Debra Johnson Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I'm watching reruns of "Maude". The episode is "The Wallet". There's a mixup and Maude thinks her husband is cheating w/a younger woman. She goes to the woman's apartment and says "Listen Toots, I'm not Joan Crawford begging Sandra Dee not to take my husband Walter Pidgeon". I'm searching for the movie that starred Joan Crawford, Sandra Dee and Walter Pidgeon w/this plot because sounds like it would be quite good. I've googled, searched and everything I can think of. Can't find a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The writers were just using then as an example of jealous women (Crawford), younger women (Dee), and husband (Pidgeon). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gorman Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 JOAN CRAWFORD and SANDRA DEE both starred in 'Horror' movies released in 1970 . . . that's gotta be something? (Joan Crawford starred in TROG -and- Sandra Dee starred in THE DUNWICH HORROR). I don't know if Walter Pidgeon starred in any horror movies, tho . . .

Roy Cronin Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Here's something: the young woman Maude confronts is named Norma. So maybe by using "Joan Crawford" the writers were playing on a role reversal of the big Joan and Norma Shearer confrontation in "The Women". (Sandra Dee and Walter Pidgeon I can't figure out.)

SansFin Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 IMDb.com does not list them ever being in the same movie. Joan Crawford and Sandra Dee were together in some award shows. Joan Crawford and Sandra Dee Joan Crawford and Walter Pidgeon were in a telethon show. Joan Crawford and Walter Pidgeon It does not show Walter Pidgeon and Sandra Dee ever appearing together.

I've seen this happen before -- someone making a film reference joke that's not accurate. Funny thing is, Crawford -- even in her later films -- tended to play the "younger" woman stealing the husband. And good for her! I'm an unapologetic Crawford fan who will defend TROG or at least die trying. DESIGNING WOMEN contained a joke about "Ann-Margret women in prison" films. I don't think A-M ever played a prison inmate, unless there were some prison scenes in KITTEN WITH A WHIP. In both cases, the jokes sound right, if you know what I mean. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I'm sure you know, Pidgeon played a husband in many films, especially those that featured Greer Garson as his wife. Of course Maude's husband is named Walter so maybe any connection is that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scsu1975 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 i think the real issue here is with Maude calling the woman "Toots." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Cronin Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Adrienne Barbeau, Maude's daughter Carol, originated the role of Rizzo in "Grease" on Broadway. Wherein she sang "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee. " Next....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
