B B. @betbro Apr 14 A go to for classic psychological horror and repeated trope in subsequent films. Betty Davis and Joan Crawford unmatched talent.

Without a doubt, this is the most macabre sister story I've ever seen. Bette Davis, along with Joan Crawford, mesmerizes the viewer from beginning to end. You can't consider Jane a disturbed woman without first considering how influenced she is by her sister Blanche's thirst for revenge. And Blanche isn't simply a victim; she also generates guilt. In the end, I concluded that both women were victims of their desire to stand out... I wish they hadn't so desperately sought acceptance in an industry where expectations change so rapidly. At times, I wanted more plot twists, but I realized that this story aims to create a sense of ambivalence between who is guilty and who you feel sorry for... in any case, this bitterness was enough to enjoy the film until the very end. Jane dancing in the final scene immortalizes everything. See more Teddy B @RT90521672 Jan 27 This film is a case similar to 'The Exorcist', in my opinion. A wonderful novel perfectly fit for a movie, placed in the hands of a talented director, performed by actors in their A-grade, shot beautifully and breezily paced, with their own merits towards either the history of their actors or on movies themselves. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford make this movie, especially Bette Davis. Her ability to disappear into this role, her willingness to transform herself completely into this complicated villain in Baby Jane Hudson as she did nearly thirty years earlier with Mildred in 'Of Human Bondage', is commendable above all else and a true testament to her talent.
