Believed by many to have murdered her lover over 30 years earlier, aging, reclusive-and wealthy-spinster Charlotte Hollis (Bette Davis) begins to lose her grip on sanity just as distant cousin Miriam (Olivia de Havilland) comes to live with her. Could it be a coincidence, or is something more sinister taking place? Joseph Cotten, Victor Buono, Mary Astor co-star in this macabre suspenser. 132 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English stereo, mono; Subtitles: English, Spanish; theatrical trailers; TV spots; audio commentary. Region Free Review: HUSH HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE DVD - Many diferent releases of this little classic which I have had for years and saw again last night. My version is a perfect transfer - 16.9 ratio, excellent picture sound and subtitles. This is grand guignol (sic) melodrama done as only Hollywood and Robert Aldrich/Bette davis could do. Davis is at her mad woman best as Charlotte, a recluse in her mansion in the deep south. She believes her much loved father (Buono) killed her lover (Dern) and she hopelessly hides from the world. She is jopined by her cousin De Havilland, who comes to take care of her. The temeprature risies at a pace. madness, murder, thunderstorms, the kitchen sink, and....an incredibly awful OTT performence from that much respected actress Agnes Moorhead (I bet she loved every minute). The support cast is full of well known faces some just getting started (George Kennedy), Cecil Kellaway, Percy Helton, William Campbell and many more plus a cameo from Mary Astor. If you like full blown melodrama you should love this. I think it is as good as, if not better, than "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" Just my opinion of course. Review: Classic 60s movie from this genre. - This is the movie I've watched numerous times, but upon the beginning of every viewing, always seem to have forgotten the outcome of the story. This was the second film on a similar theme to 'Baby Jane' made two years earlier, but far more complex, and as a consequence, can at times appear a little over-long. Agnes Moorehead deservedly earns herself an award here as the faithful and loyal servant of the alleged crazy 'Miss Charlotte' (played by Bette Davis) Compare Moorehead's performance to that of her role in the US 60s sitcom: 'Bewitched' and you will see what I mean! Olivia de Havliand is at her most cold and cunning in this, as Charlotte's cousin Miriam. There is one spectacular and un-missable scene between she and Moorehead at the top of the stairs when one character is highly suspicious of the other. Some of the best movies in this genre from the 60s were led by women such as the aforementioned; 'Baby Jane', Whatever Happened To Aunt Alice' and Britain's 'The Beast In The Cellar', and somehow have more impact, and are more disturbing, because of their sex. 'Hush Hush' almost has the exact same cast as starred in 'Baby Jane', and it would have been complete but for Joan Crawford, who because of the strain of working with Davis in 'Baby Jane', after only a short time of filming had been forced to drop out, and was replaced by de Haviland. The switch could have potentially been fatal to the success of this picture, but for de Haviland's outstandingly cold performance! One of the extras on this DVD is the original Trailer - re-mastered (Trailers are not often polished up), and is one of the very best I have ever seen for this type of movie!

True movie gold! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Edge of your seat stuff *by E***B on 19 February 2024* Both Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland are good in this. Bette looks much older than 56 which was her age at the time. Film was tense and dramatic. A twist in the tale. Lots of "accidental " deaths. Quite scary. Special effects naff by today's standards. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte - What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (Anniversary Edition) - All About Eve --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/502437952-hush-hush-sweet-charlotte](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/502437952-hush-hush-sweet-charlotte) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
