WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?
January 12, 2013  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
TCM’s prime-time lineup tonight is a double feature devoted to sibling rivalry, and it’s serving up an entrée that’s as singular as rat on a silver platter. They say revenge is a dish best served cold – but in this 1962 grand guignol thriller (every bit as grand as it is guignol), Bette Davis plays a vengeful sibling who serves her invalid sister, played by Joan Crawford, a vermin that’s not only hot, but served in a covered silver dish. This movie really, really creeped me out when I saw it as a kid, at a drive-in movie – and hasn’t stopped since. Thanks, Dad. Really.
