Jezebel (1938) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #Jezebel
While movie fans were abuzz over who might play Scarlett O'Hara in the upcoming Gone with the Wind, Bette Davis got another Southern-belle role - and gave a fiery performance that won the 1938 Best Actress Academy Award®. Davis plays Julie, a New Orleans beauty whose constant attempts to goad fianc? Pres Dillard (Henry Fonda) to jealousy backfire. Angry and disgraced, Pres breaks their engagement and leaves town. Julie endures a year of remorse until Pres comes home - married. Then her vengeance explodes.
Jezebel is also noted for its sumptuous sets and costumes, Fay Bainter's Oscar®-winning* performance and William Wyler's vivid direction, highlighted by a horrifying re-creation of a yellow fever epidemic. But the film's greatest strength is Davis, whose titanic talent has never been better displayed than in Jezebel.
Directed By William Wyler
Starring Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, George Brent

The Orry-Kelly costumes were stunning.

Never mention a lady's name in a bar. That was considered an offence. How times have changed.

MASTERPIECE

[@dubbelhenke854]

A very good movie. One of Bettes best. And Fay bainter is awesome. The music is wonderful also - Max Steiner really did a good job.

[@jenniehakim7076]

If only this were in color, as it deserved.

[@carolannpacificadam1944]

Totally agree

[@JohnParks-zc1pn]

But then they would have had to deal with Natalie Kalmus of Technicolor. Look up that story.
