Ten-star reviews are usually given for big budget classics that are on everybody's must-see list.....but I have no problem awarding one to 'Charlotte'. As noted in other reviews, Robert Aldrich and company went through many hoops in order to get the picture completed, but the end result was worth it. It isn't remembered as much as its predecessor Baby Jane (which kicked off the 'grande-dames-go-bananas' craze of the '60's) but it should be. It's even more atmospheric, with the whole cast fully in tune with the spirit of the movie, and Moorehead's Oscar-nommed Velma-a true bayou redneck- is an underappreciated gem.
