
I want to do "The Wicked Lady! I LOVE the Margaret Lockwood /Gainsborough movies!
Happy Thanksgiving to you both.
Here's to the next five years - I look forward to every video!
I wish Steve would do impressions for about an hour ..... so delightful! ☺️

@ Steve Hayes
Oh! I always do..... and I share with my friends!
Love your Bette impersonation.
When she takes Henry Fonda off in the wagon to either help him or possibly hurt her, you know she loves him forever. It always makes me chuckle when she sings "Raise a roo-kus"....perhaps she didn't know how to pronounce the word "ruckus". :D
That finale scene of her in thewagon is so incredible. Typical Wyler. Thanks for watchin! Best Wishes; Steve
Steve, YOU'RE WORKING IT! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! THIS CHANNEL! 😁!
LOVE JEZ! ONE OF W. B. BEST AS WELL AS BETTE! REMEMBER IT'S 1852! NOT THE DARK AGES! 😎!
Considering the climate outside today (Hurricaine) and the political climate throughout the nation, (Trump) tI'd say that's questionable.
Steve congratulations! You are one of the best things of CZcams. By the way are you and charming Johnny partners?
Nope. Only in crime...and this channel! But we're best buddies!
Her character she play deserves everything she got.
I fear you're right.
Love love Bette Davis
I heard once that she made this movie with her own money to campaign for Gone With The Wind. She would have been not suited. And she's my favorite old actress.
Jezebel was a reward that Warners gave her following up on their promise for better roles, if she would come back to the studio after having liost her law suit in England. GWTW was already in production by that time, raners wanted to cut it off at the pass and take away some of the hoplas surrounding it. To no avail. Bette wanted to work with Wyler and he ended up being, aside from Mankiweicz, the best director she ever worked with, responsioble for making her an above the title box office star. " "The Letter" & The Little Foxes:" , which she did with Wyler afterwards are masterpieces.
That scene when he comes back is heartbreaking....
That's Wyler and Davis. She never had a better champion until "All About Eve".
When she begs him to forgive her . Finds out he’s married .
I get the feeling Bette Davis got the message that Gone with the Wind would be a phenomenon while making Jezebel, and tried to get the jump on Gone with the Wind in various ways (southern belle, teasing her lovers and returning to the one she rejected, anticipating the red dress scene, etc.) but to no great success. Gone with the Wind is a film for the ages; Jezebel is merely one film among many in history.
Well, there you are.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ And of course not to forget that Jezebel was filmed in ordinary (for the time) black and white. Gone with the Wind was a color spectacular. The red dress FINALLY made sense when you could see it in color!
Miriam Hopkins would have been better in the part of Jezebel as she was probably the most versatile Actress in Hollywood.
Thanks for watching and Best Wishes; Steve
How am I just now finding y'all!? Where have you been all my life...lol
LOL! waitin' for you! Welcome aboard! Please subscribe, keep watching the classics and above all, watch TOQ at the Movies! All My Best and please stay happy and SAFE! Best Wishes; Steve
Such a cutie she was!
If only it had been made in glorious Technicolor!
You got an idea from the color lobby cards.
Jane Fonda was born while they were shooting this film. Davis would joke later about how she'd tease Jane by telling her that her birth held up production for 3 days because her leading man had just become a father and took time off to go be with his wife and new daughter. Which sounds very uncharacteristic of Fonda, at least according to Jane. In her 2020 HBO doc "A Life in 5 Acts" (now free on CZcams and one of the most fascinating docs about a movie star, ever!) she opens up about her father who sounded like a real mo fo. Her mother committed suicide because of his womanizing and verbal abuse. He remarried soon after her death to a 20 yo girl He would call Jane "fat" and would actually put her down to his friends behind her back! He obviously hated women but loved women physically. I think his mother was the reason behind it. However Jane never mentions her except for when she talks about her father and grandmother sitting her down to tell her that her mother "died of a heart attack". A month later she had a new 20 yo step mother and was on her way to boarding school where she developed her eating disorders that she'd battle with until she began the Adobics 30 years later. And the work out tape was just a way to fund her then husband Tom Hayden political causes. Except that the video was such a runaway success and he'd written all of these intellectual books about Nixon etc, planned the 1958 protests at the Chicago Republican National Convention that turned into all out war in the streets etc, didn't sell nearly half as many books as she sold videos and gave her a hard time about it. He basically said "The exercise videos? Are you serious? " So she left him and would go on to marry Ted Turner who turned out to be a big baby that drove her nuts.
Thanks for watching.
I’ve always thought that Errol Flynn would have made a great Ashley Wilkes.
You know, I'll be he would have. And he would have brought a dashing sexulaity that eluded Leslie Howard, who didn't want to do it. Warners offered Errol and Bette as Scarlett and Rhet, but Bette nixed the idea, claiming that Errol couldn't act. Bette was ignorant and blind when it came to Errol. He was fanatstic. Steve
Dear Steve, I adore your impersonations of Bette Davis - just think, if you'd been born a few generations earlier you could have been her stand in! "Jezebel" is, and remains, a really good film, and isn't it interesting that all the years later when she made "All About Eve", the first time we see her is in her dressing room, removing her make up and describing how she's just given an interview to a Southern woman who has told her "we were never starved of love in the South". Nice little joke we don't notice. William Wyler was a brilliant director, who brought out the very best in Bette and (from all I've read) probably had an affair with her - who cares, it's the result that counts. I've read several books about Bette and in one she described how he'd make her walk into a room or run down stairs over and over and over until she was nearly exhausted because she did everything at a hundred miles an hour and he wanted her to behave more normally. (The remark always reminds me of Zsa Zsa Gabor, of all people, talking about how John Huston made her repeat her entrance, coming down the stairs in the opening scenes of "Moulin Rouge" - the best part of the movie - over and over again until she got it right.) What I like so much about "Jezebel" is that her character loves Henry Fonda so much that in the end she is prepared to risk her life to try and save him. Her fear is so clear on her face, she's going into Hell and she knows if he lives he'll go back to his wife, but still she does it. That's not how Scarlett O'Hara operates. Thank you for a lovely review and for reminding me of such a good film. Best wishes Alida
Dear Alida; I think I already answered you about this, but my internet has been doing crazy things lately and it came up again. So, if this is old news , I apologize. I have it fixed now...fingers crossed. I believe that Jezebel, The Letter and The Little Foxes all of which she did while having her temestuous relationship with Wyler, are her best films, " All About Eve an exception, of course. But the best of Bette is with Wyler, because he " sat on her". He used to tell her, " I'm going to tie your hands down if you don't stop twitching." However, she gave him such a hard time during the shooting of "Foxes" that he vowed he's never work with her again and he never did. She was forever shooting herslf in the foot throughout her career, despite her constnat claims on interview shoqws later in t liofe of her professionalism. Hope you are enjoying the early summer. Give my regards to London! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Dear Steve, I'm so grateful to hear back from you. I thought I'd driven you mad writing long responses to your marvellous reviews. The summer here is mixed, to put it mildly, but at least my West facing flat has lovely views from the balcony, over Soho and all the way to Park Lane, so I see a lot of greenery on rooftops and my own balcony flowers seem to have survived the winter. Best wishes, Alida
Still drumming my fingers, waiting patiently for you to review the most awesome gay camp classic "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
Oh goodie! Date night with Steve!
Happy to ablige, it's the closest I've gotten to one in years! LOL!
😁 Love his BD impressions! Watching,again. 🌈 Happy 50th Pride! 🎉 6/1969-6/2019
Well now, I’ve been to your house for dinner and you’ve been to my house for dinner....
And now I NEH ver have to see you again !
Greatest line ever!
Greatest line ... Ev - vuh!!!
She was actually such a beautiful woman, but rarely did hair and makeup flatter her. The best she looked was as a blonde with soft waves caressing her face, and brows were smoky and thicker than those pencil thin lines. Oh well - she's the greatest or at least one of the greatest actresses of all time.
I think she was so much better looking with her natural brown hair. The blonde made her get lost in the shuffle with the Harlow rip offs of the period. Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
ok

