I saw this movie this morning on TCM. All these lines in there about Joan Crawford being a beautiful woman. One was ' I can't believe he stood there shaking, hasn't he ever seen a beautiful woman before?' Joan had big bushy black eye brows, and even though it was in black and white, her hair I think was orange and she had a mannish looking jaw line. Don't know what criteria of beauty they were using in this movie but to me she looked like a short man in drag. There is a very good slap across the face scene too. It didn't look like a stage slap either, it looked like the real thing. The movie was very entertaining in an over the top campy way. Some of the lines were hysterical but not meant to be funny which made them even funnier. If you are into camp and a Joan Crawford fan you must see this one.
