clip 1 - "The Haircut"
This is a clip from the 1990/1991 television film, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? starring real-life sisters Lynn & Vanessa Redgrave. It has been mostly forgotten due to the many negative comparisons of it to the original film starring Bette Davis & Joan Crawford. This film was not just a remake, but a retelling of the story. The emotions and events are very different and I believe this film is as great as the original. Lynn Redgrave's portrayal of Jane Hudson is phenomenal, as you will see from these clips. I wanted to post these in memory of her - she just passed away this week and there was nothing here on RUclips of her great performance as Baby Jane Hudson. RIP Lynn.......8 March 1943 2 May 2010
To see Jane and Blanche laughing at the same time puts me emotional.
No comparison......Bette Davis cannot be topped...she is the greatest actress in the history of the cinema...period!!!
That's your opinion as a fan. As someone who isn't a fan of Davis/Crawford and the Redgrave sisters, I think the Redgrave sisters did a better job than the first two.
I love that the Hudson sisters are played by real-life sisters! Both Vanessa and Lynn are amazing!
I liked BOTH versions! Appreciating them both is so much a better experience than opting out in cultish support of one over the other. Clearly there's more than one way to deservingly portray a WINNING STORY in film! Crawford's and Davis's mutual HATE captivates the audience, via blunt force trauma of their acting abilities. The Redgraves' egoless LOVE of acting shines through refreshingly in their brilliant performances. Hate or love, trained actors use their energies to better the larger work.
It's a different take on the same material, that's all. That's like saying no one should've ever made a movie of 'Hamlet' after Lawrence Olivier. Get a frikkin' grip. I don't understand the immature need to relegate everything to a competition. Not everything is based on dividing them into opposing teams.
the Lazy Town star in 40 yrs LOL
thanks for postin this. man this movie creeped the hell outta me
Betties makeup might've looked like that, But we wouldn't have been able to tell because it was in black and white lol
Oh I saw it when it was colorized and it was worse than this
the two versions are indeed very different and can be enjoyed on different levels of tragedy----you last sentence especially defines this movie very well. I think you feel the tragedy here more as the characters are more sympathtic and drawn with lighter brush strokes.
Great scene, I've seen the original 1962 movie in fact I have the dvd and it's a classic but this 1991 tv movie is wonderful too
Glenn Close as Baby Jane
Meryl Streep as Blanche
I"d have to agree with you. The acting is more realistic--and Vanessa is her usual radient self--such a fine actress. Do people try to unfairly compare it to the older one?
@MartiniShelby EXACTLY! The depth of emotion in this version is what makes this my favorite. Yes, the original worked very well as a horror film. It's very dark and twisted. And the knowledge of the HATE between Davis & Crawford adds to the tension. But the Redgrave sisters ARE these characters for this film. They are so much more believable and natural, due to the emotion they put into it.
anybody remember the episode 'Baby Doll' from Batman the Animated series, the episode itself was partially inspired by the movie!
skeaneable that was an amazing episode. I never did see the connection until you mentioned it. As I recall, baby doll I had a follow up episode where she romanced Killer Croc
Never heard about this. Looks interesting. I doubt I'd ever like this remotely as much as the original but I'll definitely check it out.
Jesus christ this movie looks horrifying
This version can't compare with the original masterpiece, this looks and sounds like a film you would watch on daytime tv! the fact that's suposed to be a terror film this one doesn't acheive one bit of the sense.
you obviously didn't see this movie completely. It was a movie made for tv.
Nope! This is not a patch on the original. This isn't dark enough. It's too nice.
You could post the whole film, but thanks for this anyway.
upload full movie please
Baby Jane looks like my neighbor.
At least she did not give her sister one of those Magdalene Sisters haircuts.
Thanks for posting this-Ive heard of this but never saw it. And the Redgrave sisters are always terrific.
hey, thanks u soo much for uploadig these short clips.. but we would appreciate it soo much if you could uplaod the full movie..
Many thanks in advance.
BETTE DAVIS AND JANE CRAWFORD WERE THE BEST BABY JANE
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Loved the Redgrave sisters since I was child.
I love this version and I have been trying to buy it. Can you please advise of the actual title of this version? Thanks, in advance.
