Both are insufferable.

Only in the eye of the beholder is it a better film. Down to the nitty gritty, it isn't much better than Strait Jacket or Dead Ringer. Hush Hush though actually owes itself to Les Diaboliques 1955.

@@Garsons-oq4lh... You think CHARLOTTE "isn't much better" than sloppy, sloppy STRAIT-JACKET?? Sometimes the eyes of the beholder are closed shut like a steel trap.

​​@@cedarabbeyOr Dead Ringer or The Nanny. But if we were talking about filmmaking sloppiness, then there is in Hush. For instance, the slapping scene in the car is chock full of fake slaps and fake slap noises that don't go together. There are also shots of another actress in the taxi when Miriam arrives and later when Miriam and Charlotte drive away from the house to dispose of Drew's body.

@@Garsons-oq4lh .. No. CHARLOTTE and BABY JANE and even THE NANNY were A-level productions. DEAD RINGER was, essentially, B-plus. Sadly, the most promising one of them all was the worst: STRAIT-JACKET, a tacky C-minus production.

@@Garsons-oq4lh Not quite. An American version of _Les Diaboliques_ , titled _Reflections of Murder_ , was made by ABC in 1974, starring Tuesday Weld, Joan Hackett, and Sam Waterston. In 1993, another made-for-television film remake was made; this one was titled _House of Secrets_ , and it starred Melissa Gilbert. In 1996, the film was remade again as _Diabolique_ , adapted by Don Roos, directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik, and starring Sharon Stone and Isabelle Adjani in the leading female roles, with Chazz Palminteri as the husband and Kathy Bates as the detective.

How exactly would Mario have been able to impersonate Agnes Moorehead's voice? Unlike Bette, Agnes has no vocal tics for easy impersonation.

@@Garsons-oq4lh in reference to HUSH , HUSH , SWEET CHARLOTTE, Agnes has a very distinctive "southern accent" and has some of the best lines in the movie. She steals every scene that she's in , even with due respect to Bette , Agnes is the one you watch and listen to...👀👁️👁️👂🗣️

Mario sounds just like Bette :)

Joan did not keep the Oscar for two years. She gave to Bancroft a few weeks later when Mother Courage was still playing on Broadway. Bancroft confirmed this after Davis continued to push her version of the story, which was an outright lie.

Hard to believe Agnes was playing Endora at the same time she was playing Velma.

The sheriff nor the mental institution rep saw Charlotte receiving the letter from Mr. Wills. Once the contents are read, my take is that things would turn out better for her.
