		(1950, Warner Bros., 103 min.) This fantastic film noir fable, a thinly-veiled version of the life story of gangsters’ moll Virginia Hill, is perhaps an even truer depiction of the real Joan Crawford than Mommie Dearest. Right up there with Mildred Pierce as one of Crawford’s finest Warner Bros. melodramas. Dir. Vincent Sherman. Scr. Harold Medford & Jerome Weidman, story by Gertrude Walker. With Steve Cochran, Kent Smith, and veteran Joan-foil David Brian. 35mm print courtesy of Warner Classics.
		(1947, Warner Bros., 108 min.) Joan Crawford plays a nurse driven mad when the man she loves (Van Heflin) spurns her advances. This tour de force for Joan, stylishly directed by Curtis Bernhardt, earned her yet another Oscar nomination. With Raymond Massey, Geraldine Brooks, and a terrific Franz Waxman score. Scr. Silvia Richards and Ranald MacDougall, story by Rita Weiman. 35mm print courtesy of Warner Classics.
