    This movie works because inside every late middle aged person, who feels that life has not sufficiently rewarded them for their talent and work, has a little bit of Baby Jane inside them...

      I completely agree with that. Honestly idt they hated each other I think Joan Crawford noticed Bette Davis was taking roles and Joan had a complex about getting older and being in front of the camera. On the other hand , Bette Davis was taking roles left and right when she could. The Witch mountain movies and on to a little bitty roles in the early 80's.

    This scene is a testament to Bette Davis' skills. Even though it's clear that Jane is crazy and vengeful, this scene is heartbreaking because you're seeing a woman who has never really been allowed to grow up, has only taken comfort from the fantasies of returning to stage and is now realizing that those days are long past but has no idea how to move forward.
    Joan Crawford is delightful in this movie too (especially when she realizes what's going on) but Bette Davis shines here.

    When I saw this as a fourth grader in the fall of 1962, Bette Davis scared the crap out of me! I'd no idea she'd once been a "big fat movie stah" and a romantic lead. Her make-up and performance were just incredible. And what a performance! Though I liked Anne Bancroft in The Miracle Worker, she played the part dozens of times on Broadway. Bette had just one chance, and look at what she created! Could any contemporary actress play a role like Jane? Maybe Bette Midler, but I can't see anyone else in the part.

I saw it by accident on t.v. about 1964 after a commercial advertised it was to be shown. Without that commercial I doubt I would have seen it and had to wait for 10 or 15 years or more.

    We're all supposed to be sympathetic to Blanche. But are we? Nooooooooo! Davis is so magnificent in this that she somehow manages to create sympathy and even a kind of admiration for her gutsiness. Also, what nobody seems to notice is that Jane is also in a horrible position, just as trapped as Blanche, at the beck and call of this duplicitous woman who actually put HERSELF in the wheelchair trying to kill her sister. It's a weird dynamic and probably the archetype for all sisterly relationships.

      Both Actresses are Great in their roles, Davis Particulary Compensated Her Uglyness With Such Talent.
      In fact, I Don't Want to watch The Thing Ryan Murphy is Planning to do With This movie, 'Cause Susan Sarandon Won't be able to equal Bette Davis' Talent.

    I love 2:36-3:01 when Jane realizes that those days of being Mamma's little angel are over and gone. Her scream symbolizes her last grip of reality, when she realizes that there will be no comeback for Baby Jane. This is one of the few times I actually feel sorry for her.

    no one ever in the history of cinema has ever or has yet to give crazy, chilling performances like Bette Davis. when she played mentally unstable characters, she did it so the fullest extent and highest level. I watched What Happened to Baby Jane for the first time when I was like 11 years old & this scene scarred me for life. Joan was very good in this movie also but this movie belonged to Bette. She shined and acted her ass off. Her acting here is so spine chilling, she was just an acting BEAST! Rest In Peace to the one and only.

    I remember watching Feud: Bette and Joan. There’s a part where Bette is sitting down and watching a screening of this scene in the projector room. She begins to tear up and cry as she watches herself breakdown and lose it here. I’ve always wondered why. Is it because she didn’t imagine this kind of crazy role for herself in her lifetime? This performance got to her very emotionally, at least that’s what the show portrayed....😢

    • @Veachie
      @Veachie 2 роки тому +5

      I’m pretty sure Bette was crying the same reason why Joan did, and why Baby Jane cries in this scene. She’s realized how old she really is and looks. She is able to play Baby Jane so well because they both have the same concerns and fears of getting old and undesirable.
