Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte

Adapted from a short story of the same name by Henry Farrell, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte told the tale of a reclusive southern spinster (Bette Davis) who fought to keep her family’s secrets hidden. She eventually descends into madness after the arrival of a long-lost relative. The majority of the on-location interior and exterior scenes were filmed at Houmas House in Burnside.
