The movie deals with two old retired actresses : Bette Davis and Joan Crawford , Davis is a nut-head and Joan Crawford is a cripple woman . A terrible secret originates taking on each other . The confrontation will be creepy and scary .
From the beginning to the end the suspense and tension are continuous . The script of the film is very warped and the final has an extraordinary surprise . In the movie there is intrigue , mystery , violence , taut , terror and though being mostly developed on interior stages is neither tiring , nor dreary , but entertaining . The runtime is longtime , two hours and some approx. but it happens a lot of events and that's why isn't boring . Interpretation of the main actresses is first range , as Bette Davis specially , she with his make-up and hysterical acting is the real madness . Both actress will continue playing similar roles as ¨The anniversary¨ and ¨The nanny¨. Bette Davis was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in this movie . Had Davis won, it would have set a record number of wins for one actress . Davis and Joan Crawford had a lifelong mutual hatred, and a jealous Crawford actively campaigned against Davis winning Best Actress . The support cast with Victor Buono is outstanding . Robert Aldrich's direction is excellent , even the same realized a sequel : ¨ Hush,Hush sweet Charlotte ¨ ( with Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland and Victor Buono) . Black and White cinematography by Ernest Haller is rightly made and Frank DeVol music (Robert Aldrich's habitual musician) is stimulating .
Rating : Above average . This is a definitely movie worth seeing.
