The film, "Hush...Hush Sweet Charlotte" is excellent in all respects: cinematography, acting, directing; everything. Bette Davis is wonderful as the slightly crazy southern belle whose life has been ruined by an earlier tragedy. The most intriguing character of the movie is Miriam, played by Olivia de Havilland. Most people would remember her as the sweet character Melanie from "Gone With the Wind", but in this film she is quite different. Instead of the kind southern woman, she is a cold-hearted, evil woman who wants to take over her cousin's land. De Havilland perfects the role with her incredible acting ability, which shows her versatility in this role. The cynicism she brings to the film gives it so much more depth. Another notable character is the one played by Joseph Cotten, who never lacks in a performance. The crazy house maid is also very good. All around, "Hush...Hush Sweet Charlotte" is a wonderful work of cinema.
