Revealing mistake: When Miriam pushes Velma around in the hall, Velma collides with a wobbly banister - one that won't hurt Agnes Moorehead, the actress playing Velma.
Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Robert Aldrich
Starring: Joseph Cotten, Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Agnes Moorehead
Continuity mistake: When Charlotte shoots Drew, her hair is in plaits that are on top of her head, but as time progresses so does her hair. When they are disposing of the body, her hair is down; and when she enters the house, it is completely down and brushed out.
Velma Cruther: Think I don't know a due bill when I see one?
Question: I've been puzzling over this for decades: who smashes the mirrors in the music room? Is it Charlotte, in a drug-induced state - that would explain the marks on her arm, pretty bad ones, too - but she loves the house, she wouldn't hurt it? Or is it Drew, and they - he and Miriam - imply she did it, to make Charlotte think she's crazier than she already is? It can't be Miriam - she was in bed, asleep.
