ALL GOOD THINGS

Talking about movies, movies, movies. I believe movies are one of the best pleasures in life. Nothing better than watching a classic film and talking with others about them. Love the classics the most but will also talk about the newer stuff too. And covering all genres: comedy, action, horror, sci-fi, drama, musicals, etc. Will also discuss TV shows, more of the classics, but occasionally the newer stuff too. And anything else that might be on my mind. Feel free to drop by and have a chat.

Classic Horror Films - Day 13 (WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE - 1962)

In a decaying Hollywood mansion, Jane Hudson, a former child star, and her sister Blanche, a movie queen forced into retirement after a crippling accident, live in virtual isolation. The long awaited pairing between rivals Bette Davis and Joan Crawford does not disappoint. While Bette has the showier part as Jane, Joan is quite good in her subdued performance as the long suffering Blanche. A classic film with two film legends. Just sit back and enjoy the fireworks.
