I get the impression that I'm not the only one on this board that's into them...
Apart from anything with Bette, Joan or John Waters' involvement, I have to say that I do love the original version of Stepford Wives (not the modern remake - why do they bother?)
Every time I go to the supermarket nowadays, I have the most terrible urge to put on a big floppy hat and refer to perfect strangers as Bobby or Joanne, whilst loitering round the cleaning products aisle...
i am a true fan of the great Diva, the Empress of Emotion, Joan Crawford. so it is with mixed feelings that i recommend her movies as camp. everyone has seen the obvious ones. you have not lived till youve seen *Harriet Craig*, *Female on the Beach* and *Torch Song*. *Strait-Jacket* and *Berserk* are also good. *Sudden Fear*, *Autumn Leaves* and *Johnny Guitar* are for the thoughtfull viewer who is ready to see a Hollywood veteran show you how its done!
anyone who thinks they like Crawford should take a look at her earlier movies as well. Crawford was white-hot in the late 20s/early 30s, much like Madonna was in the 80s. Joan became a star in the silent era. *Our Dancing Daughters* and *Our Modern Maidens* are two excellent Crawford silents released on video. *Possessed*(with Clark Gable), *Dancing Lady*, *Chained*, *Rain*, *Sadie McKee* and *Letty Lynton* show us a supple and radiant Crawford. Crawford in the 30s stood for Strength, Cheekbones, Lips, and Eyes for DAYS, with a dash of freckles and a killer athletic body. everyones days can be brighter with a little more Crawford. btw, THIS is what a *Star* looks like...
