Review

this one stars bette davis, but is really more about joan crawford than davis. like jcvd it’s about a washed-up film star who finds herself in some trouble. davis is great here as always. it reminded me not only of jcvd which i just saw, but also of sunset blvd which is better than this film, but a bit overrated too. sterling hayden plays a ron kirby (hudson in all that heaven allows) type of guy who helps davis out in her time of need. she’s in complete denial about her career and thinks that her career is all that she has. it’s a good film, but even a bad film about the show biz is at least somewhat interesting.
