5.0 out of 5 stars Pleased To See A Volume 2, 28 Mar 2008
By David R. Bishop "Bishbaby" (Plymouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Joan Crawford Collection 2 [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
The five films here are:

Sadie Mckee (1934) - A classic early Joan Crawford 'rags to riches' tale. The character is feisty but keeps her dignity and her moral standards.

Strange Cargo (1940) - Her final pairing with Clark Gable. Unusual but very watchable tale of a prison escape. Look out for an Oscar and Bosey thing going on with two of the fellow escapees. Ever so bold for its time.

A Womans Face (1941) - Often said to mark the beginning of her 'decade of suffering'. A woman with a disfigured face finds a cure, but her problems are only just beginning. The intensity of her performance, and the unfluffy suject, is a pre-cursor of her excellent film noir works at Warners a few years later.

Flamingo Road (1949) - An attempt to revive her earlier 'poor girl makes good, then hits problems' formula. I love it, but dare I say it, she was a little too old for the role. With her own brand of magnetism, she somehow pulls it off.

Torch Song (1953) - Her first full colour movie. She plays a broadway musical actress who can be difficult, and embarks on a stormy relationship with her blind piano player.

The discs are full of extras, including cartoons and shorts, contemporary to the films. There are some radio broadcasts, including Bette Davis, and also Ida Lupino doing 'A Womans Face'.

There is a short feature on 'Flamingo Road' about Joan's time at Warner Brothers. It is fascinating, but apart from FR, it is mostly about the movies on Volume 1. The other four titles here were MGM productions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, 24 Mar 2008
By Ms. A. Montague "annie" (surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Joan Crawford Collection 2 [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Shame that I had to buy this in region 1 due to Warner Bros not releasing it in region 2, apart from that this is a wonderful set. It comes in a neat package with stunning pictures of Miss Crawford. The films them selfs are great, especially A Womans Face, which shows Miss Crawford in one of her finest acting roles. Also included is Torch Song which was Joan's first full colour movie, although the the film is not as great as the others it's full colour makes up for that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Crawford the 2nd, 19 Jun 2008
By Simon Bugler (Cardiff,UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Joan Crawford Collection 2 [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Joan's 2nd collection is another very good package-not quite up to the quality of the first region 1 collection- I rate these movies as:
1 Flamingo Road 5 stars
2 Sadie Mckee 4 stars
3 A Woman's Face 3 stars
4 Strange Cargo 3 stars
5 Torch Song 3 stars
If you're a fan of Joan's camp movies though, Torch Song is def top of the pile- finally- a plea to the makers of the documentaries- please do not include that nasty daughter of Joan's in any future DVDs-don't they realise that Joan's fans hate that woman?
