[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 370044, member: 57984"] Although QUEEN BEE is not part of Crawford's Warner Brothers era -- it was released by Columbia several years after Joan went independent. The first-time director, Ranald MacDougal was hapless (but a decent screenwriter) yet it hardly matters. Joan directs herself, and does so by necessity. Her frequent collaborator Jerry Wald produced... As I've cited before, daughter Christina said QUEEN BEE was the one film of her mother's she couldn't handle watching because it came the closest by far to the real Joan Crawford. And Chritina [B]has [/B]to be telling the truth. (Although one has to assume Joan's abusive office manager in THE BEST OF EVERYTHING has to come close -- except that Joan wasn't an office manager). And it's not just because Joan was playing a bitch as, by her own admission, she'd played bitches many times before. I mean, she played an axe-murderess for godssake in inert shocker STRAIT-JACKET more sympathetically. [MEDIA=youtube]n2Zcpn8R6Gk[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
