CLASSIC Bette Davis, HUSH......Sweet Charlotte
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
A spinster haunted by memories of her murdered fiance. Charlotte, whose only social contact is with her maid, Velma (Agnes Moorehead), is crushed to learn that the state wants to tear down her mansion and put up a highway in its place. She calls on her cousin Miriam (Olivia de Havilland) for help, but Miriam fails to offer any assistance other than bringing in the family physician (Joseph Cotten) to have her troubled relative committed. As the nightmares of her fiance continue to haunt her, Charlotte ends up fighting not only for the Hollis estate but for her sanity as well.
Black and White a GREAT CLASSIC!
Davis begun in the terrifying smash hit WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? Davis heads up the stellar cast (which includes Bruce Dern and George Kennedy in small, early roles and Mary Astor in her last film appearance) with a performance that radiates desperation, entrapment, and inevitable collapse. HUSH...HUSH, SWEET CHARLOTTE provides a chilling investigation of a heartbreakingly demented mind.
This is ONE MOVIE that never goes out of style! In my opinion it should never be remastered in Color, that would take away from the whole movie. Some things are better left alone, as they were meant to be. This is one of them. Some may disagree but it's all in ones taste. Any and all classics should be as they were from the beginning, true to life.
Take a look at this film, you will watch it again and again!!
