I feel she is the greatest actress ever lived. there is no other like her. she was just fully focused on her craft rather then the outside influences like all the actors of today. I cannot find anyone like her. Same like the opera singer maria callas.
Joan was amazing for her acting, her beauty and glamour, her strength, independence and her endurance, especially because she pulled herself up from nothing.
Never heard of "Revlon Mirror Theater" when I was a teen in the '50s--but sure am glad they featured Joan in one of their episodes. Anything starring the great Joan Crawford is "gold" so finding this is a wonderful surprise for me!
one of the main reasons Crawford was such a superb actress was because of her face, a skill she learned well as a "silent" actress, today, she's never given credit for this, she was one a very few who transitioned successfully to "sound" pictures.
YESSS ur so right, she did hv a few a silent pictures & did a BEAUTIFUL transition to the "Talkies" lol that's what they 1st called pictures with sound coming from the silent picture era
I've said before, Joan did her best acting with just her face. One scene in this she goes from anger to sorrow in a split second, all without a word spoken. You know just what she's thinking and feeling just by looking at her.
She NEVER got in front of a camera without giving whatever she had to give. Twenty six minutes of film time with a GREAT double twist ending to boot. The Golden Age of TV.
Spoiler Alert****** Script is somewhat silly tho. She thanks the dr then professes how TRULY HAPPY SHE MADE HER HUSBAND, etc., and that was after her husband left her for someone else! Lol
Adrian Christian She was brilliant in this......and she was actually beautiful in a natural way. She had 5 more years before her neck got thinker and she developed a jawl. Her husband was a jerk. The short film ends abruptly, but also gives to think all may well turn out in the end. A cure may be found, and if not, she dies in the hands of someone who really does love her. I wish it had been filmed better, or perhaps restoration is in order. I too wish it had been filmed in Technicolor.
That would take guts. After the way she was portrayed in Mommie Dearest, it's hard to imagine that someone would take a chance on a big screen biopic of her. Maybe Netflix? I could be wrong, and Mommie Dearest doesn't still have the same impact it did decades ago.
There are so many opinions about Joan that I don't think anyone knows the truth. Credit should be given to her. From lack of education and raised in poverty and abuse, she created "Joan Crawford," and she studied her craft from visiting sets in the silent days. I believe Christina Crawford's accounts, but I , who had wonderful parents, did things that would look horrendous in a book, The book is good. The movie is like a vignette-embellished- of Joan's misdeeds. Even Christina has said they were highly exaggerated in the movie. I would like to see a biopic that focused on her horrible childhood, and how by sheer will, turned herself into a high class lady.
What a great performance by Joan Crawford, I just love her acting… hope to see more of these short versions of great movies, it is a rarity and a privilege to have watched this…😊
And this is one of many performances that make her my most favorite actress of all time. She has a way of making one feel what she is feeling every time. What an amazing star
Bette would laugh, "not a full-length feature, but on TE-LE-VISION - and she's not the one who's dying, it's her husband. All she has to do is smile and cry throughout the whole thing = Faye Dunaway could do that with not much thought"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
18:38 - "and I have enough venom and hatred in me to do anything to keep him - BECAUSE I love him" - This was broadcast 10 years before I was born, yet I'm still jealous I didn't get to write that line myself.
This is a brilliant little play. Thanks for posting it. I've seen it before and am glad to find it again. The ending is surprising and terrific. Of course, Joan Crawford is outstanding.
Absolutely Stupendous!!!!! ❤ Joan Crawford we love you!!! This had more twists and turns imaginable, and a total shocker thrown in X2!!! This deserves at Standing Ovation for Acting, Plot and method of execution!! Well Done from every possible aspect. Thank You for sharing this hidden masterpiece 😊. BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT ❤️❤️❤️!!!!( NO P INTENDED)...
Thanks for posting this. Nice, and rare to be able to see Joan Crawford in this little play. I was surprised to find it. I didn't know that she had done much television.
Very well done. I love Joan Crawford movies. It has a cleverly shocking ending, but I'd rather have a doctor who would be honest with me if I were really sick. I believe in the power of prayer and a miracle-working God.
Today it would take them two and a half hours to tell that story and they’d make a mess of it, it’s so efficiently and brilliantly done here. Great twist, utterly preposterous storyline, but if Joan believes it, you believe it, she carries the movie and you, right to the top.
True to the era. A different planet.. I would have been sent to bed before this came on 😅. Gid bless Joan and Bette.. they kept working long as they could, not easy lives 💐💐💐
How can a doctor say a person will die when it’s not true? I didn’t quite understand what the husband ‘s affair had to do with anything. They seemed to love each other at the beginning... the doctor was in love with her all along? The story is weird. Anyway, J Crawford is such a great actress that any story with her is worth watching.
