La sombra de la guerra de Secesión y la fiebre amarilla se ciernen sobre los personajes de “Jezabel”, el melodrama de William Wyler precedente de la superproducción de la MGM “Lo que el viento se llevó”. Aquí tenemos a Julie (Bette Davis), una jovencita del sur, caprichosa y manipuladora, tanto como Escarlata O¨Hara. En torno a Bette Davis gravitan todos los personajes y objetos del film, los esclavos negros de igual forma parecen vivir felices en su situación, con niños graciosos y el tío Cato, el mayordomo que brinda por el matrimonio del caballero sureño en la cocina para que nadie le vea. Julie, la Davis, resplandece con su vestido rojo en un vals de mujeres de blanco, una mujer adelantada a su época, vanidosa y terca, expresa la ira, la emoción, la pasión y la depresión en esos primeros planos que su ferviente admirador Wyler le dedica. Preston -Henry Fonda- la quiere, aunque es de la misma tierra de pantanos y tradiciones, simboliza los valores de la modernidad, los aires que soplan desde el norte y así se enfrenta en las reuniones con los inmovilistas patrones, los que no ven con buenos ojos que el ferrocarril haga la competencia al comercio marítimo del Mississippi. El hombre del sur es George Brent, el otro pretendiente, con unas convicciones puras, sin diluir, él no diluye el Bourbon con agua en el gran Salón de San Luis, rodeado de hombres de honor, aterrados por la plaga. Wyler nos cuenta esta obra de Owen Davis con movimientos de cámara seguros, con gráciles travellings y barridos por las calles de Nueva Orleans y sus suntuosas mansiones, en las escaleras que en “La loba” también tenían protagonismo, y en la recordada escena del vals, en ese salón todas las miradas de indignación se posan en la joven rebelde y atormentada de sí misma, hasta el punto que su tía (Fay Bainter) la compara con Jezabel, la orgullosa y manipuladora reina bíblica de Israel. Esta noche giramos la cabeza para contemplar a la joven del vestido rojo... Zacarías Cotán, Raúl Gallego, Salvador Limón, David Velázquez y José Miguel Moreno.
