Bette Davis stars in an Academy Award-winning role as the beautiful, charming, ruthless Southern belle who scandalizes New Orleans society--destroying the men who love her--a vixen who earns the name Jezebel. Julie Marsden (Davis) has a place in New Orleans society and a man who adores her, Preston Dillard (Academy Award winner Henry Fonda). But she scandalizes society and her beau when she insists on wearing a stunning red gown to a ball that requires ladies to be dressed in white. Marsden's headstrong action begins a chain of events that will reveal both her raw viciousness and the profound depth of her love and sacrifice for Marsden.
