Wow, that must have been interesting seeing them act in the same movie. I have hard time imagining them on the same planet, much less the same movie scene.
I can just imagine them dining together. And the dinner goes all over the floor because she is having a Joana-maniacal Hissy. "Clean up this MESS!" she screams. Duke just says, "Pick up the steak, Bitch...."
.....Apparently they did REUNION IN FRANCE together.

And did they kiss? That would have been weird.....
I think you're forgetting how attractive these people were in their younger days. At the time of the release of REUNION IN FRANCE, Crawford would have been about 38 and Wayne about 36---neither were senior citizens, and both were not only beautiful, but also beautiful examples of the Hollywood fantasy machine at work providing romance for war-weary audiences.
Crawford was likely a sexual cougar, and a slightly younger and virile Wayne was prime meat, and probably up for anything, too.

Was he a carpet cleaner? Or was she a pole vaulter?
I forget where I read this, but I once saw REUNION IN FRANCE described as "Joan Crawford's haute couture flight across war-torn Europe," or something along those lines. That about nails it. I do remember one striking visual that takes place in a dining hall, though, but don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen the movie and might be thinking about doing so.
I saw about 15 minutes of IRON PETTICOAT once and didn't bother with the rest of it. I think it's a re-do of NINOTCHKA.

Just the sort of recommendation I need. Thanks, Castile.
