Mrs Taggart (Bette Davis), a wealthy, tyrannical and manipulative matriarch, holds a social gathering to celebrate her wedding anniversary, even though her husband has been dead for years. She demands the presence of her three sons: a timid cross-dresser, a stressed father of five and a secretly engaged youngster. But the party is just an excuse for Mrs Taggart to maintain her mercilessly firm grip over her offspring's lives.
Made by Britain's Hammer Studios, this deliciously nasty comedy is a claustrophobic modern classic that's packed with twists, turns and revelations. With a razor sharp script and fizzing with sparkling dialogue, The Anniversary is both hilarious and disturbing in equal measures. In the iconic central role, Bette Davis delivers an astonishing power-house performance as the one-eyed monster Mrs Taggart - possibly the cruelest character ever to grace the screen.

The Anniversary
I watched this at a cinema when it was first made. I was happy to be able to buy it, and let it make me laugh again. As I went through 'The Anniversary', Bette Davis made it all well worth the pennies. The biggest disappointment was the wait for a delivery, because of the old age of the film, but I remained patient because I was delighted when I first watched it, and yes I'm delighted still!
