About this product

Product Information

Based on the book by her adopted daughter Christina, MOMMIE DEAREST is the now-legendary tale of Hollywood superstar Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) and the lengths that she went to in order to maintain her public image. After several screen successes, Crawford's plan to stay on top in Tinseltown includes adopting two children, Christina and Christopher, whom she plans on spoiling with love and gifts. As her career flags and her lack of success in her relationships with men chip away at her constitution, Crawford's treatment of her children becomes more and more brutal. Though this domestic horror tale is so over-the-top it that it is often celebrated as high camp, Dunaway's performance remains nothing short of astounding.

  • Mommie dearest

    Just about as I remember it as a kid. But I'm not sure if it's the original movie. But it was great anyways. I don't think this is the original movie. I do believe that this was a remake of the original movie.

  • Disturbing but real

    As a child my mother couldn't ever bear to show her children this movie. She had a hard time watching it because of some abuse she had endured. Eventually I watched it and liked the film mostly because it was a movie she didn't want me watching. As an adult, I find this movie especially interesting because I wonder how much of the story is exaggerated. After all, the book was writing after Christine Crawford and her brother were left out of the will of their mother's. However it may be all very true. It's a film that raises so many questions of the actress Joan Crawford and the performances are spectacular. Whether or not there's complete truth in the story, it makes for a very disturbing and realistic look into child abuse.
