WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?
March 2, 2017  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 11:00 p.m. ET

 

This is another W movie showing up alphabetically in TCM’s Oscar salute tonight – but the timing of this particular showing couldn’t be more fortuitous. This 1962 cult horror film starred two legendary actresses, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford (pictured) – and on Sunday, FX launches a new anthology miniseries, Feud, that begins with a multi-part dramatization called Bette and Joan, recreating the behind-the-scenes battles in making What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? This Feud miniseries, starring Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis and Jessica Lange as Joan Crawford, is deliciously acted and is great fun – and what better way to prepare for it than by familiarizing yourself, again or anew, with this over-the-top low-budget psychological horror film? And record it – because as Feud: Bette and Joan unspools in the coming weeks, you’ll want to keep referring back to it.
