An exceptional cast!
Yesterday I decided at have a severed Head Sunday. Today I thought I would write about it in lieu of my usual Monstrous Monday Post. I began with Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte with Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, Victor Buono, and Mary Astor. Just to name everybody.
One of my favorite shots.
I love Hush, Hush but do not pop it in very often, because it is so long. I guess I have a short attention span, but I do enjoy watching several movies of 90 minutes or less.
She feels strongly about it.
A few days ago I was disappointed to be unable to find my DVD of StraitJacket (starring Joan Crawford, of course). Yesterday I had better luck. In fact, I was surprised I had not found it before, because it was not that far out of alphabetical order. However, I feel it was just as well I had not watched it before, because it fits so well with my Severed Head theme of the day.
And here are a couple of the heads!
It seems this post is longer on pictures than words, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I’m not even sure it can count as a Severed Head Sunday since I only watched two movies with severed heads. Full disclosure: my first movie was Rope, which features a strangulation, but the victim’s head remains attached (that did not require a spoiler alert; it happens in the very first scene).
No matter. It is Monday, and it has not been as monstrous as it might have been. Once again, I thank you for tuning in.
