One Year Before Jezebel
16 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This light weight has the look of an assembly line romance movie of the 1930's. Bette Davis & Henry Fonda get a few on screen kisses. This one has an only so so script which is what holds back the finished product.

If your fan of Fonda or Davis, this is worth a look. Jezebel is definitely better.

Interesting the detective in this movie is played by Syndey Toler who would later take over the series Charlie Chan from Warner Oland. Fonda needs approval from his father to live with Davis, but once he gets it, she balks and decides to run away.

At the end of the movie they reconnect- but the story is left open ended as to where they go from here. Happy Birthday today to Henry Fonda.
