Well, I finally got to watch this movie after many years of putting it off for some reason.
Joan Crawford's performance is really great especially when she's trapped in the closet. Very suspenseful part of the movie.
Jack Palance is good also but, and I hate to say it, I had a hard time looking at him, especially in profile. In profile he had a chin that reminded me of Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch in The Wizard Of Oz. Sorry Jack.
The plot made no sense to me. She finds out that her husband and his girlfriend are planning to murder her and instead of going to the police or telling friends, she decides to plot to murder her husband and have the girlfriend take the blame....WHY BOTHER? ! Just go to the police ,girl!
And it's amazing to me how well she can run for her life in high heels.
Also, she gets all dolled up, fancy dress, bracelet, mink coat to commit a murder. How classy of her. How movie magic, but then that's how things were back then and of course no one wanted to see Joan looking bad, at least not until Baby Jane came along🙂
She also makes some stupid mistakes but what can I say?
Still, if you can get past the "makes no sense " of the film, you'll probably enjoy it ...especially for Crawford's acting.
