One of Crawford's better films
by preppy-2 β€’ 1999-08-20
7/10

"Crawford has one of the more complex roles ever given her. Playing a scarred woman who hates everything and everybody, she shows depth in her performance that she'd never shown before. Director Cukor got her to tone done her usual overacting (no mean feat) and she beautifully underplays the role. Exciting story, beautiful settings, good acting, incredible directing...it's a wonder this film isn't better known. Well worth seeing, especially if you're a Crawford fan...."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

Director George Cukor wanted Anna's recital of her life story to be done in a tired, mechanical fashion, so he had Joan Crawford repeat the multiplication tables over and over until he got the monotonous tone he was looking for. Then, he rolled the cameras.
