This comes across as one of the most unintentionally funny movies I've seen in years. However, I wouldn't take this as a bad straight drama, I think it's over the top melodrama, a biting satire on the issue of who really wears the pants in the marriage.
Whether or not Joan Crawford lay siege on the set is anyone's guess. I wasn't around then and shouldn't speculate. However, her character does so on the house and in the lives of everyone who dares cross her path - from her husband's longtime housekeeper to his best friend, even to the little boy next door. The claws are sharpened and are not about to retract.
I shouldn't say any more about this movie except to say it had me cringing and laughing from the opening credits. I could almost hear the clanging of jail cell doors when the opening title sequence segues to a shot of the Craig house.
Feeling lonely? You won't after you see this movie.
