A bitter sweet comment by poor long suffering “Aunt Jane”. Awesome performance by Bette Davies, I still remember it from childhood thirty years back. Cringeworthy repressed impulses, that seemed so unfair for the crusty wallflower who blossomed into a well groomed woman (meant that as compliment to her acting) and that evil old hag mother .....made the old tv set seem real. I remember screaming at the old bitch mother, and grandparents calmed me down with milk tray chocolate. Just shows films get into the psyche.
