Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Jul 11, 2001
Pros: still chilling after all these years; superior performances by Davis and Crawford
Cons: They don't make them like this anymore
Summary: 'What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?' was released by Warner Brothers in 1962. In the late seventies, a local television station used to run Friday night horror flicks for night owls and this was just one of many films I saw. Even more than a ... read more

Pros: Bette Davis, Joan Crawford; Bette Davis AND Joan Crawford
Cons: None: Any flaws are greatly overshadowed by the end result
Summary: Think that The Hitcher and Misery spawned some of the movies’ ultimate psychopaths and lowest in dirty tricks? Well they probably learned a few of these tricks from good old Baby Jane and this tense 1960’s black and white classic. I’d ... read more

Pros: Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, acting, plot, suspense, & filming.
Cons: nothing really
Summary: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962) is by far one of the best dramas ever filmed. I simply happened to view this because of the star power it had in it. Having read in the past about the huge ego both Joan Crawford and Bette Davis had in their real ... read more

Pros: Good performances from two "washed-up" divas
Cons: A little long, some pacing problems, cheesy secondary characters
Summary: If you're wondering if you'll like "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" there are a few ways to tell. First, did you like "Misery," the 1990 Stephen King flick that had Kathy Bates imprisoning James Caan after a car accident? Second, did you like "Sunset ... read more

Pros: Davis and Crawford at their very best. Great story, great look.
Cons: None.
Summary: The main reason that drew me to watching this 30-year-old classic is the same that made it a mega-hit in 1962, the chance to watch two legendary movie stars act opposite each other for the first and only time. Crawford and Davis were huge box-office ... read more

Pros: Fabulous story and performance by Davis.
Cons: None

Pros: Starred Davis and Crawford, two excellent actresses.
Cons: Nothing could make me watch this movie again.
Summary: I'm sorry, I thought this film was a vile experience with utterly no redeeming value and an insult to these two great actresses. The lurid, repetitive, uncomfortably indulgent cinematography and the awful script totally dominate the only watchable thing: ... read more

Pros: stellar cast; great acting
Cons: kinda campy, but in a good way!
Summary: In the halcyon days before V-chips were even needed, I watched this movie time and time again....I loved it! Why my mother allowed me watch it, I may never know...but, boy, am I glad she did! I'm not sure what it was that appealed to me, because I'm ... read more

Pros: Edge of the seat Suspense!
Cons: very few scenes predictable
Summary: This movie was on last night while my husband and I were enjoying some late-night coffee. I had never seen this before - but WOW! Talk about a suspense-thriller! Bette Davis provides a remarkable performance as the insanely jealous Jane Hudson, once ... read more

We had to analyze this movie in college (years ago) and it was a true psychological terror voted by the whole class.
The twists and turns of Davis ... read more

Pros: originality, characters, cast, wicked script
Cons: cruelty, campiness
Summary: "Baby Jane" is a wicked comedy and thriller starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. It is a good film, full of suspense and humor. It is probably the most important film that either star made after 1960, as its success led to a series of older ... read more
