[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 271935, member: 57984"] ---------- Although I can't take my eyes off of QUEEN BEE whenever it's on for the very reason Christina said the role was closest to the "real Joan" -- Jesus knows Christina must be telling the truth, because it all rings true. QUEEN BEE is indeed camp, largely because it had a first-time director who gave it a pointedly B-movie flavor. And one who didn't know how to rein in Crawford's narcissistic portrayal of a narcissist, and I'm not even sure he should have. I think this is the movie that inspired Joan to say: "[I][B]There's a little bit of bitch in every woman, and a little bit of bitch in every man."[/B][/I] Not exactly Lillian Hellman, but never accuse Joan Crawford of lacking philosophical splendor.