I felt like they took the wrong parts. Vanessa's persona is more volatile and nearer to madness, while Lynn seems more passive and conventional
I loved this version better than the original, its so much more tragic, and better acted in my opinion
Halloweenville The real version was with two greatest Hollywood legends, Betty Davis and Joan Crawford, their were the matriarchs of professional acting.
robertino yanzanny- Bette Davis, not Betty davis. :)
Problem is these two people are just TOO NICE to play these parts. Crawford was a rotten person in many respects and Davis wasn't much better in certain aspects of her life. That's what made the chemistry so good. I can understand Lynn and Vanessa Redgrave wanting to play the parts because their sisters in real life just like the characters. But Lynn was to gentle a person to play such a mixed up person. The ending to this version is disturbing however.
I totally disagree. Lynn did GREAT as Baby Jane. No need to compare her work to Bette Davis. r.i.p. both ladies.
why is this NOT! on netflixs instant play ???
Vanessa and Lynn ♥️♥️♥️
Cool casting. This version was not that bad.
As such, in the original, I end up sympathizing with Crawford's Blanche more, even if she is guilty of attempted murder. In the remake, I actually did sympathize with Redgrave's Jane more.
somehow this is more macob than the original I Can't Take My Eyes Off s remake I saw it in the 90s and I was a kid and I had nightmares for a week
Michael Sean Foster It was the make up they used on Betty Davis, I won't doubt Stephen King twisted that whole plot and converted into Misery. I can say, Betty Davis, Joan Crawford and Kathy Bates are serious actors, they won Oscars.
Macob??????????????? How about macabre?
One word:
...WHY?!
the 1962 one is much better but this is o-k
Fantastic clip! THank you very much fro posting this! On a side note, I've been looking for a copy of this tv movie for ages, would you happe to know where I could download one? Thank you! :)
Filming must have been so fun for them.
the youtube commment section is ruined
@jdoesmith85210 I believe it was remade by the son of the original director. It features real-life sisters, as well as setting the story in modern day AND in color, which is welcome to younger viewers. I think the psychological development of the characters is much greater as well in this version. I think of it much more as a revisioning, instead of a flat-out remake.
would you upload the whole movie in its entirety? I would like to see it....thank you!!
This remake was actually really good.
I agree. It's actually far more harrowing than the original.
+algoyo This damn movie freaked me out when I was like 13 years old. It still sticks in my head, as a bizarre thing, that can exist.
@algoyo your a bit of an idiot to think this was better then the original I can tell your a child cause you clearly don't know the difference between great acting n shitty acting the classics are clearly over your head this would never be better then the original the original had 2 sisters that really hated eachother in real life n in the movie but you probably didn't even know that
It's as if baby Jane herself wrote this asinine comment.
Lol. Don't blow your prostate! I also love Aldrich's version. Lecturing me on the content of both films and Farrell's wonderfully dark novel is a bit rich coming from someone whose spinal cord obviously never reached their brain. Are you on pills for your nerves or something?
@belasco, Yes the film was released on DVD by an independent company. It can be found through Amazon or eBay if you dig for awhile.
Look folks. The whole reason to watch a movie like "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" is to see two actresses battle it out in a Grand Guignol frightfest. No offense to those who like the "complex sister relationship" but if I want to watch that, I'll tune in to Dr. Phil! Come on! Bette and Joan are fantastic. Let's remake "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" with real life cousins.....Yuck.
I WANT to like this one. I can see, through the acting, that potentially this would have more depth and be more fun to explore HOWEVER and I say this as a Brit, the American accents are AWESOME. I'm shocked. I mean, why not just make them British sisters, I find Vanessa Redgrave's American accent particularly distracting. Awful accents. The fact she looked in the mirror accidently before pretending to see her hair for 'the first time' was another blunder.
I do think this version has a more "natural" flow and is far more believable than the 62 version. Each version; however, brings a different perspective and point of view. Bette and Joan were more macabre. These two are more natural and you see the evolution and purpose behind their relationship more clearly
You have got to be kidding! American acting sure wins out this time! Bigtime!
I wish I could. The DVD is available on Amazon and eBay. I do not have the software needed to rip it from a DVD and post it here. There are lots of people out there that do. Maybe someone will get the DVD and post it, or better yet, another company will get the rights to the film and make the DVD more easily obtained!
Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges. Is the tele-movie available in it's entirety? I remember seeing it when it originally aired and being disappointed because I was expecting just a retread of the old movie (which I love). But seeing this clip makes me appreciate the movie on it's own merits and makes me want to see the whole thing.
i. wonder. if. they have this movie. on. d. v. d. i would love to have it joey. g
I think if Jane's makeup were not ridiculous... it could've been better xD
@sugarshula64
you can get the dvd on ebay for like 18 dollars. and 27 on amazon
Wish someone would upload this damn movie somewhere....dying to see it!!!!!!
I'm usually the 1st to shout out about re-makes of 'classics',but on this occasion I'd have to say that this does not come across as being a re-make in the usual sense. The Redgraves aren't particularly my favourite acting family,I happen to think they're all somewhat over-rated,but that's just me.However,in this coupling of Lynne & Vanessa I believe they 'acted their socks' off.Their often fiery relationship in 'real life' is evident in this film,which just adds to it's quality!
they should always leave the classics alone- why try to redo a master piece?
@Grinnygog1975 The choice of adapting the story to the present-day and in the medium of color film is indeed admirable, but to retain Davis' trademark thin-as-pancake make-up for Baby Jane's character is what keeps putting me off. Indeed the relationship, the intimacy, and the depth is explored quite well, and Vanessa's Blanche even bares some fangs in this scene (which can either upset the "surprise" twist revelation or perhaps build up to it, I haven't seen this version in its entirety).
I see the good acting, but this version lacks one thing as compared with the Crawford/Davis version - you don't buy the background knowledge about the two leads being enemies as part of the story, because there is no such story to sell. I guess they wanted to capitalize on this being played by real-life sisters but it does not have this "psychobiddy" feel to it that the older version has. At the end of the Davis/Crawford version, though, one of them says "You mean all of this time we could have been friends?" and in retrospective we see how the father poisoned the relationship of the sisters by exclusively focusing on Jane and dramatizing their "Daddy's darling" relationship on stage. And how the mother compounded it by suggesting that one day Blanche's time would come, which Blanche then used for payback. This version actually makes it believable that there is genuine affection between the sisters; we do not see anything of that in the Crawford/Davis version which I think was in many ways an exploitation piece.
Where can I buy this movie? This version, 1991.
I want it too!! Can't find the title of this version anywhere been looking for years :((
Simply abysmal remake some things should never be touched again!
Lynn had a better American accent than Vanessa.
this "remake" is god awful, period, saw it when it first came out, frankly, should have been left on the "cutting room floor." If the Redgrave sisters were so eager to work together, they could have done something way better than this.
I agree Gregg this was shit n couldn't hold a candle to the original it was an embarrassment knocking off a classic there both shit in this n don't even have the same hate for each other like the original which made the original perfect
I agree with you to a point, however, I really don't believe Davis and Crawford HATED each other, as claimed by others, most of that is just plain shit, brought forward by each respective's gay fan bases.
I didn't know there was a remake. Looks pretty bad..
i did not know they did a remake in the 90's
The Redgrave sisters are wonderful, BUT, they aren't Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, that's for sure.....
Ok, this looks bad.
In the original, the acting felt real due to the feud between Bette and Joan and they are both excellent well-known actresses.
Here, I see none of that and we don't know who's the actresses.
So it is better to win the Oscar-nominated original instead of this.
You might want to actually google who these actresses are before commenting. Vanessa Redgrave has been nominated for six Academy Awards and won one. Lynn Redgrave was nominated for two Academy Awards before her death in 2010.
OMG, you need to google the Redgrave sisters. FYI, they are LEGENDS. Their careers have been excellent, and they both won lots of awards and have been nomimated for the most important awards in the cinema industry.
This film was 😞
Film stunk!
This is terrible. Leave the original at that. Please!
Lol this is ridiculous.
this movie must have bette davis turning n her grave
This is so bad...
Why do British actors have to ruin a great movie by trying to recreate it these actresses were awful
This is horrible :(
The 1960s nostalgia and drag queen approach didn't work. Very dull.
This is horrible
Horrible
