Guest Co-Hosts: Tim Madigan, Otto BrunoBuonopalooza rolls on with Robert Aldrich's Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964). Following the massive success of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Aldrich re-teamed with Betty Davis for another Southern Gothic nightmare. Based on another story by Henry Farrel, Davis plays Charlotte Hollis, a reclusive woman haunted by whispers of murder and locked in a decaying Louisiana mansion where secrets fester and madness simmers. The film co-stars Olivia de Havilland, Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, and -- of course -- Victor Buono in a pivotal role.
Mike White is joined by Tim Madigan and Otto Bruno to dig into the history, the production troubles, and the legacy of one of the juiciest entries in the “Psycho-Biddy” cycle.
