My Golden Age film viewing record is embarassing, to say the least. I had a peek at Mrs. Crawford's CV, and could find all but THREE titles I had seen. Obviously the "Eyes" episode from NIGHT GALLERY due to the Spielberg connection. I saw the classic WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? years and years ago. And I've seen - and own - the 1925 silent film version of BEN HUR where she apparently has a cameo (I have that film as a bonus on the DVD of the 59 version).
I guess the last one was "Eyes", which I rewatched a few years ago. Not a film, but hey. Good stuff.
If you like film noir, A WOMAN'S FACE is good stuff, too.

I wouldn’t, no. With some exceptions, I tend to go for directors rather than actors.
While not egg-zack-ly a Crawford film, THE WOMEN (1939) is directed by George Cukor, a very significant name.
But I don't expect this film would interest you at all, really, Thor. I don't think you could handle the subject matter or the period milieu (oh, I just love it when I speak French!  )

Which leaves me to try to think of a truly, TRULY Crawford film that Thor might actually enjoy.
Which is going to take a while....

As for other Crawfords, I've always been curious about JOHNNY GUITAR, mainly because I have colleagues who've raved about it.
It's awfully good if you're ready for the type of film it is, which it sounds like you are. Mercedes McCambridge steals the show, for my money.
Report back here when you've seen it!
