This was on TCM tonight. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it. Such a marvelous movie. Anybody else recognize Ellen Corby and Helen Kleeb? They would both later be on The Waltons starting in 1972. 😊😊
Bette Davis is really superb. The direction by Robert Aldrich is masterful, the shots at the end (from the moving car, camera pulling back etc.) are magnificent - and Frank DeVol's score is brilliant. The orchestration of the end title song, starting subtle, with an accompanying harmonica solo, ending with the female over-the-top chorus accompaniment of Al Martino's lead, always gives me goose bumps.
Thank you for your eloquent comments. HHSC is a truly great film. I can't think of any actress that could have come close to Bette Davis' performance. Having said that, the performances of Olivia de Havilland, Agnes Moorehead, and Joseph Cotton were also excellent. BTW, despite Olivia de Havilland's brilliant performance as Miriam, I think Joan Crawford would also have been great in the part.
@Larry Mitchell I was just looking up these clips since it has been a while since I watched the movie. And wow, Larry, I was just thinking almost exactly this before I read your post. It's one of those twists of fate, that Crawford became so paranoid about working with Bette again and was replaced. I can't imagine in any sense that Joan could have portrayed this any better than Olivia did. Funny story if it is true - I read that Bette and Olivia were traveling around on a publicity tour promoting the film. Although Bette and Olivia were good friends, at some point Bette said, "You are really getting on my nerves." Supposedly Olivia cooly replied, "Well, I guess you would have preferred making these tours with Joan Crawford." LOL
That's why Bette and Olivia were such good friends. Bette could only respect women who gave as good as they got, and with excuses to Crawford, she was not quite strong enough.
Olivia De Havilland was portraying her true personalty, She was raised by her farther to be a vicious take no prisoner competitor toward everything in life.
Olivia de Havilland, cast in this film (against type) upon the departure of Joan Crawford, played an outstanding role by being able to balance chic and dangerous evil in the most clever way possible. Crawford could have never done this.
When you google, you have to know what you're looking for. I mean, does your cursor click every title in a filmography? They were just presented at the video store.
I SEE THE GRANMOTHER FROM THE WALTONS IS IN THE MOVIE JUST FOR A SECOND WHERE THE OLD MAN HANDS BETTIE A LETTER AND STANDS BACK. ON THE RIGHT SIDE BESIDE HIM SHES THE ONE WEARING THE HAT. WHOS THE GRANNY FROM THE WALTONS .JUST THOUGHT ID LET YOU NO .
THEN what happened? To Charlotte, I mean. Jewel Mayhew's letter exonerated her from the killing of John Mayhew in 1927, but she still had killed her cousin and the doctor by pushing the urn onto them from the second floor.
@@ericpeterson6766 On reconsideration, I'm sure it was thought by everyone that the urn just fell off the second floor by itself because the house was so deteriorated, so Charlotte moved to a new home and lived out the rest of her life.
I've watched this movie so many times since I was a child and continue now that I'm in my mid 60's😅❤
Bette, Olivia and Agnes made this one of my favorite "horror" films of all time.

Yes..
This movie had everything.
Wonderful movie! Superb acting with a superb cast!! Great Bette Davis! Bravo!! 🙏🙏
Harry's wave to Charlotte, by Cecil Kellaway, always stuck with me. So supportive... tipping his hat to honor her endurance
Agnel Moorehead deserved the Oscar® nomination for this film. She was superb. Excellent music score by Frank DeVol.
Yes! Ms. Moorehead was the ultimate character actress.
She got the nomination...but lost the best supporting actress award to Margaret Rutherford in The VIPs.
@@rickw1100 You're a year early. Moorehead was nominated for "Charlotte", but lost to Lilia Kedrova for her role in "Zorba the Greek" (1964).
Agnes Moorehead Great actress
I love Bette Davis. She was one of the most greatest actresses the movie business has ever seen!! ❤️❤️❤️ Rest In Peace
I love this movie and the sweet ending!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Great performance of Bette Davis in this film as usually

Hey Grandma Walton's Ellen Corby was in the final scenes as Bette Davis was driven away

Glenn Close as Charlotte & Meryl Streep as Miriam.
La más. Bonita película de todas bien todas son bonitas pero ya hace tiempo lo dije que estará era la que más me gustó xxx
Such a sad movie, Charlotte's whole life wasted.
I know, it really sucks.
Only the few that saw flim as I as a child remember the scene when Betty pushed her sis downstairs 😢
I’ve seen this at least a dozen times and still don’t know who the killer was. 😩
Hello the killer was his wife.
Me neither First time I saw it was 1964 with my mother when I was 8..
I love you her
ID LOVE TO NO WHAT WAS IN THAT BOX SHES HOLDING NEAR THE END OF THE MOVIE .DO YOU NO ?
Joan Crawford would have pulled up the movie one or two notches !!!!
施設に入るために屋敷を車で出るラスト、べティディビス上手いねぇ、いい役者だねぇ。
Does anyone know the guy that was singing hush hush sweet Charlotte here?
Al Martino

I agree with you regarding Olivia de Havilland, and yet I think Joan Crawford could also have been a great Miriam.

If you cant find it in your own backyard....?
THEN what happened? To Charlotte, I mean. Jewel Mayhew's letter exonerated her from the killing of John Mayhew in 1927, but she still had killed her cousin and the doctor by pushing the urn onto them from the second floor.
Self defense plea most likely since they were plotting to gaslight her anyway...
She is found Guilty, and makes a run for it, and is shot down with twice as many bullets then Faye Dunaway got in
Bonnie And Clyde!
could it all be some sort of trick reverse mirror reflection....the whole last half of the film is actually a distraction, meta, sixties style...
@@ericpeterson6766 On reconsideration, I'm sure it was thought by everyone that the urn just fell off the second floor by itself because the house was so deteriorated, so Charlotte moved to a new home and lived out the rest of her life.
I now see the film as far more complex than previously thought of.
So sad she had to find out that way what really happend 😢
