Joan Crawford plays herself
As Eva, matriarch of a wealthy Southern family, Joan Crawford essentially plays herself. Eva is glamorous, youth-obsessed, selfish, controlling, and maritally unfaithful. Early in the film, Eva seems to say and do hurtful things to her family, even when she derives no benefit from it; she has no apparent motivation other than to be mean. Her husband is a bitter alcoholic who stays in his room, rarely interacting with the family. When the film is almost over, there's a brilliant twist that makes you wonder which came first, Eva's antisocial behavior or her husband's? Is Eva evil or, as she says, merely lonely? Although most of the characters are unlikable, they are believable. Recommended for fans --- and foes --- of Joan Crawford, as well as fans of Gothics and film noir.
