	Jezebel
		Jezebel is the name of a Queen of Israel, whose story is told in the Old Testament of the Bible, as told in I Kings[?].
		Jezebel was a pagan, the daughter of King Ithobaal I of Tyre, who married King Ahab.
		Jezebel is also the name of a 1938 film that tells the story of a headstrong young Southern woman during the years prior to the American Civil War, and how her actions cost her the love of the man she truly loves.

	JEZEBEL
		Instead of wearing the requisite white gown, de rigueur for unmarried ladies, she decides to attend wearing a vibrant red dress – something you have to take their word for since the film is in B&W. Her aunt and uncle are horrified and beg her to reconsider, but she refuses.
		JEZEBEL is a star turn of the highest order and if you're not a fan of Miss Davis, you will most likely not care for this movie.
		The best scene in the film is the one at the ball where Pres and Julie join a full dance floor only to quickly become the only ones dancing.

	Jezebel (1938 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some believe the film was developed as a vehicle for Bette Davis after she failed to win the part of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind.
		In 2006, Film historian Jeanine Basinger recorded a comprehensive scene by scene commentary as part of the re-issued DVD of the film.
		In her commentary about Davis, Basinger relates that this film is distinctive in the realm of women's pictures because of Orry-Kelly's brilliant costume designs for the actress.

	dOc DVD Review: Jezebel (1938)
		Jezebel may have been a Broadway flop, but it would be an unqualified success for Davis, winning the star her second Best Actress Oscar and launching a decade of slick, prestigious vehicles meticulously designed to showcase her unique talent and magnetism.
		Jezebel marked the first of three collaborations between Davis and director William Wyler, and his influence upon her cannot be overstated.
		Jezebel: Legend of the South is a comprehensive, stylishly produced documentary that chronicles the film's production history and evaluates its various technical elements through stills, film clips, and analyses by an army of film historians.

	Carla Gannis
		Jezebel is a woman caught between realities, existing in the future, present and past simultaneously.
		Gannis, a native of the Southern United States, was first inspired by the 1938 film in which an outspoken 19th century Southern belle -- played by the actress Bette Davis -- is ostracized and labeled a "Jezebel" for wearing a red dress, instead of a "virginal" white dress, to a formal ball.
		Jezebel CHRISTINA: the woman who actually plays Jezebel in this work, as herself, a real woman, who contends with racial and personal identity politics -- politics not dissimilar to those encountered by fl female slaves as well as white females activists derogatorily called "Jezebels" during the first 200 years of US history.

		Already middle aged, she had made only a handful of films, often cast as the sweet and gentle mother, or the trusted friend.
		1938 would prove to be her year, with a starring role in White Banners, playing a homeless woman who finds herself taking care of a middle class family.
		As luck would have it, Bainter was competing in that category with her co-star in another film, Jezebel.

		The portrayal of Southern culture as strange and alien to Northerners, the fetishization of Southern womanhood (a "frail, delicate chalice," as one male character puts it), the references to the abolitionist controversy, and the depiction of the relationships between fl servants and white masters are all fascinating elements in the film, and richly ironic.
		Jezebel is actually set before the Civil War (unlike GTW) in the early 1850's when the South was a thriving place, and men held great store in their honour,and women well versed in meeting the strictly defined code of dress and behaviour that was so fundamental to life in the Olde South.
		This movie won Bette Davis her second Academy Award for Best Actress in 1938, and she proved how much she deserved it in "Jezebel." Beginning around 1937, the films she made during the next ten years were all of superior quality, all commercially successful, and often critically acclaimed.

		While Jezebel is most notable for Bette's fiery, strong-willed and multi-faceted performance, the film also serves as a wonderful period piece, a deftly written romantic melodrama that astutely portrays early 1850s New Orleans ante-bellum society.
		Yes, she's a "Jezebel" but perhaps in name only, because she's also a naively frail young girl, whose only real fault is that, she's impetuous and doesn't really think too much before she acts or opens her mouth.
		It's a grand, sweeping, superbly acted film, and a splendid character study of a flawed woman, and it shows the young Bette at her vampish, coquettish, and sardonic best.

