The Little Foxes
The Little Foxes is a 1941 film directed by William Wyler and starring Bette Davis. It was the film version of the play by Lillian Hellman, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture in 1941.
The title comes from the Bible; chapter 2, verse 17 of the Song of Solomon reads: "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." This is a translation that should more properly have translated "little foxes" as "fruitbats", but it must be admitted that "take us the fruitbats" is not nearly so poetic.
