A former vaudeville child star (Bette Davis) torments her paraplegic sister (Joan Crawford), who eclipsed her as a movie star, in their decaying Hollywood mansion while desperately clinging to hopes of a comeback.

I’ve just discovered your podcast and am enjoying your discussion about the various chosen films. In this particular film, I was surprised that the hosts did not realize (during the showing of old film reels of Jane’s adult performances the studio executives were watching) the director of the movie was using actual film clips from actress Bette Davis’s films.
