[QUOTE="Soaplover, post: 397610, member: 336"] I thought Joan's films between the Women and Mildred Pierce were interesting movies that showed her attempting to find the next phase of her movie career since the shop girl era of the 1930s was starting to wear thin. Strange Cargo is known as the final Clark/Crawford pairing.. but it was a well done movie with good performances from both. Susan and God ended up being Joan's role because Norma Shearer didn't want to play a mom of a teen and also because Greer Garson was considered so Crawford considered this a coup.. and I think she does well playing a somewhat against type character such as Susan. A Woman's face was meant for Greta Garbo.. but she'd retired so Joan managed to nab this movie and this movie was the first hint of the film noir stylings that dominated Crawford's career from the mid 40s to late 50s. And a movie that Bette Davis said she wished she could have done herself. When ladies meet is where Greer Garson and Crawford starred opposite one another.. almost seems like a pale imitation of the Shearer vs Crawford face up in the Women They all kissed the bride was an interesting screwball comedy that Crawford did after Lombard's death.. and I think she did well with the role and showed she had potential at being good at slapstick comedy. Reunion in France.. a rare pairing of John Wayne and Crawford... and this is one of the movies Crawford hated And her final movie.. which I'd love to see is Above Suspicion because it's her final MGM movie and that she wished had been directed by Hitchcock (and that would have been a good pairing).
