Jezebel

Jezebel (1938) more movies like this

directed by William Wyler
featuring Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, George Brent, Margaret Lindsay, Donald Crisp, Fay Bainter

In 1938, Jezebel was widely regarded as Warner Bros.' "compensation" to Bette Davis for her losing the opportunity to play Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. Resemblances between the two properties are inescapable: Jezebel heroine Julie Marsden (Davis) is a headstrong Southern belle not unlike Scarlett (Julie lives in New Orleans rather than ...

In This Our Life

In This Our Life (1942) more movies like this

directed by John Huston
featuring Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, George Brent, Dennis Morgan, Charles Coburn

Howard Koch's screenplay is a trifle predictable, but it's well structured and provides the requisite juicy roles for its pair of female stars. It also provides a number of little surprises ...

The Old Maid

directed by Edmund Goulding
featuring Bette Davis, Miriam Hopkins, George Brent, Donald Crisp, Jane Bryan

When Zoë Akins' play The Old Maid (based on a novel by Edith Wharton) won the 1934-1935 Pulitzer Prize, the selection was roundly condemned by critics, who felt that Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour was more deserving, but had lost because of its lesbian theme. Certainly, Akins' story of the relationship between two Southern cousins in the ...
