Mommie Dearest - 1981 - 6/10
“No wire coat-hangers!”
Based on a then-popular, tell-all book by Joan Crawford’s daughter.
(Published after Crawford’s death.)
Allegedly a biography, this is so over the top, it must be seen to be believed.
Faye Dunaway unforgettable as the furious, over-controlling mother and lover.
The book was a hatchet job, the film a parody.
Points awarded for sheer camp value.
