Mommie Dearest is a film that was reviled when first released 35 years ago and many say it ruined star Faye Dunaway's career as she plays Joan Crawford to the point that one truly believes Crawford is on the screen. However, I believe the film should be reviewed as substantive film work and not as as a piece of trash filmmaking. Faye Dunaway is formidable in the role and I'm striving to discern where all the controversy lay way back in the day. This film brings you on one heck of a ride as regards Old Hollywood.
