Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? (2 Disc Set) (1962) |
<<back |

Director Robert Aldrich's story: a thriller about ageing vaudeville child star who initiates a psychotic reign of terror over her crippled '30's movie queen sister. His stars: Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. All he needed was the money. But when Aldrich scoured Hollywood for backing, He kept hearing, “We wouldn't give you a dime for those two old broads”. They were worth millions. Audiences asked What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? in droves – and made this eerie, surprise-laden shocker a deserved smash. It marked both Victor Buono's impressive Oscar nominated screen debut as an oily porcine Tinseltown hanger-on and high points in the careers of its leads. Crawford is heartbreaking as Blanche, the terrorised sister hiding a dreadful secret. And Davis won her 10th Academy Award nomination for her acid portrayal of yowling, grotesque Baby Jane. An Oscar winner for Best Costume Design (1962), What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is funny, frightening... and fabulous.
