Diane Baker played a superb daughter to JC... TWICE!!! Joan mustve liked her and Diane mustve been brilliant at letting Joan be the Star... Bravo to her. Great film! ❤

As a actress Joan Crawford is still one of the best, her facial expressions says it all. I love her movies.

Joan Crawford showed more in her body language walking up the stsirs towards the end than many actors do in an entire movie.

I think Joan grew into age more beautifully than most starlets

Never knew this movie existed. What a gem! Joan was superb, I could tell exactly what her character was thinking by her body language and facial expression. Clothes, hair, jewelry, exquisite! Thank you for this upload.

It's interesting how the upper class ladies wear luxurious fur stoles, in what appears to be a tropical climate, just to go downtown. Joan looks amazing in the scene where she's dressed like a stainless steel sword: Grey sheath dress with chinchilla-fur trimmed short sleeves, chinchilla stole, a see-through plastic handbag with silvery trim...and that hair! It looks like they dyed her hair the same shade of grey to match the furs. These old films are a time capsule. Thank you.

I wish this became a weekly TV nighttime soap, like the DYNASTY or DALLAS of the 1960s!

Joan Crawford had perfect posture. She stood and seated herself without using her hands, just as my Mother (aged 72) still does. They must not be teaching that in finishing schools these days.

Joan is stunning in this movie. Her powerful, assertive presence alone makes this movie worth watching! Diane Baker is great too.

Joan had such presence. A true star!

I love almost anything with Joan Crawford in it, she was a great actress and this movie is wonderful! I have to say, Paul Burke was quite handsome in his time! ❤

The young boy with the sailboat is Keith Green. He was one of the most gifted and talented writers of Christian music. He passed away in 1982 at the age of 28 from a plane crash, along with two of his kids.

Miss Crawford was so elegant in her posture and her walk. Such class!

oh i LOVE THE GORGEOUS GLAMOROUS RICH LAVISH FURNISHED houses and the pretty clothes and stunning jewelry!!!

Mrs. Crawford, superb as always... first class actress, stunning at every age.

It’s really nice to see so many people today who recognize the amazing actress that she was. We all have two sides to us but when one side is embellished then it’s blown out of proportion and it’s not fair or even real but it hurts deeply. I’m sure the spirit of Joan is feeling a sense of respect for so many appreciating her work. If you get a chance to see her in an interview you will fall in love with her charming and down to earth personality.

God broke the mould when he made Miss Joan Crawford; she was such a fine actor.💐This movie? - a treat.💐

I LOVE Ms Crawford, she was an excellent actress and made this film awesome to watch

Joan Crawford is breathtakingly beautiful ❤

Fantastic film and Joan looked FABULOUS!

Great movie. Crawford was one of the greatest actress ever. Diane Baker was excellent, saw her in Strait Jacket with Joan Crawford . Baker had a good teacher to show how it was done , and Crawford did an excellent job of it.👍👍👍❤

I love Crawford movies , in this little known gem her beautiful coloring really stands out. Those huge gorgeous sapphire blue eyes! The jewels and classy wardrobe perfectly showcased her mature beauty. I wish she had done the kind of big soap operas like Lana Turner did in the late 50s-60s...those wonderful Sirk films. btw- Charles Bickford has been around since the early talkies. Greta Garbos 'talking' debut, 1930s, 'Anna Christie' had Bickford as her leading man. He was very effective as the gruff Dad in 1962s 'Days of Wine & Roses'.

It's rare to see Joan in colour. Such intense BLUE eyes !

She was absolutely gorgeous. When color came to film, people all over the world got to see those beautiful blue eyes. Wow. 💕

No actress can show so much pride, elegance and selfconfidence on the screen like Joan Crawford did, she truly was a most beautiful lady, one of a kind

Somewhat slow at times, but a high quality classic film and Joan is an unforgetable actress. There's such an air of authority about her - wow!

Such poise and grace as always.

I hope these types of movies back, without violence, without graphical abusing, without sex, just a beautiful story, now hollywood movies are discusting, even comedy ones

Amazing! I didn’t even know this film existed. Joan looks amazing.

Joan Crawford was one of the greatest movie stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, well into the years that followed for many decades after the Studio System ended. A truly amazing career.

Shucks, what a absolutely FANTASTIC FILM! This has got to be one of Joan Crawfords finest performances with so many levels of depth in her characterization. Every actor in this film is Stellar! Thanks for this pure Gem of filmmaking. Everytime I see such a wonderful film I always see God smiling, impressed with his children's skills that tell of the human condition and life experiences. From the writers to production assistants to actors to producers to sound to lights and everyone on and off set.

❤ What ever Crawfords reputation this movie shows what a stupendous actress she was.

Wouldn't Joan have been wonderful on Dynasty as Alexis's mama?

