Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) – The legendary snort between rival divas Bette Davis and Joan Crawford fuelled the fire both on- and off-screen in Director Robert Aldrich’s Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Its Tall Guignol tale of an aging ex-vaudeville child star (Davis) waging a psychotic reign of fear over her crippled ex-movie star sister (Crawford) became a crash hit and nabbed Davis her 10th Academy Award nomination for her acid portrayal of the title role. Nominated for an impressive five Academy Awards (winning for Best Costume Originate), Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? is a mirthful masterpiece of the macabre.

Oh yeah! I’ve been waiting quite awhile to partake in this slab of metaphysical weirdness! Needless to say, “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? ” is everything you’ve heard and more. People went attend and forth, frothing at the mouth in anticipation of a Freddy Krueger versus Jason Voorhees duel in “Freddy vs. Jason,” but if you want the valid deal all you need do is check out Joan Crawford versus Bette Davis. By all accounts sworn enemies in valid life, “Baby Jane” finally brought the two powerhouses together for a knock down, coast out fight of legend proportions in a movie that is so utterly insane it really does defy description. Every thing I will write about the film below won’t do it justice. I imagine this movie is a lot like the Taj Mahal or the Mountainous Canyon–you can gape at pictures and say “Wow! That looks unbelievable,” but a two dimensional photographic image won’t give you the beefy carry out. You’ve got to go there to savor such natural wonders, and you’ll have to rent or remove this DVD to relish the wonder of Bette Davis on autocamp as a broken-down child star grown up into, well, read on and recognize.
Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) had it all when she was a child. A hit song insured that sizable audiences turned out to behold her construct on the stage. Unfortunately, dinky Jane suffered from an ego the approximate size of Wyoming, an ego that resulted in temper tantrums with her parents and her sister Blanche (Joan Crawford) . Eventually her raging sense of self torpedoed her career even as her sister’s began to coast when the film industry blossomed. Jane Hudson sank into obscurity, liquor, cigarettes, and a unsightly case of mental illness that greatly accelerated when a tragic accident attach Blanche in a wheelchair for life. Now the two sisters live together in a decrepit house reminiscing about the conventional days. Well, at least Blanche reminisces. Jane Hudson spends her time stalking around the house in pancake makeup and a gossamer gown now tattered and spattered, spewing sarcasm and veiled threats at her sister, the neighbors, and the maid who arrives once a week to witness how things are going. Hudson unruffled thinks it’s possible to resurrect her long uninteresting celebrity if only she can figure out a diagram to rid herself of the onerous burden that is Blanche. Obviously, she finds a design. She begins tormenting her sister by placing disgusting things in her food and making her sound crazy to outsiders. When that fails to work rapid enough, she resorts to out and out physical violence.
With Blanche under lock and key in a bedroom upstairs, Jane begins the rigorous training all performers undertake to return to greatness. She hires a down and out musician by the name of Edwin Flagg (Victor Buono) to descend by the house for instruct and dance lessons. Now the sincere insanity starts as Hudson quickly devolves help into her childhood persona. She prances about the house singing her faded musical numbers, giving it her all without realizing how incredibly grotesque the notion of an elderly woman imitating a child is. Flagg thinks Jane is crackers, and he’s upright more than he could possibly know, but a paycheck is a paycheck. Until he finds out what is going on in a bedroom upstairs, that is. Faced with the distasteful presence of the local constabulary and the probability of a lot of probing questions about what’s been going on between the two sisters, Hudson packs Blanche in the car for a trail to the beach. I won’t spoil the conclusion of this cult classic for you, but let’s honest say a startling revelation at the seashore proves to be the straw that finally pushes dreadful Jane Hudson over the edge. The denouement is upsetting, the sort of ending that has you putting your hand to your mouth in a “oh my” gesture.
“Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? ” is a masterpiece of casting, directing, and performing. The thought of putting these two lionesses of the silver cloak in the same represent was a stroke of genius on the portion of director Robert Aldrich, although many questioned his sanity for making such a decision. Wouldn’t the two actresses wander each other apart on state? Apparently not, but there were a few confrontations–including a thrown serve and some actual kicks delivered in a obvious scene–and sniping that hinted at the turmoil unbiased under the surface. Aldrich moved forward, crafting a film that is both claustrophobic in its spot pieces and one that uses the shaded and white photography to gargantuan advantage. The film really succeeds, however, because of Bette Davis. She blows Joan Crawford out of the water in this movie, although to be beautiful Davis from the begin had the meatier role. Her garish appearance and screeching content whisper the chills to the nth degree, and her progressive decline into total insanity is unsightly and absolutely convincing. Davis was nominated for an Academy Award for her disturbing portrayal of Jane Hudson, and rightfully so. She should have won. I’ve seen hundreds if not thousands of anxiety films, and Davis’s Jane Hudson ranks as one of the most disturbing characters I have witnessed in any of them.
Sadly, the DVD doesn’t give us worthy in the contrivance of extras aside from cast and crew biographies and a few pages of text describing the production. Then again, it’s unlikely we would hear about the movie from the valuable figures alive to in its production since they are all long boring. Perhaps a commentary track with a film historian or a similar person could have been attach on the disc; I know of other films that do this. Anyway, if you haven’t seen this film you’ve got to race, not trail, to accept a copy. It’s that estimable, it’s that disturbing, and it’s that memorable.
