I have this film in my huge collection of movies and I never get tired of watching it. But I think the on-going list of 'Razzie Awards' that were awarded to this movie were outrageous and unfair. It is true though, the directing and writing could have been done a little better. I know too many actresses that can't come near to getting as angry and pyschotic. And I tell ya, it's damn hard to do some of the 'flipping-out' scenes she does. She's doing exactly what she's supposed to do in the film - be an ACTRESS.she's simply following a script. Faye Dunaway playing the part of Joan Crawford isn't exactly accurate, of course, but that's not her fault. to really make the different time frames look real. The director does a great job of recreating the different decades changing the costumes, furniture, cars, etc. Of course, the film was not a box office smash but it has very good acting from some of the characters. I notice a lot of the messages posted aren't from people in Los Angeles or know much about good acting. I think people are being way too harsh on the film. I know a lot about good acting and movie production, and I've been living in or around the Hollywood area for a very long time.
