JEZEBEL

Directed by William Wyler
Starring Bette Davis and Henry Fonda

“Ford’s mythologizing has seldom seemed stronger or more subtle.”
– David Kehr

“Explodes in the histrionic splendor and ‘excess’ of the celebrated final sequence.”
– Time Out, London

“A Masterpiece of concision, yet it breathes an air of casual improvisation.”
– Geoffrey O’Brien
