Seriously? A little more research would have told you that the director’s name was Robert ALDRICH.

Look up Bette Davis in 1961 and she looks nothing whatsoever like the Sarandon/Murphy take. By that time, Bette Davis looked quite matronly. Sarandon or Murphy inexplicably seem to have decided to play Davis 10 years younger and as her Margo Channing character from “All About Eve” rather than as the older, up-do Bette Davis who was cast in “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane”. This decision to “de-age” the Davis character makes Murphy’s “Feud” guilty of the exact same sexist, ageist crimes that the project is allegedly standing against.

Furthermore, playing Davis as if she was her character in “All About Eve” making “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane” is as weird as making a movie about the production of “Saving Private Ryan” and playing Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump.

What. Was. Ryan. Thinking.
