Plot
A headstrong Southern belle.
Sinekatalog’s take
William Wyler's Southern melodrama gave Bette Davis her second Oscar as a defiant belle. Her fierce performance, a red dress at a ball and Henry Fonda's decency make it a classic of the genre.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
