New Orleans, 1852, the Lympus Ball. Enter Julie Marston (Davis) dressed in scarlet. Deep shock from the maidens in white and the matrons in grey. She starts to waltz and couples shrink from the contaminating touch of her red gown. This justly famous scene from Jezebel (filmed, incidentally, in black-and-white) telescopes many of the film's themes. Julie is socially and sexually transgressive. Indeed her defiance of conventions threatens the very Social Order, and she is soon associated with the fever and fires that devastate the town. Preston Dillard (Fonda), engaged to Julie but already insecure in his masculinity, cannot cope with her dangerous sexuality and finds refuge with a safe woman from the North.

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 fianc? 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. |

NOTE:
The below
Blu-ray
captures were taken directly from the
Blu-ray
disc.
On their
Blu-ray,
Warner Archive use a fairly robust DTS-HD Master 2.0 channel mono track
(24-bit) in the original English language. It is another advancement in
the film's audio and score by, one of my favorites,
Max Steiner (The
Hanging Tree,
Tomorrow
is Forever, Sergeant
York,
Key Largo, Casablanca, The
Caine Mutiny, Bird
of Paradise, Beyond
the Forest, Pursued etc.
etc.) and I
thought the lossless transfer added significantly to the film's drama. Warner Archive offer
optional English subtitles on their Region FREE
Blu-ray.
It's great to have more Bette Davis and
Wyler films reach 1080P. This is a pure classic that can be watched at
any time and enjoyed. But I speak for a few that would appreciate more
new extras (and I don't mean cartoons.) Still this Blu-ray
for the HD a/v and commentary are essential. More Bette please. |
