I love the old Bette Davis movies also...one of my favorites, which was on TV just a few weeks ago, is 'Jezebel'....ah, a very young and lovely Bette Davis, and a young and handsome Henry Fonda...I just love that movie...

You know, when Bette Davis made that movie, she made it in hopes of it leading her to the role of Scarlett Ohara in Gone With the Wind....since in Jezebel, Davis also plays a strong willed southern woman, she had thought it was a great venue for showing off her skills...casting for GWTW was going on, and she hoped this role in Jezebel, would be like a full length screen test...ah, it was not to be...as we all know Viven Leigh, got the role, which to my mind anyway, was the perfect actress for the role....

But wanting that role, made Bette Davis in her role in 'Jezebel' to be just wonderful...

Yes.. I recall most of that about Betty and Gone with the Wind.. I loved Jezebel, and was it Bon Voyager? Omg.. I loved that one so much..

I just promised Jessie, my granddaughter, that when I get home.. her and I are going to watch Gone with the Wind together. I got the DVD just before I left, and haven't watched it yet.. We will make some popcorn and lots of goodies and settle our butts for the marathon.. lol

I have the whole theater system and the sound should be great.
