Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)

"Miriam? He really... isn't here, is he? Just now, I thought I heard... sometimes at night, when I wake up, it seems as if he really is here. Don't turn on the light. It's not real when it's light. It's only real when it's dark - dark and still."

Who. Cecile Van Doren & Efe Umukoro @firefighterxefeWhere. Outside of Astor Realty. Downtown. When. Friday afternoon.

Cece has misread her schedule for the day. She had thought she was working until seven o'clock, but when her boss found her at 5:15 and asked why she was still restocking shelves, she was surprised and excited to find she would have a few more hours of the night to herself. Of course, the problem with being unable to drive meant that in moments like this, she had to contact the family driver to pick her up earlier then he was expecting. And when her sister was currently using said driver to pick her up from the tennis courts, it meant that Cecile needed to find some ways to pass the time.

Today she was simply walking throughout the downtown area, enjoying the warm air. Looking up at the bright sky above, she reminded herself it would be a full moon and to make sure she was inside before any thing particularly hairy began.

When she came upon Astor Realty, the lights dark and the business closed for the day, she couldn't help but let out a sigh as she as she looked over the available properties displayed. Now a young woman searching for some sort of purpose in her life that did not revolve around her family, Cece was almost desperate for her own space. But how would she bring that up to her family?

Suddenly aware of a nearby form walking towards her, Cece turned and recognized Efe walking her way. His family also living in Celestial Hills, and she felt they were somewhat familiar enough for her to strike up a random conversation. "Hello, Efe. Simply enjoying the night or are you on some sort of mission?"

"Sweetheart, it's time to go now. Your mother and I are waiting for you." Her father softly spoke, knocking on the door twice before going after his daughter's response.

"I'm sorry, give me one moment, I'll be down momentarily." (Y/N) responded, the girl struggled on pulling down the edge of the skirt.

"Damn, skirt." She cursed, "Lady Bayard, we must be going now. I believe that your father recalled that the Cecil party will start at 5:30 PM on the dot, and it's 4:48 PM." The maid called out.

It seemed that (Y/N) had forgotten about the time when her father told her about the time of the Cecil party, "Well, darn. I guess, it can't be done. Well then, let's us go now."

Her maid smiled kindly at the Bayard's daughter, "Yes, Miss Bayard—"

"(Y/N) is fine, Ms. William. And drop the honorifics, Honorifics can be a bit too touchy, it makes me feel old. Keep this between you and I." (Y/N) puffed out trying to catch her breath on the tighten corset.

"Of course, (Y/N). If it's alright, you can call me Marie instead of William." (Y/N) nodded at Marie and walked towards her door that leads out into the hallways.

"If that's what your wish is, I'll be happy to call you Marie. Well, farewell Marie. I will be going now, when I come back. Please do make me a cup of tea! I would wish to tell you all about the party when I come back." (Y/N) smiled.

Marie seemed to be shocked at this following order but had accepted the request no doubt about it.

"Of course, I will make sure of that request."

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

"We welcome you all to the Cecil party, Astor family, Amano family, Bayard family, Fitzgerald family, Ford family, Cambell family—..." The Etiquette welcomed with a bright smile, he continued on welcoming the families who had came.

"This is awfully boring," (Y/N) groaned, "It quite is but it can't be help, can't it, Lady Bayard?" An unfamiliar monotoned cold voice came right behind her chair.

This caused the young Bayard to be startled by the voice, she turned to look behind her chair and saw another table that was close to hers.

She then examined where the voice had came from, it was surely the Amano's table that had made her startle.

She seemed to look one by one on each of the Amano's, "There hair are so magnificent." She thought with lit up eyes but paused when she heard the voice once again.

"If it makes you feel better, I would allow you to have a modern art of me and my family if you wish to stare at us longer." They chuckled, (Y/N)'s eyes widen when she heard the cold voice again that came from her left ear.

She turned and saw a person that seems to be the same or close to her age, their hair was heron plum just like their father's.

"(Y/N) Bayard, is it?" They looked at her straight in the eyes, making eye contact with each other.

(Y/N) opened her mouth to say something to the person only to have herself make a small sound for them to hear it making them chuckle slightly.

"I'll take that as a yes, my name is Amano, Amano Sage. You can call me by my first, I don't mind at all." Amano held out their hand for her to shake hands with them.

It was just then that she was completely frozen and didn't seem to know how she was acting. She was truly trying to process on what she was trying to do.

Amano seemed to take a hint by her action, they grabbed her hand to shake with his. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Bayard. Or if you prefer Lady (Y/N), Bayard, or (Y/N)"

(Y/N) just stared at them until she strained herself. "The pleasures all mind, Mr. Amano. I would prefer if you call me (Y/N). Thank you for... your action?" She wasn't unsure what to say but she surely hope the both will talk to each other once again and be friends.

