Joan Crawford: The Enduring Star

What a fabulous book full of interesting and gorgeous photos of Joan Crawford. The text is just as interesting. I could not put the book down the day I received it and had it half read by the next day. Finished it in three days.

The Joan Crawford Collection (Humoresque / Possessed (1947) / The Damned Don't Cry / The Women / Mildred Pierce)
$49.98
This Joan Crawford box-set collection should be on your shelf, if your a Joan Crawford Fan. I Watched every movie and all I can say is I was not disappointed. Each movie was entertaining in their own way. My favorite movie from this collection was "The Women" very funny! On a more serious note, my second Favorite was "The Damned Dont Cry" and of course "Mildred Pierce". I love the fact that there are bonus features that come along with the set, documentary's and commentary are always a plus. I am glad I own it! Thanks!

The Damned Don't Cry
$19.98
Good Joan Crawford film, from the latter part of her strong Warner Brothers period. This one is more of a gangster picture than the rich, melodramatic "women's pictures" Crawford mostly made during this time, but there are certainly elements of the latter on display here, too.

It's funny, as I was watching this, I said to myself, "darn, this reminds me of the plot of Warren Beatty's 'Bugsy' movie of several years back." And, of course, as I discovered in one of the DVD's special features, this movie was inspired by exactly that: the story of gangster Bugsy Siegel and his created-from-whole-cloth rich socialite companion, Virginia Hill.

"The Damned Don't Cry" features a clean, sharp image on DVD. There's also a short but informative special feature (which I referred to above) consisting of interviews with director Vincent Sherman and several film scholars/enthusiasts, who offer interesting takes on the film. Other extras include the film's trailer and a movie-length commentary by director Sherman.

Entertaining, tough, and in many ways modern for its time, "The Damned Don't Cry" is well worth any film enthusiast's time.

The Joan Crawford Collection, Vol. 2 (A Woman's Face / Flamingo Road / Sadie McKee / Strange Cargo / Torch Song)
$49.98
The Joan Crawford Collection Volume 2 is a terrific collection with some of the Great Movies: Flamingo Road with Sidney Greenstreet- "What do ya do with a dead elephant" puts the "C" in Classic; the surprising A Woman's Face- no sentiment in this one and what a cast; Sadie McKee a good melodrama and surprisingly entertaining; Torch Song is such fun; and Strange Cargo - This one is one of the best films ever done, and again has a fantastic cast- and it just doesn't stop moving for a moment. This is a fun collection. No regrets!
