Faye Dunaway does an incredible slash-and-burn job on Joan Crawford in this film, much to the disdain of Hollywood. For Miss Dunaway to go from "Best Actress" in "Network" to "Worst Actress" in this flick indicates that much of Tinseltown did not like what they did to Crawford. The movie apparently leaves out many parts of Crawford's long and distinguished career, horror films of the 1960s, and many marriages and other relationships.
Now almost 30 years after Crawford's 1977 death, no one will ever know if the accusations of daughter dearest Christina are even remotely accurate, but it makes for a hilarious film. I have compared Miss Crawford to my mother at times for laughs. Parts of the film will never be forgotten: digging up the garden at midnight, making drinks for Christina's "uncles," putting her in a convent, etc.
The Wire Hangers Scene will live in infamy. Do not miss this film.
