Sinopsis: Biopic de la vida de Joan Crawford según un libro escrito por la hija adoptiva de la gran actriz. Interpretada por Faye Dunaway, en su día obtuvo muy malas críticas, pero con el tiempo se fue convirtiendo en un clásico "camp" y hoy la película tiene numerosos seguidores. (FILMAFFINITY)
Comentario: Portentosa caracterización de Faye Dunaway (que disfruta con estos papeles de vívora).
It is 1939, Joan Crawford is one of Hollywood's biggest stars. But she tells boyfriend lawyer Greg Savitt that she isn't content living in her Brentwood mansion with just her devoted secretary Carol Ann and housekeeper Helga. Greg arranges for Joan to adopt a baby girl. Joan names her Christina and promises "to give her all the things I never had." But Joan is obsessed with perfection, and Christina finds it impossible to live up to her mother's standards (IMDb).
AMG Synopsis: When her adoptive mother Joan Crawford died in 1977, erstwhile actress/author Christina Crawford and her brother Christopher were left out of Joan Crawford's will, "for reasons which are well known to them." Industryites have suggested that it may have been this posthumous act of rejection rather than an alleged lifetime of parental abuse that inspired Christina Crawford to pen her scathing autobiography Mommie Dearest. The 1981 film version of this tome was evidently meant to be taken seriously, but the operatic direction by Frank Perry and the over-the-top portrayal of Joan Crawford by Faye Dunaway (whose makeup is remarkable) has always seemed to inspire loud laughter whenever and where-ever the film is shown. According to the film (and the book that preceded it), Joan Crawford was a licentious, child-beating behemoth, who stalked and postured through life as though it was one of her own pictures-more Strait-jacket than Mildred Pierce. This is the film with the notorious "wire coat hanger" scene, just in case you need a reminder. Surprisingly, one emerges from Mommie Dearest with more sympathy for the monstrous but intensely vulnerable Crawford than for her whining daughter (played as an adult by Diana Scarwid, and as a child by Mara Hobel). Our favorite scene: Joan Crawford dazedly replacing her ailing daughter in the cast of a daytime TV soap opera.
AMG Review: One of the most difficult roles for an actor to take is that of another actor. The problems that type of role entails are exponentially greater when a movie star plays another movie star. How does someone who has become famous for having a particular persona effectively communicate some other famous person's persona? Faye Dunaway plays Joan Crawford like a woman who is not playing a public persona, but has so contorted herself in order to be famous that she has no idea who she really is. While there is a fascinating psychological problem to play with in that conception, the direction and screenplay are so over-the-top, so full of the prurient thrill of Hollywood Babylon gossip, Dunaway is left out to dry. Very few times in history has an actress worked this hard and been given no help from the director or the other actors. The film is not interested in a character, it is interested in a freak show, and Dunaway so commits to the performance that she elevates the film from forgettable mess into one of the all-time classic turkeys. Many people find it easy to laugh at Mommie Dearest, but Faye Dunaway probably is not one of them.
