Classic Hollywood Jun 07, 2009
This film excels in all departments. I saw it last night when it was shown on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's digital TV channel. I've looked for a DVD (apart from the Spanish version) for years. Why on earth has no one reissued a remastered print of it in this format? Joan Crawford gives her best style of melodramatic performance, full of looks, innuendoes and totally conniving, manipulative, lying bitchiness. She is surrounded by sterling performers. This represents the movies as they used to be and is totally riveting. PLEASE let us have a DVD.
Bravo! Oct 14, 2008
This is one of my favorite Joan Crawford movies and is very hard to find. I absolutely love the story line of this movie. It really shows how controlling individuals really end up very, very lonely and alone in the end. It is more like a reality check and eye opener movie for controllers.

 Portrait of an emotionally destructive woman Mar 27, 2008
Harriet Craig has a serious personality disorder. She is a skilled manipulator, and justifies her destructive lies by blaming her father. Seems that way back when little Harriet was 14, she caught her father with another woman, and in a rage she turned her back on him completely. Extreme behavior for a 14 year-old--but she was vindictive then, too. There is no room for forgiveness or understanding in her perfectionist personality.
Anyway, Harriet is so controlling that she does great harm to the lives of all those around her, mostly by sowing discord with lies, and also with her husband using sex to keep him tied to her leash.
It all comes crashing down when her web of lies ensnares her.
In today's day and age, she would need counseling and therapy, and her wounded vicitms would need years of therapy to recover, too.
Was Joan Crawford like this character in real life? I would wager yes.
Christina was scarred for life. But Miss Crawford's mental illness was not obsessive compulsive; it's diagnosed now as a borderline personality disorder. And that's what we see on screen. A human train wreck.
In sum, a meaningful, brave movie, and a time capsule back to a vanished era.