@@steveweinstein3222 actually I think the Dr. had told David she was dying and husband knew Dr. loved her. So he turned to the other woman to gave Joan and Dr. a chance to find love before she died. Thereby husband wouldn't be alone after she died. Husband was the selfless one. (or maybe I'm just being a romantic... lol )
This was wonderful! But sad. Strange surprise storyline twist at the end I certainly did not see coming! Another Academy Award performance by Ms. Crawford. I love all of her work even up until the end of her career in the early 70s. I do wish someone would do a real, true-to-life, documentary, bio-pic about Joan Crawford that would go into great detail about her life with no lies.
We salute you. Crawford!! You are the authorized diva!!! And her appearance reminds me of my late. Mom. Maxine she. Joan emulates through. Joan on the screen!! A die hard. T. C. Movies !!! Rhonda. Prater 🌹. Merced. California. They don't make em like that anymore!
There is a 1960? Radio interview with Christina which is VERY telling. I found it on utube recently. I saw the film mommie dearest many years ago but never read the book. Recently I found great audios of interviews with Joan, one of which was in a town/city hall. I also found a chat show interview of Christina in the 80s/90s and she gave me the chills, not just her eyes but her whole demeanor. I also think it is important to know that Joan's relationship with her youngest children was good.
Yes. It is very common for an abuser to pick out one child as a scapegoat . My mother did it to me-my sister was the golden child, I was terrible to her no matter how well I did in school and activities.
She goes from a calm delicate breeze to a raging windstorm with hints of hurricane possibilities. Then “BAM” it’s over ! Real tears , real emotion , true kindness . Tragic script though. How much pain does one woman have to take in her life. At least the husband could have suffered as well considering his disloyalty to a woman who appears to be dedicated, loyal, kind , loving and generous. Reminds me of my own pathetic suffering due to the selfishness of another. But hey …. at least this short film gave me some perspective. Joan Crawford never struck me as the type to weaken when life threw hardballs at her , a nice reminder for all of us [humans] perhaps. Thanks for posting ! 💯👍🏻🌹
If only “Rain” had been a success; her audience wasn’t prepared to see her in a classic role. They preferred those vacuous glamour turns that characterized her 1930s career. I was shocked by how bad those films were; the production code made it even worse - no wonder she ended up in trouble by the end of the decade, fighting for better roles. “Rain” was fine; dated now, but her performance was commendable.
If you carefully read her bio, and what she went through at a young age, your respect will grow for this woman. Was she perfect? No. But she fought her way out of dire circumstances, kept her courage, learned her craft and made a successful career for herself. Perhaps in the end, people will judge her for the totality of her life...
Joan Crawford is a marvelous talent. My fave B/W movie is "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" Starring my 2 fave actresses, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. I am so glad they teamed up and gave us that wonderful movie. Back when doctor's actually cared about their patients lives as a whole.
Disclaimer Alert: I'm a huge fan of Joan Crawford. I admire her talent and determination, her work ethic and countless examples of her generosity, her appreciation of her fans and most of all her loyalty to her friends. As a gay man I was in awe of how she stood by her friend and fellow actor William Haines at a time in their industry when such allegiance took real integrity and courage. In contrast Christina's legacy and claim to fame is that she was motivated by money to exploit her famous, deceased mother in the pursuit of notoriety and personal gain. I trust history will remember them appropriately.
That was messed up. The doctor was obviously a psychopath who enjoyed lying to his patients and torturing them psychologically. Manipulates Joan into letting her husband walk out on her. And then has the nerve to tell Joan how much he "loves" her. Talk about medical malpractice. All in all, a very enjoyable twenty-six minutes.
Despite a cheesy story for 1950s television, she delivers a skillful performance. She knows how far to go with emotional intensity without going overboard. And it would’ve been easy to ham it up…
It would've been much better for the doctor to have told her husband that she was going to die, and not to tell her and just treat her lovingly for the remainder of her life. Maybe he would've held off on getting involved with someone else and would not have wanted to take the remaining time for granted and hurt her right before she died. It wouldn't have been too long before he'd be free to start a new relationship after she was gone, and he wouldn't have had to feel the guilt of hurting her.
Actually, I’ve heard that they thought this was a way to spare the patient and make their last days easier without the threat of death constantly in their minds
She doesn't deserve happiness, she's only the wife! Did Doctor's really treat patients that way? This is a scenario often played out in these older movies. Great featurette, thanks for sharing. Didn't anyone ever think of the patient's never dying soul's condition?
Watching Joan Crawford acting is a privilege....She will always be one of the greatest actresses to grace the “silver screen.”
I feel she is the greatest actress ever lived. there is no other like her. she was just fully focused on her craft rather then the outside influences like all the actors of today. I cannot find anyone like her. Same like the opera singer maria callas.

