1852, New Orleans. A csinos, ám önfejű July meggondolatlan kijelentéseivel és felelőtlen tetteivel visszariasztja vőlegényét a közelgő házasságuktól. A jegyesség felbontását később a lány százszor is megbánja, de egykori udvarlója már másnál vigasztalódik. Amikor a városban kitörő sárgalázjárványban egykori kedvese is megbetegszik, mindent elkövet, hogy ő maga ápolhassa a férfit. "Scarlett O'Hara kelt életre July személyében" - írta a New York Times kritikusa Bette Davis Oscar-díjas alakításáról. (Örökmozgó)

I've known that Bette Davis is captivating for some time, but thanks to this movie, I was convinced of it again. Her acting performance is so great that she has no competition in the movie. She's not an actress whom the camera loves, there have been others for that, but she is an actress with incredible talent who was able to deliver uniquely. Her portrayal of Julie is exactly what requires an excellent performer. The screenplay itself is certainly not weak and has suitable twists.

They are classics that have not aged well and Jezebel belongs to them. She has William Wyler in the director's chair, who at times turns her into an immeasurable epic, she has Bette Davis, who confirms her status as a legend when she raises her eyebrow playing even a giant like Henry Fonda. However, she also has an unpleasantly superficial veneer, a twist based on the color of the dresses, which not only due to the black and white palette of the material, but also due to its archaism does not work - and first and foremost has a main character who is supposed to repent when the statuesque men around her behave much worse than she does. This aspect feels physically unpleasant when watching, and because parallels between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries do not resonate in the desired way today, I remain with a more restrained evaluation.
