Review of The Little Foxes (1941) by David U — 06 Feb 2007
Davis is the envy of any woman who wants to control anything and everything she wants. Regina Giddens is the most manipulative, vindictive and classiest women of the south ever. She is not above doing all she can to exert her authority over all living things, especially humans. To say she is not the perfect woman is the very minimal of what she is.
Her tones all carry a heavy weight of what she wants and will get at any cost. Men are putty in her hand. Her husband caves into her. Her daughter obeys every word she says. Even her brothers are beholden to her. Bette Davis was given some of the most powerful and enduring roles, and one view of this film will teach anyone that women are not above playing mind games to get what they want.
Whether that is right or wrong is up to the viewer to decide. In any regard it is a snapshot at the life of a very determined woman.
