Movie Summary: Two aging film actresses live as virtual recluses in an old Hollywood mansion. Jane Hudson, a successful child star, cares for her crippled sister Blanche, whose career in later years eclipsed that of Jane. Now the two live together, their relationship affected by simmering subconscious thoughts of mutual envy, hate and revenge.
Queer Film LA Says: The real-life rivalry between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, subject of the first season of Ryan Murphy's "Feud," culminated in the production of this camp classic about two aging, revenge-obsessed actresses sharing a mansion in Hollywood.
