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

82 years... and it still grabs your attention.

[@blackmoom]

One of the greatest film actresses, at her peak. Just superb. My favorite performance of hers.

[@zthechainz]

Her star power just leaps off the screen.

[@CathyKitson]

She may have been spoilt and done wrong, but, my God, she had balls!

[@mka1967]

I love the look on the enslaved characters.....like girl you know you wrong😂

[@richardgornalle4536]

Wonderful actress. Loved her work. Must find time to watch this movie.

[@sheiladavis6523]

[@richardgornalle4536]

@@sheiladavis6523 I have since watched this movie. Bette Davis was, as usual, brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed the film. A true legend.

If she wore that to the Met Gala they would say she was dressed quite modestly.

[@dominiquedescottes8314]

Ce n'est pas ma tasse de thé Mais force est de reconnaitre la qualité de la mise en SCENE,le jeu des acteurs La beauté de l'actrice La prestance des messieurs Ce n'est pas n'importe quoi

[@elizabethfigueroa6159]

I would have “yes you go girl” 🙌🙌😍

[@antoniobenitezroldan4167]

Soberbia escena

[@user-yh2ro9kj2y]

EN KZbin NO DAN TODAS LAS PELICULAS CLASICAS DE HOLLYWOOD.. SOLO ALGUNAS... QUE PENA

[@mariocisneros911]

Better than gone with the wind. And she should've been scarlett

[@bethanne558cooke7]

I wish they would colorize this!

[@eamonndeane587]

If this was colourized it would expose that the Dress is actually Brown. They originally filmed this scene with Bette wearing a Red Dress but the lighting made the dress look too pale in the captured footage.

[@bebagaray4002]

Por que no puedo ver la,película Jezabel en español y completa

[@rosamariarodriguez4553]

En español por favor gracias

[@elizabethfigueroa6159]

I think it’s particular cool, just chill bro 🤣

[@karumina]

The dude dumped her after she wore the red dress to the party and then married a Yankee girl. Both are insults to southern lifestyle, aren't they?

[@hormiga7851]

What was so wrong to wear a different color dress?? It was another time i guess..

[@LilyGazou]

Hormiga78 it was against the social dress code- the young women are wearing white to signify they are single and virginal, ready to meet an eligible gentleman for marriage. She causes a scandal by wearing a lurid red dress which is also sleeveless and low-cut, the sort of dress worn by an experienced woman of the world. It was like giving the middle finger to her society. Like Miley Cyrus twerking on stage and shocking everyone after being a teen idol.

To understand what all the fuss about Bette Davis is, you have to go back in time and see the films she made in the 30's and the 40's, before she was ravaged by nicotine and stuck in her mannerisms... Olivia de Havallind captures it here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaOpZmivn6h0gLM
