RATS IN THE CELLAR
Rats in the cellar, parakeet under glass, maudlin mansion
with murderous memories, wheelchair gyrations around and around, Blanche
ringing her buzzer all the time, Jane Hudson doing her comeback routine like
Norma Desmond in drag, look who’s coming for din-din!!!
My favorite scene, Victor Bruno playing the piano in the
dingy parlor, suddenly transforming Bette Davis coming down the staircase—into
a decadent Diva once again, plucking her tenth Oscar nomination from the cruel
embrace of unsympathetic Hollywood Babylon…
Ditching Bela Lugosi, another aging movie star, poor
addicted Dracula, cast into the schmaltzy arms of Ed Wood Junior’s trashy
schlock Grade-Z movies, while Bette Davis and Joan Crawford do their classy
Swan Song with the hardly unexpected Diva inspired chic sophistication and drag
queen class…
