What Ever Happened to Baby Jane
What have I been missing? What a disturbing picture, starring Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, who play two aging stars of stage and film locked in a death grip of jealousy and deceit. Ms. Crawford’s body is failing although her mind is quite clear, and her wickedly jealous sister Ms. Davis is limber as a willow reed yet disturbed in the noodle. You get old Hollywood writing, setups, language I enjoy, formalities that no longer exist, and a very engrossing film, one my father’s told me about as he is a walking old picture database but one I didn’t get to until now. Netflix this one if you like old movies that get a little chilling.
