Friday Night At The Movies invites you to…Summer Camp!
For season four of our outdoor movie series, help us celebrate 100-years of The Loring Greenough House being saved from demolition by the all-women Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club in 1924, with an all-star line-up of high-camp films featuring all female or female presenting leads.
October 11 - Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
Hollywood’s grand dames Bette Davis and Joan Crawford went head to head both on screen and in real life as they redefined sick sibling rivalry in this black and white, high-camp, horror-classic from 1962, based on the 1960s novel of the same name. The once famous actresses are ageing alone together in their decaying, dimly lit Los Angeles mansion, with the sadistic and delusional former child star ‘Baby Jane’ playing psychological games on her now paraplegic sister. It invented the ‘psycho-biddy’ genre, with ‘Baby Jane’ now a by-word for ‘deranged showbiz crone’.
No official rating (ooo-errr), but probably R.
All films will contain English subtitles for the hard of hearing.
The 2024 season of Friday Night at the Movies is sponsored by our friends at Ellen+Janis @ Denman Drapkin Group!
