Reviews for The Little Foxes
Significantly (and surprisingly) the nasty tone of Hellman's morality drama about corruption and greed in a Southern clan remained intact, allowing Bette Davis (in a role that Bankhead originated on stage) to shine as the amoral and immoral matriarch
The Little Foxes is worth seeing for a number of reasons from its beautiful and innovative cinematography to the striking and mordantly witty screenplay.
A classic example of how a play can be successfully adapted into a movie.
Sharply written, insightful and still timely study of turn of the century antebellum avarice.
