Oh well. I guess it is same thing (on a smaller scale) that happened to vampires over the past several years.

I still might rent Mirror, Mirror as I generally like Tarsem's style. Btw, I've been curious to see 'Once Upon a Time' on TV, sounds enchanting but It's really tough for me to get hooked on a TV show lately.

Simon Baker is very charming in this movie, and it's nice to see Blair Underwood playing a jerk, ahah. Yeah I did.

I quite liked Sudden Fear too - not sure (would have to check) but I think that someone who contributes to our series may have written about that film. As for Davis and The Star, my only hope that she had enough self-awareness to be quite tongue in cheek about it. I suspect she had some moxy ;) Thanks for your insight Grand Old Movies and welcome to i luv cinema :) That’s right Come Back, Little Sheba; I liked that film.

It exploits Davis' powerhouse persona and acting genius, while yet seeming to mock her by having her character try out for parts way too young for her. Although the film seems to be a hint/wink about Davis' career, supposedly the screenwriters actually based the main character on Joan Crawford, which I can imagine must have given Bette a delicious sense of schadenfreude when playing the role. Crawford herself was nominated for an Oscar that same year, 1952, for 'Sudden Fear,' so the 2 ladies were competing with each other (they both lost to Shirley Booth). 'Sudden Fear' is an excellent noir and would make a good "overlooked film" subject; Crawford plays a strong character in that one, going up against Jack Palance and Gloria Grahame.
