Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte Blu-ray Review

An effective exercise in Southern Gothic mystery and suspense, Robert Aldrich’s Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte carries with it the patina of award-winning participants both before and behind the camera, sweeping one up in its deliciously diabolical conundrums that are doled out with beautifully measured ease.

Excellent movie. Loved it. Fantastic pq. I know this is just saying the obvious, but if you haven't seen it avoid spoilers!

With mysteries, I always bend over backwards not to give away too much, but it's almost impossible not to spill some of the beans.

Wasn't meaning to imply anything about your review, which is excellent and well-written as always. I think your review can be read by potential customers with confidence.++

I wonder if Charlotte was kin. I know a few cousins that would make them look sane.

Another film I viewed first in a movie theater during my childhood that scared the crap out of me, particularly,

the greenhouse scene with Bruce Dern.

Boy, did it ever. As had Baby Jane before it. I so was completely taken with these films at that tender age, I talked my family's and friends' collective ear off about them. Went to this one repeatedly.

The two Fox-released DVDs have finally gone to new and hopefully happy homes. It is so rewarding to now have both of these films (I'll welcome their less effective imitators as well) in such beautiful form.

Now, of course, it's also doubly rewarding to bring full adult appreciation of all the participants to the party.

Always like the placement of the herring, early on with John Megan, aka Dill...

Oy!

Watched this BD yesterday and it is indeed a reference quality disc. Absolutely beautiful and still nightmare inducing. I plan to rewatch with the commentaries next.

Matt, when I first read your statement that both audio options were mono, I thought for sure you must be mistaken, but now I have the disc and you are absolutely correct. It is Twilight Time who made the mistake and put the mono track on twice and left off Fox's fake stereo version from the DVD. No real loss there.
