Movie Reviews of This Woman is Dangerous
Movie Review: "Wonderful This Film Has A Home On DVD"
Summary: 5 Stars
"This Woman Is Dangerous" continues Joan Crawford's foray into her Warner Brother's melodrama period, but it falls short of being nothing more than a movie starring Joan Crawford. The movie just doesn't jell. A shoddy story of a woman, played by Crawford, who is a female gangster who is trying to abolish her past and change her ways. Crawford runs through her scenes and the viewer can tell she is not enjoying herself in this role. There is no direction to speak of and the script is pretty dull. This movie doesn't feature any melodramatic scenes that are evident in other Crawford 1950's films, but it is wonderful that this rare gem has finally found a home on the home video market. As some reviewers have ponted out Warner Brother's has released over a dozen never-before-released titles of Joan's on DVD through their website. Among the other rare titles available are "Mannequin", "Ice Follies of 1939", "The Shining Hour", "Possessed" with Clark Gable", and "Goodbye, My Fancy". All the titles look great with the exception of "Possessed", as the film looks grainy and dirty at times.
"This Woman Is Dangerous" would be Joan's last Warner Brother's film until "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" in 1962. "This Woman" would be followed by Joan's Oscar nominated role in the excellent "Sudden Fear", in which she co-starred with Jack Palance. In 1973 when asked by an interviewer what her worst film was Joan admitted to detesting "This Woman Is Dangerous". She also told her biographer Roy Newquist, "I must have been awfully hungry. I guess I was. Kids in schools, the house...nothing was right about "This Woman Is Dangerous". A shoddy story, a cliche script, no direction to speak of. The thing just blundered along. I suppose I could have made it better, but it was one of those times that I was so disgusted with everything I just shrugged it off and went along with it. That is unforgivable isn't it?"
This movie also features no bonus features and comes in standard form.
