A thriller that blends film noir with domestic melodrama, this 1945 movie starring Joan Crawford is a very different beast compared to the more recent HBO TV miniseries, but it’s just as great in its own right.
This camp classic-slash-disaster would have been a pretty forgettable movie if not for Faye Dunaway‘s unhinged, all-guns-blazing performance that somehow transcends the conventional ideas of “good” or “bad” acting. It is truly something else.
