Bette Davis and Henry Fonda in 'Jezebel'. That´s the scene before the popular 'red dress scene'.

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.

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.

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.
@markrichards68633 жыл бұрын
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

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.
@Libruhh4 жыл бұрын
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.

@jackanthony9764 жыл бұрын
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.
