March 23rd

To Hell In A Handbasket, 23rd of march, double feature, Held On Joan Crawford's actual birthday !!
feat.
Mommie Dearest (1981)

















Directed By: Frank Perry
Starring: Faye Dunaway

Mommie Dearest is a biopic based on the book of the same name written by Joan Crawford's adopted daughter Christina. It tells the story of Joan (Faye Dunaway) and Christina's troubled relationship and the emotional and physical abuse Christina endured from her psychotic mother.

Some speculation from Joan Crawford fans believe Christina's point of view is an exaggeration and Joan's other daughters, Cindy and Cathy refused to be depicted in the film.

Despite all this the film is a must see. Faye Dunaway steals the show, depicting Joan as some kind of neurotic,wild eyed, child-beating, banshee from hell.    Great stuff!....

Flash-forward to 1962: Jane (Bette Davis), still lives with the wheelchair-bound Blanche (Joan Crawford) intheir decaying mansion. When Jane isn't tormenting the helpless Blanche, she is plotting and planning her showbiz comeback…
