The divine feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford reached its artistic height in this flamboyant slice of grand guignol which earned Davis her eleventh and final Best Actress Oscar nomination. A former child star, Baby Jane now plays caretaker to younger sister Blanche who is confined to a wheelchair. Years of resentment and sibling rivalry lead to a vicious campaign of recrimination as Jane decides it’s payback time. This is a creepy, unsettling chiller with a fearless Davis performance that blends heartrending pathos with high camp grotesque.
This screening will be introduced by Helen Wright who leads the Lock Up Your Daughters Filmmaking Group.
This screening will be preceded by the short film “When Lucy met Norma” which the group produced as their entry into the 48hr Film Project.
