Joan had originally hired actress Anne Helm fired and Diane Baker brought on because she knew Diane was NO great actress and wouldn't overshadow her.....William Castle, director, bowed to her decision.

This film is fabulously ALL about the scene where Joan gets all tipsy and flirty with the record player on and trying to hit on the younger guy. All that part needs is for Britney to slide in twerking. 😜

STRAIGHTJACKET isn't exactly a good movie, it is a very entertaining movie.

When I was a kid and watched her old movies on tv, she scared the shit out of me in every movie she did. Come to think of it, she still scares me when I think of her.

Can anyone tell me what is Lang/Crawford's last line in the clip at R20. I have listened to it a number of times but can't make it out.
At 3:50

Jesica Lange is a fine actress, but the real Joan Crawford was so much prettier. Even as she aged, makeup and eyebrows aside, she retained beautiful bone structure and the remains of a gorgeous woman.

Miss Joan was probably 70 years old when she made her last public appearance in 1974, and she looked so bad (bad wig, bad makeup) she retreated into seclusion. Jessica, at 75, still looks lovely despite all the wrinkles.

Lang looks like Thelma Ritter trying to portray Crawford in that clip at R20. Joan was still an attractive woman in 1964.
