Can;t forget the film's:
"Movie Movie":
Movie Movie is a 1978 musical comedy film directed by Stanley Donen. Movie Movie consists of two short films, both starring the husband-and-wife team of George C. Scott and Trish Van Devere, with a fake movie trailer sandwiched in between them.

PER Best of Everything Joan Crawford:
Torch Song. MGM, 1953. Directed by Charles Walters, 90 minutes.
MGM. 90 minutes. US release: 10/23/53.
Awards: 1954 Best Supporting Actress nomination for Marjorie Rambeau.
Joan's return to MGM after 10 years, and her first appearance in Technicolor. She plays musical star "Jenny Stewart" and performs a blackface number, among other of the film's oddities, which include a party Jenny throws with the only guests being men in blue suits. Also starring Michael Wilding (then married to Liz Taylor), Gig Young, and Marjorie Rambeau (who received an Oscar nomination as Jenny's down-to-earth ma).
Says Joan in CWJC:
My God, back at Metro, after all those years...it was like a homecoming, and half the people on the set, the prop men and the grips...they remembered me and I remembered them. I loved doing that film. It gave me a chance to dance again, to pretend to sing, to emote all over the place, and in color, yet! If I hadn't brought it off I'd have only myself to blame because all the right elements were there. It was a field day for an actress, particularly one who'd reached a certain age. They don't write pictures like this anymore, do they

Female on the Beach (1955) W./Joan Crawford..

I have a thread in his in General...but I will Re-State Myself!
love "Torch Song"!! This has to be the "ULTIMATE" Joan Crawford film!!
Joan's return to MGM after 10 years...and boy what a return it was!!
"Torch Song" is a somewhat over-the-top backstage drama with intermittent musical moments, but hell what a movie...I couldn't pull myself away once the film started!! (It's also available on DVD on: The Joan Crawford Collection, Vol. 2, which I own!)
& Joan still looked good at the brink of 50 and that she could still do some pretty good dancing.
They say there is always that 1 film that an actor plays themselves ...I.E. Madonna in "Desperately Seeking Susan", & I believe Joan was palying herself!!
"Torch Song" "ROCKS"!!!...Joan Crawford as Jenny Stewart was bitchy, volcanic & just stunning to watch!!
& People forget that Marjorie Rambeau was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role playing Joan's mother!

DARLING .....IF THE PICNIC IS A NO GO...I'M ALWAYS UP FOR "BREAKFAST"!
Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!
