Never let anybody tell you that Hollywood didn’t make shocking cinema between the Hays Code and the rise of the auteur — What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? has all the hallmarks of the gut-punch ur-exploitation movies the world grew to love and it’s older than almost any of them. Bette Davis plays the titular child star, a Shirley Temple type who’s a spoiled bully backstage, locked in a lifelong spiral of control and abuse with her more talented sister Blanche (Joan Crawford). Tinseltown history is awash in stories about how much they hated each other in real life, but whatever the truth is, the poison on the screen is transfixing. The fighting! Her makeup! Those meals! That staircase! Your inability to get Mommie Dearest out of your head! Come watch What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and leave as wrung out and breathless as ever.
