[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 374665, member: 57984"] I suppose all of that's true. But I've seen a lot of Crawford movies, and don't recall thinking she was inebriated just because -- y'know -- MOMMIE DEAREST. Rumors have always circulated that Joan was drunk on the set of THE LUCY SHOW during rehearsals, and that Lucille Ball threatened to replace her with Gloria Steinem; Joan was fine during filming. You may have heard other versions. The first time i saw TROG in decades, there were scenes where she seemed a wee bit tipsy and she lisped. So to hear that some crew people said she was hitting the sauce isn't surprising. Perhaps Trog himself wasn't exposed to it, or maybe he was being professionally courteous in his comments. That said, Crawford is the best thing in the movie -- as she usually is. A slightly drunk Joan still towers over her material. [/QUOTE]
