{"product_id":"0883929692477","title":"Jezebel","description":"\u003ci\u003eJezebel\u003c\/i\u003e was, in 1938, widely regarded as Warner Bros.' \"compensation\" to {|Bette Davis|} for her losing the opportunity to play Scarlett O'Hara in \u003ci\u003eGone with the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e. Resemblances to the two properties are inescapable: \u003ci\u003eJezebel\u003c\/i\u003e heroine Julie Morrison is a headstrong Southern belle not unlike Scarlett (Julie lives in New Orleans rather than Georgia); she foolishly loves a man (played by {|Henry Fonda|}) who is betrothed to another; and she makes a public spectacle of herself by wearing an inappropriate red dress at a ball, just as Scarlett O'Hara brazenly danced with Rhett Butler while still garbed in widow's weeds. There are several other resemblances between the two properties, but it's important to note that \u003ci\u003eJezebel\u003c\/i\u003e is set in the 1850s, several years before \u003ci\u003eGone with the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e's Civil War milieu; and we must observe that, unlike Scarlett O'Hara, Julie Morrison is humbled by her experiences and ends up giving of her time, energy and health during a deadly Yellow Jack outbreak. Bette Davis won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Julie Morrison; an additional Oscar went to {|Fay Bainter|} for her portrayal of the remonstrative Aunt Belle (she's the one who labels Julie a \"Jezebel\" at a crucial plot point). The offscreen intrigues of \u003ci\u003eJezebel\u003c\/i\u003e, including Bette Davis' romantic attachment to director {|William Wyler|} and costar {|George Brent|}, have been fully documented elsewhere. \u003ci\u003eJezebel\u003c\/i\u003e was based on an old and oft-produced play by Owen Davis Sr.","brand":"Warner Archives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185420550384,"sku":"0883929692477","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0883929692477_p0.jpg?v=1763892367","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0883929692477","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