On a personal level Joan Crawford really liked Diane Baker she co-starred with her in 'Straight Jacket" campy entertaining role.

I'll never think again that an hour and eight minutes isn't long enough to make a great movie.

Joan has that type of glamour, for want of a better word, a style was was her own and always looking with those eyes. You don't really know if she wants to kiss you or eat you. Totally has full control of every scene she ever played, What a lady!

If you ever wondered how JC might have looked, her figure, an upscale wardrobe, mature, refined, and perfectly manicured and stunningly coiffed and in her uncompleted role in “Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte”, this movie gives us a wonderful glimpse. She would have been stellar in that role as it would have been in 1964- I believe-one year after this role. She would have looked like this, but as the HHSC role progressed, she would get into that maniacal character and be murdered in the end, crushed to death with her lover by Bette Davis. What a travesty she didn’t complete it. She may have at least been nominated for an Oscar-maybe even won it bc BD performance was pretty harsh and one dimensional throughout. JC role was more of an acting “tour de force” and might have caught the attention of the academy-especially if she also brought to the character this stunning look she had in this film.

I thought this movie was really good -- where has it been all my life? Interesting story, well acted and that salt and pepper hair looked GREAT on Joan, and the styles, too.

I'm so glad someone posted this video. Maybe I'm too much of a JC fan, but there are times in this film that I feel she does some of her best acting. And she looks great for almost 60!

Talk about stage presence. She is an epic ikon in America. They dont make them like that anymore. REST IN PEACE to a brilliant actress.

Great little gem! The camera & make-up man really liked Joan in this early 60's film. She looks quite beautiful and elegant. The cars are spectacular as well as her wardrobe. Cheers!!!

Crawford is like a rare vintage wine.

Tapping play. Joan is always a pleasure. Know I will love it. Thanks for making this available. Happy New Year!

Always loved watching movies with Bickford & Carlson. Excellent actors...highly under-rated. This was when actual plots, scripts and trained actors existed. There are a few today, but not many! Watch Crawford in "Mildred Pierce"....an excellent example of Crawford's ability!

Joan really kept herself in excellent shape from head to toe. Amazing.

Outstanding Movie, Two Strong Performance By Two Wonderful Actresses,This Is Definitely One My Favert Movies. Thank You Most Sincerly,Michael B.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Joan Crawford is a powerhouse of a actress. Her performances are always brilliant. Thank you for this viewing.

Joan Crawford is lovely, Diane Baker, she's beautiful too.

Well done film. Joan never lost her touch. In fact it seems to have become more nuanced as she continued throughout her career. It's always good to see Paul Burke and especially Charles Bickford with his great voice and narration. Very much enjoyed the c. 1963 automobiles.

I am liking Joan more and more! She looked regale when she walked down that staircase! Great movie!

What a magnificent actress! What a charisma!

What a great performance by Joan Crawford. She is as beautiful and powerful as ever, conveying so many feelings without a single word. Magnificent!

Wow! Excellent movie and Crawford was magnificent.

Never heard of this before. A good movie. Shows Joan Crawford how she liked and demanded to be seen. This was filmed almost immediately after the movie straight jacket. Again with Diane baker Joan must have liked her

Joan! So polished, so poised! Her eyes speak volumes! Great cast, thanks for sharing.🎥💖

Such a powerful actress , The clothes are the epitome of fashion for me ………….👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌟👀👵🏽☮️🙏🏽❣️

What a star. Joan Crawford looks fabulous.

What an incredible 1961 Thunderbird, lilac or whatever they called the color.

I only ever saw this movie on TV in 1974 when my brother and I got up really early for a long driving trip later that day! Elements of it have stayed in my memory ever since ! Haha!

From my thinking, if this pilot was ever picked up to series, Joan wouldn’t have been in the series. She would just have been the guest star for the pilot, but the series would have followed Paul Burke and the law firm. I don’t see how Joan’s storyline could have continued, it seemed more the case of the week, which would be wrapped up in an hour and then onto the next the following episode. To me this is Joan’s last classic “Joan role.” No slumming it here. She is dressed to the nines, with furs and jewels and looks STUNNING throughout. Her hair looks fantastic. None of that strawberry blonde stuff and all those horrible tight up dos with face lifting braids like she had in Berserk. Joan’s not in a horror role, and she shows she still has it. Full of confidence and she commands the screen! Joan deserved more A list prestige roles later in her career.

Wow at her wardrobe, jewellery, make-up, hair and the fine acting!

