Harriet Craig (1950)

Harriet Craig (1950). 1h 34m | Approved

“One of Joan Crawfordu0026#39;s best roles. She plays a possessive domineering perfectionist housewife who tries to control everyone in her life, particularly her exceptionally nice husband (Wendell Corey). A lot has been said about the similarities between the character of Harriet Craig and Joan herself. Perhaps thatu0026#39;s why Joanu0026#39;s performance is so superb. She plays the character of Harriet so effortlessly. Wendell Corey is terrific as her husband. Through most of the movie heu0026#39;s a pushover but when he finally realizes who his wife really is and what sheu0026#39;s capable of, look out! Itu0026#39;s a very good drama but also some funny parts. Moves along at a crisp pace. Unlike most dramas from the period (and today, really) it doesnu0026#39;t overstay its welcome and pad the length for another twenty minutes. Definitely recommended.”
