CALL ME BETTE:
Thanks to a kind friend i just got hold of the dvd reissue of ‘Whatever happend to baby Jane’ i love this movie, it makes me remember the first time i saw it at my friend Donna’s place, i was fresh out of the closet and her flatmate ‘Dee Dee’ decided i needed a little cinematic education, so we hunkered down for an afternoon of camp mayhem as i watched with eyes like saucers as Joan Crawford spun out of control in a wheelchair, and Bette Davis served Joan up rat on a silver platter .. many years later i was amazed to see Dee Dee arrive at a huge party in a wheelchair dressed up as Joan complete with silver platter and rat in her lap! the best thing about this dvd is the bonus feature of Bette Davis singing the theme song from the movie on the Andy Williams show in the early 1960’s
