Save your money for something good and enjoyable

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

OK so a jealous Crawford, goaded by Hedda Hopper campaigned against Davis for the Best Actress Oscar win that year (my personal favorite was Geraldine Page in Sweet Bird Of Youth, whose Alexandra Del Lago character triumphed in the end). Katharine Hepburn & Lee Remick were also great in their nominated roles, as was the ultimate winner Anne Bancroft (who, if Crawford & Hopper hadn't intervened, would have split the vote with her fellow Broadway New Yorker Page, thus garnering Bette her 3rd Oscar...which she should have won in 1950 for All About Eve!). Baby Jane wouldn't really be a crowning achievement part considering Bancroft's heroic Annie Sullivan persona...WHAT I DON'T GET IS: why weren't Davis, Robert Aldrich and/or Jack Warner tipped off about Crawford's campaign against Davis??? Wouldn't at least one of the Academy members she and Hopper manipulated have a different opinion altogether (whether they were pro-Davis or not?) and get the word out that Davis was being sabotaged??? I know Bette's circle of friends was very small (so why didn't Crawford's alleged popularity among her endless supply of loyal colleagues snag her a nom in the first place? Plus, scene for scene, Bette was the lead and Joan on the fringe of being a supporting player!). Why was Davis (alongside Aldrich & Warner, I'm sure) so blindsided that fateful Oscar night? I wouldn't have trusted Crawford or Hopper whatsoever once the nominations were announced! Plus, the two diva's engaged in a brutal verbal battle over the awards on the set of Baby Jane long before production was completed! I know Bette got her revenge in the end by replacing Joan with her one true BFF Olivia de Havilland in Sweet Charlotte 2yrs later, and embarked on a much better successful post-JANE hagsploitation era in The Nanny and Dead Ringer, plus her critically acclaimed final film in 1987 entitled The Whales of August! I knew about the Academy sabotage before watching that truly excellent episode of FEUD...I'm just wondering why with all the stars Crawford aligned herself with, that Bette & Co. were never aware of her backstage dealings until the big moment? Was she that sure she was going to win? That sort of bitchery would never go unnoticed in today's awards ceremonies! Crawford's Mildred Pierce Oscar should have been stripped from her mantle, and she should have been booted from the Academy for life! Her career totally fizzled after JANE, and she was left with TROG as her final crowning achievement! Bitch!

The superb acting by these screen legends bringing to life actresses of a bygone era was the life force of this show. I have always been fascinated by these actresses early and mid 20th Century and hope that more such shows about them. Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon knocked it out of the ball park!

**SPOILERS*** One of my favorite scenes in the show is when Joan realizes that she and Bette could have been friends and how they always fantasized about it. It is so heartbreaking which only goes on to show how PERFECT the acting is on the show. UNBELIEVABLE! ******************************************* I recommend this show to anyone who just loves and adores period dramas or stories about Hollywood or even just great acting. If you get through the first episode trust me you will want to watch the ENTIRE THING IN ONE SITTING! It's just that DAMN GOOD and ADDICTIVE! and hey it's already been nominated for 15 deserving EMMY nominations. So see what I am talking about - even the television academy has recognized the sheer brilliance of this show. Don't hesitate go and watch the show!

Superb. The dream, the wish, the thought. Sitting at a table face to face to say, I'm sorry. Thank you to Ryan Murphy and everyone concerned. Jessica Lange gives a performance that will live for ever, so does Susan Sarandon, in the last episode, her Bette Davis is there, totally, absolutely, chillingly there. What a thrill! Jessica Lange has five or six moments that I think will remain as "acting" landmarks. Alfred Molina's Robert Aldrich, devastating, brilliant! And Jack Warner's Stanley Tucci, a repellent delight. Fabulous eight episodes, eight! Enough to keep us wishing for more.
