I simply adore that scene when Joan Crawford slaps Jennifer, it's utterly poetic. Mrs. Crawford was an unstoppable bitch, you can't just ignore her female power...

More fun than probably any Joan Crawford movie. She fulfills all the expectations newcomers have of her--scenery chewing, bitchiness, bulldozing her way around, posing for the camera---but the surprise is always that she's damn good in the role, and not just some camp icon.
