I can't really add much except to say that not only is this one of the black & white films that really holds up, but Rosalind Russell is very powerful and so convincing in the role that I cried! Interesting to compare to the later Joan Crawford vehicle. ...

In a way, CRAIG's WIFE, directed by the insanely intelligent Dorothy Arzner, tells the story of a young, terrified girl, Ethel Landreth, whose mother has been in decline for many years and is always staging deathbed scenes that have left poor Ethel on ...
