Title: Problematic Joan
Product review: This is a good collection. These are all good examples of Crawford's work. The trouble is trying to collect a group of her films. She had so many "periods" and styles throughout a long career. With the exception of MGM's The Women - and that not a typical vehicle, since it's a large ensemble cast - all of these films are from her Warner's phase. More than that, three of the five were made right in a row. Mildred Pierce, Humoresque, and Possessed are three of her best films, but including them all here doesn't help toward giving an overview of her film career. Purchasing Volume Two helps the situation; there are more from her earlier MGM days. (Though those three are still not her more important roles from that part of her career.)Aside from this issue, this is a collection to have, if you're an admirer of her work. Well-mounted, with all the extras.
