Dr Lucy Bolton on Davis vs Crawford, the ”crazy old lady trope” and the legacy of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane

The Garden Cinema Film Talk

Join us in the Garden Cinema Den for our post-film chat.

Following our screening of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane, as part of our Hollywood on Hollywood season, we all huddled around a drink in the den to chat about the film and listen to Dr Lucy Bolton share with us the gossip, highlights from and insights into the shoot. We chatted about the film's "useless" men, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis's legendary rivalry, the former's star power, the latter's dedication to her craft, and everything from Oscar shenanigans to the evolution in women's representation on screen.

We've recorded this discussion for everyone to enjoy remotely, from home or on their commute.
