"The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" -Bette Davis
It's a simple fact of life that you will meet people who are likable and those who are not. In most circumstances when an actor or actress is aske...( read more)
I'm pretty sure you need to be a catty gay man to get the maximum enjoyment out of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. Bette Davis steals the show as jealous alcoholic to Joan Crawford's invalid. What Ever Happened to Baby Jane comes off like a bitchy (hence my initial comment) soap...( read more)
Blanche: You wouldn't be able to do these awful things to me if I weren't still in this chair.
Jane: But you *are*, Blanche! You *are* in that chair!
Freaky and unforgettable. Bette Davis plays "Baby Jane", a faded starlet who keeps her invalid sister (Joan Crawford) locked up at their large home. There's some shocking and funny scenes. I loved the surreal "Baby Jane" revival scene on the beach. A classic.
excelent atmosphere!!!amazing performances and two of the best actors of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A well deserved cult classic. '...Baby Jane' is at times genuinely frightening. Well shot and Bette Davis' performance is fucking A. Great, great film.
No recent reviews.
Hardly the comedy people are saying it is. Just because it has a few funny moments ("Who the hell was that", says one man after deluded Jane thinks everyone knows of her) doesn't make it a balck comedy.
A dark, distirbing thriller, not comedic atall really.
Hi,
Accidently viewed this movie when I was the age of 10 in 1970.
My Very Straight father said at the time " yeah it's a beaut(Australian for "awesome") film!!!
Little did he know what consequences it was to bring to an innocent infant of 10!
Now that I am 46, it is still my favourite film!!!
" I cab't help it- I'm very sorry " as Jane would say.
Cheers,
