Film Description: 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.

    EVER!!!

  • What a waste of a wire hanger. They have so many uses other than life as hangers. Unclog a toilet or tub drain, unlock a car, makeshift antenna for tv or radio, just to name a few.

  • I kno that's not supposed to be funny, but that scene crax me up every time. This movie was soooo dramatic. Diana Scarwood greatly overacts! Still, I like this movie and its truly a classic.

  • @RagingBanebou Clearly you didn't learn the lesson. Their pointy edges warp clothes when left on them too long. Now bend over for your beating.

  • being hit with a wire hanger wouldn't hurt at all, unlike a wooden one

  • @RagingBanebou

    They can leave lines and unwanted creases in the shoulders of shirts and dresses.

  • Or animals for that matter...

  • I'm watching the Joan Crawford biography right now and her daughter describes this scene. WOW! At least Christina seems to turn out ok.

    I don't know the reason why she adopted those kids, but she treated them like shit!

  • I watched 2 seconds if this and it scared the crap out of me lol

  • I watched 3 seconds of this and it scared the crap out of me! Lol I don't wanna watch the rest
