The little foxes

Lillian Hellman's play, written in 1939, offers a profound critique of the distortions of American society at the time. "The Little Foxes" was a critical and commercial success and was adapted for the screen, directed by William Wyler and starring Bette Davis. Always politically engaged, it faced opposition from the U.S. government in the 1950s. The play is a great classic of international drama, with frequent productions (including in Rio de Janeiro).
