ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

katiehughes Bette Davis gives an incredible performance as Regina Giddons in William Wyler's "The Little Foxes. Greedy and conniving, Regina Giddons is a perhaps one of the easiest to hate characters I've ever encountered in a film. However, in contrast, Teresa Wright's Alexandra is one of the easiest characters to love. A seemingly innocent character at first, Alexandra quickly wises up to her mother's ways as the film progresses. Perhaps one of the best lines to demonstrate this would be when Alexandra finally starts standing up to her mother, to which Regina responds, "Why, Alexandra, you have spirit after all. I used to think you were all sugar-water" Unfortunately, it all goes wrong when Regina's husband, Horace (Herbert Marshall) starts to catch on to his greedy wife's ways. Unfortunately, it's just when he stands up to her that his heart medication is out of reach and Regina is left to decide between what she wants and what is right.

dlbhina622 Incomparable in the cinematography, the lighting effects, the close-ups, the work of a true master. It's hard to imagine how long ago this film was made, yet has managed to keep its integrity. Intelligent, sardonic, with a brilliant performance by Bette Davis, I for one consider this one of the greatest films ever made.I think that Herbert Marshall underplayed his role to give more stage to Ms. Davis, which may not have been his choosing. He didn't seem to be as sick as he was supposed to be, and seemed distant at times, as if acknowledging to be second fiddle. Even so, as a drama, as a story about a dysfunctional wealthy family, no cast today could outshine this one. Could any actress have done better to capture the moment when she refuses to give him his medicine as he lay on the staircase begging, and the close-up of her eyes, dark and cold, yet uncertain. Amazing.

Victoria Colarusso The Little Foxes was a shocking story of betrayal and manipulation within family bloodlines. The greed and corruption that runs rampant in the Hubbards is stunning, even from today's perspective. There is something heart-breaking about family turning on family in order to reach a financial goal. Regina is clearly the star of the film, even though she is the antagonist. Her daughter, Alexandra, is who the audience truly identifies with. Watching Alexandra overcome the evil she's been brought up around is inspiring. Try as she might, Regina could not bring her daughter down to the level she was at. Watching an innocent, naive young girl grow up and realize what her family is was as sad as it was happy. Alexandra was dealt a terrible card in life, but she rose above it.

RoseXGold I liked this movie and I didn't at the same time. Is that even possible?? Well, here goes. I loved the overall plot of the movie, it is very wicked! That is intriguing to an audience...a plot that makes you raise a brow. I liked the character that was played by Davis. Davis lights an extremely stern kind of evil spirit into her character. The costume and lighting came to aid in this evil persona. The music also caused a dramatization for the overall movie. The hairstyles really portrayed the personalities of the characters quite well. Regina's(Davis)hair was never out of line. It was always kept tight and put together. Not a single strand was out of place. The styles were very rigid, like her character. Facial expressions were key in this film. Davis' expressions were nothing but chilling and cold. This I believe was exactly what the film needed. The downside was, in my opinion, the movie was a bit too drawn out for my liking. However, this is just my opinion. The overall production of the film was great though.
