Viewing Notes

Hard to believe I’d never seen this film before. It was great to watch to veteran, bonafide Hollywood stars completely skewer their personas and Hollywood along with it so thoroughly. Both Crawford and Davis are awesome, but the film clearly belongs to Davis who does an amazing job portraying an unhinged, spiteful former child actor to such chilling effect.
