WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BETTE & JOAN – TROG & THE CARETAKERS
“An opportunity to lift the veil from the past.”
Our exploration through late-era Bette Davis & Joan Crawford comes to a close this week as we say goodbye to the latter with a look at two final offerings from the beloved legend, including her last feature film, the 1970 sci-fi tale Trog. Robert Dance, author of Ferocious Ambition: Joan Crawford’s March to Stardom, joins me as we break down that infamous movie as well as Joan’s final non-genre film, the 1963 medical drama The Caretakers, where she nearly steals the show from the likes of Robert Stack, Polly Bergen and Janis Page.

Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
