Feature: “What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?” at the Art Theatre of Long Beach

Weeks back, on May 31, the FilmWeek team made their way to the Art Theatre of Long Beach to host a screening of the 1962 Robert Aldrich film What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? Following a screening of the film, Larry got up on stage for a conversation with FilmWeek and LA Times critic Amy Nicholson, and UCLA film historian Jonathan Kuntz. They spoke about the cult following the film garnered, how it revitalized the careers of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, and a lot more. This week on the program, we’re airing our live conversation with Amy Nicholson and Jonathan Kuntz on this Oscar-winning, camp classic.
