Sibling rivalry is taken to hideous extremes by two elderly sisters (Bette Davis, pictured right, and Joan Crawford, left).

The plot takes too long to get going and runs out of steam long before the actresses do - but there are quite a few scary moments, and it’s great, campy fun with both stars leaving teeth-marks on the scenery. Ernest Haller’s stylish cinematography rightly won him an Oscar nomination.

“Working with (Bette) Davis was my greatest challenge ever, and I mean that kindly. Bette likes to scream and yell and I just sit and knit. During Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? I knitted a scarf from Hollywood to Malibu.”

“The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? ”