No Two Ways about it, Joan Crawford was an Absolute 💯 Percent Goddess in EVERY.SINGLE.WAY, In My Opinion, the Single Best Thing about the Craft to which She Dedicated Her Life, from My Earliest Memory, thru My Childhood, as a Young Man and Now a Middle Aged Man, She has Filled My Life with Immeasurable Joy 😍❤️💎💄🪞🎭🎬📽️🏆👑

What an absolutely AWSOME performance from the Great Joan Crawford ! Ms Crawford began her career in silent movies and it was there she developed the incrediable technique of using her face and eyes to convery a wide range of emotions without the use of words. She was the consumate "pro" , and it's good to see her in this 1963 TV movie still in good form.

All those fabulous dresses and hair styles. Crawford looked wonderful

Wow-Crawford is really quite elegant looking in this!

Joan looking gorgeous as usual. The camera loved her.

I've been watching older movies since i was a young girl, the beautiful cloths, the beautiful hair styles, beautiful everything. The leading lady Joan Crawford was always at her BEST. Joan Crawford was an absolute treasure. Adore her acting, adore her perfances. ❤

Melodrama with a strange plot and a really good cast. Have always enjoyed Paul Burke, ditto for Diane Baker. Nice to see Charles Bickford - haven't seen him in decades. And great to see Joan Crawford as always.

Excellent movie! Paul Burke very handsome. When listening to the music, it sounded like The Way We Were, then it would wonder off. Love Joan Crawford!

This would've worked as a series in the 80s, like Dallas or Dynasty. Joan is outstanding here. She would've been great in Peyton Place.

I ADORE Joan her talent is beyond the natural! She was MAGNIFICENT!

Crawford is stunning as always. Diane Baker is breathtakingly beautiful too. Thank you for the upload. Best wishes from Iran.

Classic Crawford. A wonderful lesson in acting from one of the greats.

Joan Crawford still a fine actress to watch.

joan looking very good !!!! live her movies

As she was in all her films; Miss Crawford was awesome 🏆🍷🍾🍷🏆

She really is incredible. Thank you for the upload. I haven't watched Joan in anything for a long time and this is just what I needed. She was just superb!

Joan Crawford 💎

This could have been a Peyton Place style soap, and with Joan at the helm, an early Dynasty or Falcon Crest nightime schedule

Joan looked magnifent in her grey sheath dress, stole and her beautifully coiffed hair. I love the monochromatic look. Stunning!

This little gem popped upon my radar and I really enjoyed it. Joan Crawford is one of the best American actresses ever showcased and I am a huge fan.

They could have gone out at night, the theater, dinner, dancing. No need to be a shut in. Joan looked great in this, by the way.

An exquisitely classy performance in this little gem of a film by Joan!

I didn't realize Diane Baker was the senator in Silence of the Lambs

Interesting Movie! The daughter was in Hitchcock’s Marnie, great acting by Joan Crawford!

How beautiful Joan looks. 💯

stunningly elegant, the great Joan Crawford is more stunning at this age and still has her famous eyebrows

GREAT little movie!! Joan at her finest. That grey emsemble is terrific. Thanks for posting .

Joan looks stunning with silver hair and her blue eyes. She reminds me of Lady Tremaine, Cinderella’s Stepmother.

Great movie! Joan Crawford also portrayed a loving, caring mother in the movie Mildred Pierce, where her daughter turns on her. Another great movie. Love that silver and gray chinchilla stole and suit. And those jewels 💎!!

Well, i didn't know about this either.... Classic Nice!!!💖

There it is 37:15 Nobody could lay hands like Joan a nice double handed slap slap 👐🏼 Joan Crawfords hands were golden gloves in Hollywood 🙌🏼 we like how she slapped Vita's face in Mildred Pierce.

beautiful clothes and so relevant today. Thank you

Beautiful Joan Crawford.....what more is there to say?

I saw the names of the actors/actresses and knew.... this was going to be a good movie. They(actors/actresses) back then knew how to choose roles. Something that a lot of them TODAY hasn't learned yet. Thanks for sharing 😊

A fine bit of melodrama. Worth it for Crawford's double-slap of the daughter! Had to watch that moment 4 times I enjoyed it that much! And boy does Crawford look fantastic in this! Thank you for uploading this small gem

What a great show! Solid story line, fine cast, everything that would make it a successful TV show at the time! Why did it never make the tube??

Thanks for the upload. High quality as usual. Joans hair looks like when she was at the Academy Awards for Baby Jane. Keep'em coming my friend. You always have the best videos!!!!! A+++++++++++++++++++++++

Very good movie, from beginning to end. Top-notch acting, directing, writing...the whole nine yards. Diane Baker was strikingly beautiful; Ms. Crawford, elegant & poised, as always; and Paul Burk, so very handsome. On another note, there's just something about Joan Crawford and her physique, the way she walks, her posture, the way she carries herself, and even her style of dress that reminds me of the lovely Whitney Houston. Both so elegant & poised, legends in their own right. Thanks so much for this upload. Much appreciated!
