WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? (1962)
“An extreme melodrama so overwrought it beggars belief … Creepy, freaky and memorably histrionic.” – Daniel Etherington, FILM 4

"The bitchy battle of the century between warring divas Bette Davis and Joan Crawford … builds with ever-growing force to a shocking climax.” – Elliot Stein, VILLAGE VOICE

"Whatever happened to Baby Jane? You'd better be shock-proofed before you dare find out!"

"But you are, Blanche, you are in that chair!" Now regarded as a camp classic, this ghoulish suspense shocker had audiences gasping upon its initial 1962 release, and kicked off the whole 1960s "Hag Horror" film genre featuring iconic actresses from Hollywood's Golden Age slathered up in freaky make-up and battling it out in twisted thrillers whose titles invariably posed such provocative questions as What's the Matter with Helen? and Who Slew Auntie Roo? Here, in the greatest Hag Horror film of them all, the legendary Bette Davis (who was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her role in the film) tears up the screen as demented former child star Baby Jane Hudson, who shares a decaying Hollywood mansion with her crippled, wheelchair-bound sister Blanche, an ex-movie queen played by a surprisingly sympathetic Joan Crawford (who was NOT Oscar-nominated for her work in the film ... uh-oh!). When not dressing up in little girl drag, singing songs to her dead father and planning her own questionable Hollywood comeback, Baby Jane enjoys tormenting her poor sister in increasingly vicious ways (uncomfortably mimicking the epic, decades-long feud Davis and Crawford shared off-camera), leading to a real humdinger of a climax that is both chilling and hilarious. Directed by the great Robert Aldrich (Kiss Me Deadly, The Dirty Dozen, Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte).
