TOPS: Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Each summer, the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show (TOPS) presents an a open-air festival program at four home parks across Toronto: Fort York, Christie Pits, Corktown Common, and Bell Manor Park. Corktown Common showings are on Thursday evenings starting July 3.
Join your neighbours at the park and enjoy Eats and Treats at 7pm, with the moving starting at sundown, ±9pm. Nestled between the Distillery and the Don, you get an unbeatable view of Toronto’s skyline. Bring a picnic blanket, folding chair, meditation cushion.... whatever you need to be comfortable hanging out with hundreds of neighbours on a big green lawn.
From the TOPS website: "Robert Aldrich’s diabolical thriller What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? unravels the bitter and at times brutal rivalry between two aging showbiz sisters who have been at each others’ throats since childhood. Bette Davis is magnificently malevolent as the washed-up child star 'Baby Jane,' juxtaposed against the restrained intensity of Joan Davis as her terrorized sister Blanche. The themes of celebrity, jealousy, industry exploitation, and what it means to be crowned a star in your youth only to be deemed 'past your prime' later in life still resonate today in no small part thanks to Robert Aldrich’s stunningly baroque black and white cinematography."
Screenings are open to anyone who would like to attend, with no barriers to entry. TOPS is always free to all, and charitable donations make this possible.
