Amazon.com essential video:
William Wyler and Bette Davis made their third and final collaboration their finest with this striking 1941 adaptation of Lillian Hellman's acidic play. The titular foxes are a particularly ravenous turn-of-the-century Southern moneyed clan, the Hubbards, and the most cunning of them all is sister Regina Giddens, the brilliant but ruthless woman played by Davis. In contrast to the manipulative Regina and her scheming brothers (Charles Dingle and Carl Benton Reid) is her guileless sister-in-law Birdie (Patricia Collinge in a delicately flighty performance) and her sickly, humanistic husband Horace (Herbert Marshall), whom she tolerates only for his money and position--until he stands in the way of a scheme that could bring her a fortune. Teresa Wright is the hope of the next generation as Regina's thoughtful daughter, Alexandra, who stands in marked contrast to her graceless, greedy cousin Leo (Dan Duryea). Wyler's longtime cameraman, Gregg Toland, fresh from his groundbreaking work on Citizen Kane, fills the film with amazing deep-focus compositions and razor-sharp images, showing off the grandly handsome mansion set in all its old-world splendor. But for all its beauty Wyler reveals it as a cold, lonely world ruled by a heartless woman. Excellent performances by all make Hellman's sharp dialogue glint like the edge of a knife, which ultimately cuts deep into the soul of this powerful classic. --Sean Axmaker

Why is this classic shown here in the cheap/fullscreen format & not the widescreen it was originally filmed in? I say, buyer beware... hold out, until they release it in it's full format. Let's hope that is soon!

A stinging portrait of family greed and corruption, dripping with venomous dialogue. Lillian Hellman's THE LITTLE FOXES stars Bette Davis as money-minded family matriarch Regina Giddens. Desperate to pool her family fortune with those of her two brothers (Carl Benton Reid and Charles Dingle) for what promises to be a huge windfall if invested properly, Regina asks daughter Alexandra (Teresa Wright) to bring home her estranged husband Horace (Herbert Marshall), and even though he's dying of an acute ...

Just as good today as when it was made (1941). Terrific ensemble cast, excellent writing (Lillian Hellman wrote the play and screenplay), and of course there's always Bette doing her thing. A melodrama with enough intrigue and ruthless, despicable characters to keep you riveted. One of the timeless classics. Directed by William Wyler.
Rating: -
I see this movie more of a straight drama than a normal Bette Davis melodrama, thanks in part to the crisp dialog and nature of the story.
It's a story about money and how to use it or how to acquire more of it through deceit and greed. Davis, as "Regina Gidden," is the most greedy of the Gidden clan, vying for more money with her brothers who aren't exactly trustworthy people themselves. Among the three, there wasn't anyone to root for since the family shared in their lust for money.

Why you'll like it- great acting,classic drama,good cast. Why you wont - the movie is just too long,& too talky,& maybe you wouldn't like to see family members blackmailing each other/too downbeat. Bette Davis fans will not want to miss this one. It is a classic,but for me it wasn't my cup of tea. She & her brothers are like JR Ewing of Dallas basically. She is scheming against her brothers & her husband,she plays a foul character as do her brothers in particular Charles Dingle(what a SOB is he is). I ... Read More
