Ms Crawford's neighborhood
Oct. 20th, 2009 09:33 pmTonight on Turner Classic Movies, I caught the end of William Castle's Straight-jacket, in which Joan Crawford plays a paroled ax murderer. When decapitated bodies start piling up around the neighborhood, guess who gets blamed. Diane Baker, as her daughter, gets to chew on the scenery in a style that must have made Joan proud. The crowning moment of this oeuvre of Cinema came after the ending credits, when, after a few moments of wondering what was wrong with the Columbia Studio logo, I realized what it was.
Lady Columbia had no head.
