Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
A cultish horror favorite, 1962's What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? will make you think twice before hungrily unveiling a covered plate of food. Bette Davis stars as Jane Hudson, a onetime child actress and singer. As an elderly woman, she wishes to revive her vaudevillian career, but she has become a grotesque caricature of her former self. Over the years as her star faded, the star of her older sister Blanche (Joan Crawford) rose, outshining the career of the has-been Baby Jane. Jane was relegated to minor roles, which she only won when Blanche demanded that she be awarded them. The film opens years after a calamitous car accident leaves Blanche in a wheelchair, with no one to care for her except the increasingly insane and sadistic Jane and their servant, Norman. Trying to punish Blanche for her years of success, Jane tortures the housebound woman, slowly trying to starve her to death, all the while attempting to recapture the fame of her youth. This dark drama also stars Victor Buono as the hefty pianist who answers Jane's ad for an accompanist, hoping to milk some money off the demented old woman. Both Buono and Davis were nominated for Oscars for their roles in this suspenseful and somewhat sick thriller that exploited well the real-life antagonism between Davis and Crawford, while at the same time rejuvenated both their careers. --Jenny Brown

- Clash Of The Movie Titans: The Famed Hudson Sisters
Robert Aldrich's 1962 Movie Masterpiece, "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" is one of my all time favorite films and one of the visionary staples of my youth. I have long admired the "larger than life" glamour and cinematic greatness of Movie Legends Bette Davis b. Ruth Elizabeth Davis, (1908-1989) and Joan Crawford b. Lucille Faye LeSueur, (1904-1977) and this superbly acted, well-crafted film justifies and further cements that appreciation.
In short, the film is about an embittered, neurotic ... Read More

- Clasic thriller
Sibling rivarly at this worst! Bette Davis plays a wheelchair bound sister (once a child star)to Joan Crawford (who's always envied and hated her. All grown and much older, older sister (Joan) is taking "care" of her sister. Now at her mercy, (Joan) takes out her anger at (Bette) by terrorizing her.

I saw this movie when I was a teenager. I absolutely loved it. It is still a good thriller today. My much younger sister, saw this movie a while back and was telling me about it. She said ... Read More

- Great film with two famous stars
Both Davis and Crawford give great performances in this strangely offbeat film of two aging sisters living a weird and bizarre life together in a no longer so glamorous neighborhood.

Davis is particularly horrible looking, with heavy white pancake makeup, and painted on lips and creepy eyebrows. Her cackling laugh and voice are very disarming as well.

Crawford plays the invalid with much pathos. Both women portray what can happen to any of us in life. The sad decline of these ... Read More
