The perfect role for joan C! She totally ate up the roles where she ruled the roost, and ended up driving away the husband. But they don't seem to notice until it's too late. She demanded perfection, just like in mommie dearest, or mildred pierce. And has a short, tight haircut. Like a drill sergeant. She manipulates people. And needs everything so perfect that it gets in the way of her marriage. Harriet refuses to have a normal discussion about everyday issues and problems. The maid is played by ellen corby, better known for the waltons, or maybe sabrina. She was oscar nominated for I remember mama. And lucille watson was the wise old mother in the women. Fun to watch joan crawford dishing it out. Directed by vincent sherman. Based on the play by george kelly. Good stuff.
