Review of Jezebel (1938) by Alexis A — 02 Dec 2008
As "Hollywood's second favorite portrayal of a spoiled Southern belle," the film is subject to inevitable comparison to Gone With the Wind. Obviously less grandiose, yet with a fairly generous budget, Wyler still fittingly captures the South in a refreshing way that steers away from stereotypes.
Refreshing too is Bette Davis's slightly more placated version of Scarlett - though equally as bold. Apart from GWTW, it focuses more on characters than plot, and really, shouldn't be overlooked.
