Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford star in a tense psychological drama between two sisters, one a former child star and the other a crippled ex-silent star, who are bound together in hate and fear.
Amazon.com
For the 50th-anniversary Blu-ray edition of Robert Aldrich's 1962 hit, the extras from the two-disc special-edition DVD are imported intact: documentary featurettes that sketch Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, commentary by drag specialists Charles Busch and John Epperson, Davis's wacky-campy appearance on The Andy Williams Show. Added to the package is a collection of alternate language tracks (including a beefed-up English-language soundtrack, but also Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese) and more subtitles--and, of course, the whole thing fits onto a single disc rather than two. A new booklet provides some handsomely designed background. The most important issue is the Blu-ray presentation of the picture and sound, and this is superb: the image is sharper and slightly darker (rightly so) than the standard DVD, and the visible grain makes it look like you're watching a movie, not a scrubbed-clean digital object. The funhouse craziness of Davis and Crawford deserves no less. --Robert Horton
