Product: Sudden Fear [VHS]
Rating: 5.0
Forget Mommie Dearsest screaming about wire hangers, or drag queens making her a joke, and finally see the real Joan Crawford
Forget everything you have ever heard about Joan Crawford (good or bad) and watch "Sudden Fear." Crawford, at 47, delivers one her greatest performances of her 45 year career. To denny that Crawford couldn't be as good as Bette Davis (or better) is bull, or she wouldn't have been able to have more time in the spot light than Davis, especially as she grew older. "Sudden Fear" is filled with an excellent cast all around and the suspense builds up slowly, then the confrontation between Joan Crawford and Jack Palance's characters reaches it's height. The only thing I didn't like was that there were no special features, but the film itself is perfect. There are few Crawford films on DVD, this is a must have for not only fans of hers, but people who just like watching a good movie, especially film noir fans.
