Poor Geraldine Page has been left penniless by her late husband who left her the house and a huge stamp collection. The love went out of that marriage years ago and her being left with nothing, but debts has really put a crimp in her plans to live good in her sunset years.
Then she hits on a plan to hire housekeepers with some assets and kill them for same. She succeeds with Mildred Dunnock, but that also leaves Dunnock's friend, Ruth Gordon with a mystery to find out What Ever Happened To Aunt Alice?
Though there are a number of supporting roles Whatever Happened To Aunt Alice is a two woman show with Geraldine Page and Ruth Gordon dividing up the scenery equally so they could chow down. But this kind of black comedy really calls for it.
If your taste runs to black comedy this is your kind of film. And I do love the fact that it turns out in the end Page is not quite so penniless after all. Good thing because she'll need a good lawyer.