scene of Quo vadis? from 1912 by Enrico Guazzoni

The kolossals were characterized by mammoth sets, pharaonic budgets, Mammoth scenography and a large number of extras and table special effects. Thanks to the increase of techiniche the cinasti had the opportunity to give vent to the fantasy. The roots of Kolossal are in Europe, in particular in Italy, where directors take their cue from Roman history and make original films from a visual point of view and pharaonic in size. Enrico Guazzoni (1889-1949) for Quo Vadis? 1912 hired 5000 extras for the film set in early Christian Rome. Even more ambitious du Cabrina: historical vision of the third century BC of 1914 by Giovanni Pastorne (1883-1981) with a film that lasts 3 hours, shot with various settings, with hundreds of extras and monumental sets. Pastore and his collaborator Segundo de Chomon (1871-1929) were the first to use the cart, which allows to sopostare the car without tremoli or tremosoni. Segundo de Chomon showed his mastery for the obtuse effects and the movements of the machine also for Napoleon,1927 by Abel Gance (1889-1981). The Italian Kolossals also influenced Hollywood, inspiring for films such as Cecil B. DEMillie’s The Ten Commandements of 1923 (1881-1959), a 136-minute film that tells the life of Moses in dramatic tones. Cecil B. DEMillie used all his communicative skills also in the Il re dei re of 1927, a Kolossal dealing with new biblical times. With the First World War, European cinema suffered a sharp beat and in the frantic American directors had the opportunity to develop further techine but they did not remain imappassississississibili in front of the war witnesses films like THE BIRTH OF A NATION 1915 by D.W Griffith(1875-1948 the film deals with the American War of Sucession by introducing innovations from the point of view of narrative techinic visrta, showing the horrors of war along with racist themes. Pace the battle cry of civilization of 1916 by Thomas H. Ince (1881-1924) Ince was a prominent figure in the early American film industry, defining the role of producer and executive producer, contributing to the development of Studio System. In 1915, he and others founded one of America’s first independent film companies, the Trisngle Motion Picture Company. Ince had always understood that for feature films a suitable place was needed for staging, so he was the first to build the studios in Inceville, a ranch in Los Angeles. The cinema of the first after the war in Europe was dominated by Frizt Lang (1890-1976) author of I Nebelughi, saga of two eppisodi The death of Sigifridfo and The revenge of Crimilde both 1924, was a magniloquent work that, with its fantastic scenography,Mythological creatures and choreographic battle scenes laid the foundations forfantastic eopoea. However, the highest-grossing silent film was King Vindor’s The Great Parade of 1925 (1894-1982) screened for 96 weeks at the Astor Theatre in New York.

A Review of the Gothic Drama Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte

Recently I had the opportunity to see Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte again.  I could not tell you how many times I’ve watched this movie, but it’s probably no less than ten. Over the years I have never lost my interest in this story. It’s one of my favorites from the 60s.

Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte has everything you could want in a film. It is a mix of  drama and suspense, with a certain amount of camp too. The black and white cinematography and haunting, eerie music add to the suspense factor. There is even a huge thunderstorm late at night,a staple for suspense stories,complete with howling winds and shattered glass.

What really makes this film such a treat is the performances by the cast. Both Bette Davis and Agnes Moorehead are over the top at times, but that only makes it more fun to watch.

This wasn’t the first time that Davis had played a very disturbed, and somewhat grotesque character.   In 1962 she appeared in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? with Joan Crawford.  The movie was a box office success, and producers were eager to have them both appear in another story.  Davis was given the script for the new film, and readily came on board.

It wasn’t much of a secret that Davis and Crawford  despised each other, on screen and off. Crawford did not want to work with her again. Producers were faced with the difficult challenge of finding someone else  to play Charlotte’s cousin Miriam. Many major stars had been approached, but they all  turned the down the role.

Bette Davis had a good relationship with Olivia de Havilland  and recommended her for the part. Olivia at the time was known for playing kindhearted characters, and may have been apprehensive about taking on the role of Miriam. However, she was eventually persuaded, and I think we can all agree she played her part to the hilt.

Similarities Between Baby Jane and Charlotte

Baby Jane and Charlotte had some characteristics in common.  They were friendless and  almost totally unaware of the outside world. They also lived  completely in the past. As time went on, both characters had difficulty knowing fantasy from reality. Both women had fiery tempers as well.

However, there was one major difference that I could see. Charlotte was a much more sympathetic character.  It’s impossible to not feel sorry for her as she descends further into madness.  She also was betrayed by two people she thought she could trust.

You also get the sense that her life was stolen from her. Charlotte Hollis was shunned by almost everyone, because the town believed she killed her lover. Charlotte, meanwhile, thought her father was the culprit. The only person who really cared about her was the wisecracking housekeeper.  Charlotte wouldn’t move out of the dilapidated mansion because she could not let go of the past.

Olivia de Havilland’s Role as Miriam

It’s quite a mystery to me as to why de Havilland did not receive a single award nomination for this role. Agnes Moorehead was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe, although she did not win. Not to take anything away from Moorehead, but de Havilland most definitely was overlooked for some reason.

Initially the character of Miriam seems so sweet and innocent. However, it doesn’t take long for the viewer to realize her true character is far from that. The scene between Velma and Miriam, where Velma confronts her, is acting excellence. Her voice is cold and menacing. But what really gets me every time is the pure look of evil and hatred on Miriam’s face as Velma reveals what she knows.

The other scene that really displays her acting talent is the car scene. Charlotte is near hysteria. Miriam stops the car, slaps Charlotte repeatedly and threatens her in such a way that would scare anyone. She’s very impressive and convincing as an evil character.

In Summary

Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte is great entertainment and perhaps one of the most memorable roles ever played by Bette Davis. Mary Astor and Cecil Kellaway were good in small but important roles. I wasn’t too fond of Joseph Cotton’s portrayal of Drew.The southern accent seemed to be a bit too exaggerated, plus he often sounded like he was drunk.

The theme song is great too, which is sung as a lullaby.Patti Page made it a great hit.

Albert Camus, Stranger in a Strange Land: New York

“When a boat carrying Albert Camus sailed into New York Harbor in March 1946, he was hailed as a moral emissary from war-ravaged Europe and the glamorous embodiment of a newfangled philosophy known as Existentialism. The American publication of his novel ‘The Stranger’ was celebrated on the roof of the Hotel Astor, and Vogue published a portrait by Cecil Beaton, showing Camus smiling slyly from noirish shadows. But a year later, Camus recalled his three months amid the city’s ‘swarming lights’ and frantic streets with a mixture of awe and bafflement. ...”
