For this particular review, I have chosen to render my critique - in description of this timeless masterpiece - with a word from each letter of its title: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

An opus of epic proportions, the tour de force performances in this cinematic icon relay what is:

Warped. Hellish. Atrocious. Tumultuous.

Evil. Vile. Envious. Ruthless.

Hostile. Abhorrent. Perverse. Paranoid. Enraged. Nightmarish. Erroneous. Depraved.

Terrifying. Ominous.

Brutal. Apprehensive. Backstabbing. Yucky.

Jealousy. Abominable. Nefarious. Egotistical.

...And there you have it, folks. A single word from every letter of the title to describe the ice-cold spirit of the one and ONLY What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

This Robert Aldrich-directed, old era silver screen jewel is a phenomenal feature of cinematic art, and a legendary masterwork of prestige. Superb performances by the real-life archenemies, Davis and Crawford. Absolutely superb!

Way beyond worthy of its 5 of 5 stars rating.
