Bette Davis and Joan Crawford star as two sisters, Jane and Blanche, with a deeply troubled relationship. Davis was once the popular child star “Baby Jane” Hudson, while Crawford is a former Hollywood star who, we learn, lost the use of her legs in an accident. Jane is increasingly unhinged and begins holding Blanche prisoner in their shared house.
Directed Robert Aldrich nicely ramps up the tension, turning a bizarre situation into a terrifying one. It's difficult to predict how the film can be resolved, but the ending is hugely satisfying.
