Directed by Vincent Sherman
USA 1950
From director Vincent Sherman (Affair
in Trinidad) comes the classic drama Harriet Craig, starring Joan
Crawford (Strait-Jacket)
and Wendell Corey (Rear
Window). *** Harriet Craig is the third film version of George Kelly's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Craig’s Wife. Joan Crawford stars as the title character, a thoroughly selfish woman who prizes her house and her possessions above all else. Harriet Craig is even willing to spoil the business opportunities of her husband Walter (Wendell Corey) to avoid losing her precious home. When her self-involvement causes turbulence in the romantic life of her cousin (K.T. Stevens), and when her husband's eyes are finally opened to his wife's true nature, Harriet Craig is at long last hoist on her own petard. |

On their
Blu-ray,
Indicator use a linear PCM mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language. Harriet Craig
has few aggressive moments - ex. a smashed vase - and there is
unremarkable depth. The
haunting score was by George Duning (Houseboat,
Queen Bee,
Zombies
of the Mora Tau.

etc.) and
it sounds very clean with consistent dialogue
in the uncompressed transfer. Indicator offer optional English (SDH) subtitles on
their Region 'B'
Blu-ray.
The Indicator
Blu-ray
Vincent Sherman's Harriet Craig
has Joan Crawford as... a real evil biznatch. She shines as the
titular character; a bullying, self-centered, materialistic, and icy
housewife that many compare to her true off-screen personality. Perhaps
she just gave an exceptionally convincing performance. She did. Harriet
is a selfish liar - a psychopath consumed by her mistrust of men -
punishing her decent, acquiescing, husband (Wendell
Corey) and any within her toxic orbit. Another significant role in
Crawford's fascinating legacy. Harriet Craig
and
Queen Bee are fantastic titles and I'm so pleased it is a
company like Indicator putting them to Blu-ray |
