Lavish production.. For the time -remember Jezebel was shot during the Gone with the wind rewriting southern history hysteria - some fairly frank discussion of slavery and abolitionism. House slaves were treated as friends and counselors, which stretched belief to the breaking point.. More true to type there were happy darkies performing for white folks. Yellow fever sceenes were harrowing. Aside from an almost alarmingly young Henry Fonda.performers were uniformly good. So was the script. But Betty Davis' Jezebel was a pretty wimpy vixen. When the crunch came she surrendered to her better impulses. The Biblical Jezebel was made of sterner stuff. She was a bitch to the end.
