Bette Davis teams up with Robert Aldrich again for this camp classic about a southern family with a skeleton in its closet. Bette does have a few serene moments before all hell breaks loose (the scene early on around the dinner table is a ham's delight) and Olivia de Havilland (in her last hurrah on the big screen) gets to give Davis hell. The film also offers the opportunity to see some great actors in the twilight of their careers (including Mary Astor in a swansong cameo) which for me was the main attraction. You get the feeling that Aldrich has just sat back and let the actors take over which in the end isnt a bad thing.

This is Bette Davis' second film with director Robert Aldrich, and it could be described as the cousin to it. However, in 'Baby Jane' Davis had the upper hand, in 'Charlotte' she is the victim. Trapped in a crumbling mansion in America's deep south, at the mercy of her scheming relatives, Davis gives an over the top performance, ably supported by Olivia de Havilland who replaced Joan Crawford after she dropped out of the project.

Director robert aldrich made this movie 2 years after "whatever happened to baby jane" and was intended as a companion piece with the same two stars,bette davis and joan crawford,but miss crawford pulled out shortly after filming with ill health and was replaced by olivia de havilland.It starts in 1927 with a society girl(davis) having an affair with a married man who ends up murdered,but by whom?It then shifts to 1964 with bette davis living alone in a soon to be demolished mansion,where she has lived with the guilt,(the whole town blamed her for the murder but she got off) and is seemingly going mad.Her cousin ,de havilland ,arrives to help her move out but has alterior motives .I wont give anything else away it would spoil it for you but it is definitely worth seeing.The disc (region 1 only) has a commentary ,trailers and tv spots.Very enjoyable if slightly long.
