60TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING
Capitalizing on the decades long rivalry between the two stars, director Robert Aldrich crafts a psychologically fraught horror film that opened the floodgates for older actresses to reveal, and revel in, their dark sides. Playing the child star of the title, Bette Davis unleashed her inner Medusa, and Crawford is her ideal foil as the wheelchair bound sister Blanche. The gloves are off, the claws are sharpened, and hair (and blood) will fly in this, the culminating battle between two actresses whose loathing for each other knew no bounds.
