[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 354351, member: 57984"] Have we mentioned QUEEN BEE (1955) -- and is that grande dame guignol, exactly? It stars a northern-born, fiftysomething Southern matriarch who dominates her family and can, she asserts, have any man she wants. The direction (by veteran screenwriter Ranald MacDougall, his debut as a director) is hapless, but Crawford directs herself and that's all you need. Barry Sullivan plays her embittered alcoholic husband, John Ireland is her occasional lover, Lucy Marlowe plays Crawford's nubile cousin who can't really act, and Betsy Palmer is Ireland's doomed fiancée. The music score by BIG VALLEY's George Duning is sometimes inappropriate. Christina Crawford said this was the one film of her mother's she just couldn't watch because the role and the performance were by far the closest to the real Joan Crawford at home. And, Jesus knows, you can tell Christina is speaking truth. [MEDIA=youtube]qcV9vaLxwa0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
