Review – What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Clearly the main attraction here is the pairing of Bette Davis as a mentally-unhinged former child star and Joan Crawford as her helpless, wheelchair-bound sister. Poor Blanche’s torments at the hands of boozy psycho Jane are entertaining in a how-will-she-get-out-of-this way for awhile, but the story wears out its welcome as the writers scramble for more and more ludicrous ways to keep Blanche alive yet un-rescued. If this had been a half an hour or so shorter, it would have been a much better movie. Mildly amusing
