Bette Davis stars in an Academy Award-winning role as the beautiful, charming, ruthless Southern belle who scandalizes New Orleans society--destroying the men who love her--a vixen who earns the name Jezebel. Julie Marsden (Davis) has a place in New Orleans society and a man who adores her, Preston Dillard (Academy Award winner Henry Fonda). But she scandalizes society and her beau when she insists on wearing a stunning red gown to a ball that requires ladies to be dressed in white. Marsden's headstrong action begins a chain of events that will reveal both her raw viciousness and the profound depth of her love and sacrifice for Marsden.

You will find Jezebel an authentic and logical piece of work, and you will find Miss Davis a really fine actress.

It’s nice to realize that Wyler didn’t slack off when it came to craftsmanship. I would argue that this film has a problem in terms of not having a great sense of place but the interiors are all well decorated and Wyler lingers on the luxuriousness...

Even the historical backdrop - primarily with the paranoia, death, and destruction from the yellow jack epidemic - are no match for Davis' fiery persona.

Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)

Bette Davis, more restrained than usual, sometimes subtle, and none-the-less powerful, does the wilful Southern belle to a crisp.

Does Jezebel chart Bette Davis' redemption, or punishment?
