This is such a well crafted movie.

I was too scared to watch it when I was young; that was how good the the trailer and the the talk around this movie was. I also thought it could not live up to Baby Jane.

I adore this movie now. All that melodrama, histrionics and a let's face it, a fine story, are perfectly put together.

It is great to see actors playing against type, a real bonus. Olivia De Havilland plays a blinder.

Bette, ah Bette, plays the lost little girl, the strident harridan and the nervous wreck all in one movie.

A classic movie that entertains and does what all good movies do, takes you into another world.
