I love that she was truly a great actress and star, but I hate that she acted petty and ridiculous a lot. I also think she could go over the top in her acting to the detriment of the whole production. When she was in the right part, though (Mildred Pierce) look out! What a star!Jennythenipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570881559181199994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429340425396153262.post-72270274028088837302010-06-21T05:19:30.046-05:002010-06-21T05:19:30.046-05:00I don't know if I will ever watch this movie b...I don't know if I will ever watch this movie but I sure enjoyed reading your review!!!<br />Regarding Joan Crawford's tempestuous quality -<br />I think her dancing is equally tempestuous. Have you seen "The Dancing Lady"? By the way, it was Fred Astaire's first screen appearance. <br />I half expected Joan to dance out a hole in the floor or to smash to pieces some unfortunate creature that came in her dancing way.:)Irenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253604730845427278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429340425396153262.post-16337280236102603122010-06-19T19:55:15.449-05:002010-06-19T19:55:15.449-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.佩芳https://www.blogger.com/profile/17395581050396754643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429340425396153262.post-51607271424894986072010-06-16T09:22:36.930-05:002010-06-16T09:22:36.930-05:00Hi Sophie and welcome.

That's what made her an interesting actor. <br /><br />Wow, Moira, I'm impressed that you could watch it three times. I'm topped out at twice, I'm afraid. <br /><br />Eva, yeah, that's a doozy. If I were a better blogger, I'd have figured out how to edit video so that I could make a slap montage for you all.Jennythenipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570881559181199994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429340425396153262.post-79601222857608484532010-06-16T05:23:50.621-05:002010-06-16T05:23:50.621-05:00I think my favourite 'slap' in this movie ...I think my favourite 'slap' in this movie is definitely when Joan hits Frank Wenzel with her bag.

Chugging every time Joan Crawford smacks someone will likely result in a blackout."<br /><br />Haha - doesn't Joan act full of anger in almost all of her films?
