À propos de ce film

This is the tale of a wealthy southern spinster Charlotte Hollis (Bette Davis) who lives with her eccentric maid (Agnes Moorehead) in a decaying southern mansion, shunned by the townsfolk after the mysterious axe-murder of her late lover. When her jealous cousin (Olivia de Havilland) and her cousin's wily husband (Joseph Cotton) arrive for a visit, the two conspire to drive Charlotte insane and have her committed so the two can sell off her estate and pocket the proceeds.

Notes et avis

A cThat Bette Davis was something else! Love me a southern Gothic. The film oir lighting was so effective, as was the music. And, dayam- Olivia De Haviland! I've only seen her as weet Mellie in Gone with the Wind. She was scary!. The twists in plot- superb!
