Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte : Watching It For the Umptieth Time…

Watching It For the Umptieth Time…

I long ago lost count of how many times I've seen CHARLOTTE, but it never disappoints. Davis, de Havilland, Cotten, Moorehead, Astor, Kellaway - what a cast of "golden-age" Hollywood!!!

Yes, the plot has a hole or two in it, but the sum is much better than its parts.

Re: Watching It For the Umptieth Time…

I've also lost count. Saw it when I was 6 when it first came out. I've probably seen it close to a hundred times. I not only know every line before it's spoken; I know every music cue before it's played. Now THAT'S scary!

Re: Watching It For the Umptieth Time…

This is one movie i can watch over and over again.All the women in it are fabulous,Bette,Olivia,Agnes and Mary,Cecil Kellaway is good too.

Re: Watching It For the Umptieth Time…

And Victor Buono is sensational in his one big scene at the beginning.

Re: Watching It For the Umptieth Time…

Yes Victor Buono is great in his one big scene,the only one i am slightly disappointed in is Joseph Cotten,there are times where he seems like he is playing the role drunk.

Re: Watching It For the Umptieth Time…

Yes and Cotten really lays on the southern bit a little too thick at times!

I think Mary Astor's accent is authentic.