	Jezebel (1938)
		Jezebel (1938) is a romantic melodrama with views of early 1850s New Orleans ante-bellum society.
		The role of the title character was offered as compensation to film star Bette Davis - her first major film role - when she lost the opportunity to play Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind (1939), a characterization with a similar heroine.
		In fact, the film has been called a fl-and-white version of the famous Selznick film that was in its pre-production stages.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- JEZEBEL
		The fl and white film element is in very good shape and displays only minor blemishes.
		The transfer has some mild film grain, but is otherwise well detailed and displays good contrast.
		JEZEBEL is a rich rewarding Hollywood classic, which features one of Bette Davis’; finest performances.

		I have many of her films and have seen many more, some are great others are simply contractual obligations, and quite obviously so.

		Wyler: No. Well, not basically, not between her and me, but I do remember an incident early in the film in which she--I believe a scene with Henry Fonda--in which she was sort of raising hell with him, and she was doing it in the normal way, the scenes like that she usually played.
		It's bound to happen in the making of a film where you do little bit by little bit, you know, because she wants to give her best every day, and her best may be too much.
		It was an entirely different sort of story, although there were similarities in the character of Jezebel and the character of Scarlett in so far as they were both attractive Southern belles, very headstrong, and that their headstrongness sort of did them in in the end.

		Jezebel, which wrapped up as Gone With the Wind was entering pre-production, was either Bette Davis' feature-length screen test for Scarlett O'Hara or a consolation prize for not getting the part.
		As Jezebel, she is old enough and established as an actress to bring real depth and credibility to the role, while being young enough so as not have established the Davis Trademarks to demean the role with.
		In 1938 Bette Davis was a beautiful captivating actress who auditioned and lost for "Gone With the Wind" like every other female star did, with one difference, she starred in "Jezebel" winning an Oscar for Best Actress the year before.

		His prestigious films are often marked by bloat (Andrew Sarris places him in Strained Seriousness) and his forms are undoubtedly subject to the styles and demands of the year, the decade, the industry, the genre, the stars, and so forth.
		Fleischer is remarkable for the passages of silence and near-silence in his films; they often serve as a counterweight to the dialogue-heavy passages which push forward the plots.
		What distinguishes this film is its fusion of seemingly disparate elements into a mind-boggling synthesis: we have a pulp narrative, practically devoid of sympathetic characters, marked by the taint of America’s racist past and its continued racial imbalance, which in turn rhymes with the flourish of residual classical Hollywood style.

	village voice > film > "William Wyler" at Film Forum by Elliott Stein
		Although Film Forum's 34-film retro is not likely to pop him back on the throne, it does include some rarely seen and underrated plums, among them archival prints of Wyler's intriguing first sound pictures, and could jump-start a few reappraisals.
		Wyler was born in Alsace, of Swiss-German parentage.
		Indomitable Bette Davis was in her feverish element in the trio of dramas she made with Wyler: as a headstrong Southern belle in Jezebel (1938), the adulterous wife of a planter in Malaya in The Letter (1940), and the rapacious central figure in Lillian Hellman's deep-South potboiler The Little Foxes (1941).

		After insisting on buying a flaming red dress to wear to a white dress only party, she is mortified when Fonda forces her to stay and dance with him while the rest of the attendees at the party look on in horrified silence.
		(One wonders why Warner's didn't film this in Technicolor, since the effect of the red dress is a little lost on audiences.) He does it to teach her a lesson—there are consequences to her machinations.
		At least in this film we have two characters, Preston and Amy, who disagree with the slave system, and the overall slant of the entire movie is a sort of half-hearted indictment of the Old South's code of ethics that was rooted in slavery.
