[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 273506, member: 5079"] It is a pretty limited genre, in both scope and quality. (Even more so for me. I only regard those movies that are of the direct BABY JANE type to fall within the genre, whereas others seem to consider any horror movie starring a past-her-prime movie queen.) Taken as a whole I think horror movies are the laziest genre, and most are pretty shoddy. I think the ratio is even higher than the "90% of everything is crap" rule. Not that the ladies would have fared much better without those films; they would have just drifted into semi-obscurity. Without the luck of landing in a TV series (like Stanwyck), there wasn't much awaiting them. I think Myrna Loy and Claudette Colbert were quoted around the time that they'd rather be retired than play demented old bags and, well, they basically were. Either/or. It is an awfully good pic though, so it's probably better than a ton of movies. [/QUOTE]
