New on Blu-ray: JEZEBEL (1938) Starring Bette Davis and Henry Fonda

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: 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 fiancé 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 Wylers 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.