Bette Davis' character Julie was FAR TOO good for Henry Fonda's Pres in my opinion. He just wanted an obedient door mat.
It's always amazing the way so many vibrant people fall in love with the biggest bores.
Just what is the definition of a Tired Old Queen?
LOL! My mirror.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ lol.. ditto!!!!
Til the day she left us she was still pissed off about not getting the Oscar for "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane". Just pull up the clip of her on Johnny Carson talking about it. Sorry Bette, but Anne Bancroft deserved the win for Miracle Worker. Said she " was robbed of it"(Oscar).
I think the red dress that situation is little nonsense.
By today's standards, yes.. But I'm sure that I would find many of the customs involving the locations, societies and the periods of history of other counties equally as strange.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ
You are tact personified. I admire that immensely.💯
In here BD so mean
I like Scarlett she's not mean. But Betty's role is mean.
Scarlett is a manipulative, selfish, monster...in fact,. they both are. I love them both.
You've moved ! - (or you remodeled)
Nope. Just went 'on location".
Show your dolls sometime?
I do, now and then. LOVE 'em!
This is the picture that gave me my intense distaste for Henry Fonda. I can’t see his face without hearing, “Oh, Jooo-leee.” Would have been a much better picture without Henry Fonda, but then, ANY picture is better without Henry Fonda...

Fonda was weak,don't you think? Bd was big star already.
He had to underplay to her.
I like "Jezebel" much more than that overlong snooze-fest, "GWTW."
Not me.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ We can agree to disagree, yet again. (Sigh...)
@@jamesmcinnis208 Yup! And that's just fine. HJave a great weekend, Sweetie! Steve
Bette and Wyler were having a
HOT affair during the filming. She said he was the love of her life.
The man that got away. Between you and I, I think he dodged a bullet. Thanks for watching! Steve
Betty is so small?
They all were. Most were under 5' with large heads and faces, that photographed well for the camera.
Jezebel might be many wonderful things but magic isn't one of them.
Dangerous was such a nothing film. Great cast but it was almost boring. It was based on the stage actress Jeanne Eagel whose life was anything but mundane.
ABette always said it was a compensation prize for not getting the Oscar she deserved for "Of Human Bondage",. Perhaps. But then, the Academy seldom get's it right, especially with Bette. In my opinion she probably should have won it , among others, for ' "The Letter", "The Little Foxes", "Now, Voyager" , "All About Eve" and "Baby Jane". ...LOL! Anyone would think I was a fan. Best; Steve
DANGEROUS was a terrible movie, and Bondage was a masterpiece.