Great acting! Joan always delivers!
Joan did a wonderful job in this performance switching emotions with just a look.
She will always remain at the top!
Joan did more in 26 minutes than most actors can do in 260! I am in bits, thank you so much for sharing, you have made my day, that was wonderful.

@@unclebbmunson1084 No, Joan was born in 1906. The 1910 Census lists Lucille La Suer as 4 years old.
And the only thing she had done was dental work. No plastic surgery ever. She just took very good care of herself
Beautiful Joan Crawford a brilliant exceptional actress. Joan is one of my favorite actress of all time 💞
We need a true authentic biopic on Crawford to be released theatrically. An honest account has never been done with respect to her life and work.

She was brilliant in this......and she was actually beautiful in a natural way. She had 5 more years before her neck got thinker and she developed a jawl. Her husband was a jerk. The short film ends abruptly, but also gives to think all may well turn out in the end.
A cure may be found, and if not, she dies in the hands of someone who really does love her.

More than one twist and turn in this story, Joan was great, as always !
Another wonderful performance by Joan Crawford.
What a great movie
In brief, this was Joan's "Dark Victory."
Bette would laugh, "not a full-length feature, but on TE-LE-VISION - and she's not the one who's dying, it's her husband. All she has to do is smile and cry throughout the whole thing = Faye Dunaway could do that with not much thought"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Astounding actress...great storyline...Joan Crawford delivers in this short film above and beyond.👍👌👏
She always was a complete pro at crying!! So Real so Crawford 💖
And looked beautiful while at it
Miss Crawford could take any part, even this cheesy soap opera, and make it shine. What an actress, what a performer!
Gouda 'nuff for me!
Yes, she always elevated the material, regardless of how good it was. She really deserves credit for that.
She really made this work
No one, but no one, could give you a "slap down" like Miss Joan Crawford !!!! Love me some Joan on the screen !!!
Brilliant actress!
I enjoyed this featurette! Joan looked very "refreshed". Thanks for posting this!
Another Joan Crawford treasure put on RUclips.
Dang it man what a performance I just love this woman so much. She's is simply the best. THE BEST
her look here is perfect. hair, clothes, makeup, etc. acting 1000% on point. should have gotten an award.
One of the best performances by lovely Joan Crawford. "Isn't that what we all really care about? The people we love..."
Joan is one of the GREATS!
and always kept her figure.
What an awesome performance from screen legend Joan Crawford !
Holy crap! That twist is amazing! I love the ending! The first time I've very clapped for a old film! Go ahead Joan Crawford! Go ahead!

“You won’t fail, not my David”
