"I didn't bring your breakfast, because you didn't eat your din-din!"
"But you *are*, Blanche! You *are* in that chair! " 

A terrifying story of hate and loss in the unusual ways WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE is a brilliant film that I love to watch. The film is old so is in black and white. Some IMDB Trivia (According to Bette Davis in her book "This N' That", the film was originally going to be shot in color. Bette opposed this, saying that it would just make a sad story look pretty. ) Runs for 134mins so is for a persistent audience but defiantly one to buy as Bette Davis plays a truly evil character who even serves up her sisters beloved budgie for diner.
(In her book "This N' That", Bette Davis said she had a lot of control over how her makeup should be done for the film. She imagined the older Jane as someone who would never wash her face, just put on another layer of makeup. When her daughter, Barbara Merrill, first saw her in full "Jane" makeup, she said, "Oh, mother, this time you've gone too far". ) From IMDB Link
I enjoy this film because it has a good storyline with constant shocks from Jane. It includes scenes that contrast from humour to sadness that shows Baby Jane now older still singing as a child believing she can make it again. Things intensify as she gets more violent and sinister with her sister Blanche. With an unbelievable ending that you will not see coming in all your wildest thoughts you must must must see WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE ? Kill curiosity and find out!
