Two icons from the golden age of Hollywood, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, take their famous feud onscreen in Robert Aldrich's newly restored thriller. In fierce, no-holds-barred performances, Bette Davis portrays aging ex-child star Baby Jane Hudson while Joan Crawford plays Blanche, the crippled sister Jane torments psychologically. As the sisters descend into madness, the tension builds to a shocking ending in this unforgettable Academy Award®-winning** classic. (Warner Home Video)
