THE LITTLE FOXES
"THE LITTLE FOXES" (1941)
MY THOUGHTS ... This movie was "new" to me, and I just loved it. it kept me totally captivated! It is another fine example of Bette Davis's acting prowess, and now I understand why so many of her fans consider this her "best movie." The story was compelling and carried a strong message about greed & ethics ... both in business and within a family. The entire cast did a marvelous job, and through them I was introduced to the work of some excellent actors. Definitely worth the watch!!
