Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte - 1965, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., 127mm., 45s., B&W. Produced and directed by Robert Aldrich; screenplay by Henry Farrell and Lukas Heller; cinematography by Joseph Biroc; music by DeVol; with: Bette Davis (Charlotte Hollis), Olivia de Havilland (Miriam Deering), Joseph Cotten (Dr. Drew Bayliss), Agnes Moorehead (Velma Cruther), Cecil Kellaway (Harry Willis), Victor Buono (Big Sam Hollis), Mary Astor (Mrs. Jewel Mayhew), Bruce Dern (John Mayhew), George Kennedy (Foreman).
  • Bette Davis plays Charlotte Hollis, a hermetic spinster haunted by memories of her murdered fiancĂ©. 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 fiancĂ© continue to haunt her, Charlotte ends up fighting not only for the Hollis estate but for her sanity as well.
    Director Robert Aldrich resumes the electric collaboration with 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 one-of-a-kind item is a well used but very playable original print on Agfa Gevaert 1S stock from the 1960s with a needle sharp image, rich theatrical contrast, and a fine variable area soundtrack.
