Six years after exploding to stardom in Of Human Bondage, Bette Davis equals that excitement with another W. Somerset Maugham role, this time as an adulteress using her sexual wiles to escape a murder conviction in The Letter.

The film throbs with sultry tension, thanks to Davis and the film’s impeccable supporting cast, not forgetting the artistry of three-time Academy Award winner William Wyler, who also directed Davis’ in Jezebel and The Little Foxes. Nominated for seven Oscars including Best Picture, Director, Actress and Supporting Actor, The Letter remains one of Hollywood’s most special deliveries, a peerless example of melodrama as movie art.

JamDown 09 is a Reggae music festival presented by GroundNation and The iLLers that will showcase seasoned reggae acts from different parts of the region, including Singapore, Philippines and Australia. For an art form that originated in the heart of Africa, it has truly found its place spanning the heart of the world- from Ska to Reggae.

JamDown 09 has garnered far-reaching interest from renowned and seasoned artistes, many of which will be here exclusively in Singapore for the launch of what we hope will be the first of many such extravaganzas.

In keeping with our universal message of One Love, we are honored by the involvement of Mercy Relief, who will be opening up a donations channel in support of victims of the recent natural disasters.

As the organisers say… “Spread The Love, People!”

Venue: Downtown East, D’Marquee
