5.0 out of 5 stars FATAL ATTRACTION NINETEEN FORTIES STYLE..., December 17, 2006
By Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)      
This is a superlative film in which Joan Crawford gives the performance of a lifetime. This 1947 film opens with an disoriented woman (Joan Crawford) wandering the streets of Los Angeles and searching for someone named David. She is ultimately brought to the psychiatric ward of a hospital for evaluation, after she collapses. She is now catatonic.

The film then flashes back to those events that brought her to that state. It turns out that she is Louise Howell. She had an affair with David Sutton (Van Heflin), a man who treated her badly and did not return her love. For him, she was just a fling, while for her, he was more, much more. She smothered him and obsessed over him. This is the beginning of her slow descent into another reality.

Her marriage to a wealthy man (Raymon Massey) sets into motion a series of events that over time cause Louise's already tenuous grip on reality to loosen even more. Louise's obsession with her former lover finally takes her over the edge into the unchartered territory of a paranoid schitzophrenic with most unfortunate consequences for David.

Ms. Crawford's performance of a woman descending into the snakepit of madness is a wonder to behold. One senses her tenuous grip on reality. One feels her face life with trepidation, and her fear and confusion is palpable. This is certainly one of Ms. Crawford's best and most poignant performances. The viewer gets the sense that Ms. Crawford poured her heart and soul into this magnificent performance.

Joan Crawford fans and lovers of classic movies will enjoy this engrossing film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joan's early movie hit , March 21, 2006
Only an actress who's career lasted FIVE DECADES can play in two pictures, in two different decades with the same TITLE!

The 1931"Possessed" follows the standard Crawford/MGM story...Beautiful girl meets two handsome boys, doesn't know which to choose...tragic love triangle...happy ending...

But this picture is especially memorable because MGM teams Joan with Clark Gable. These two are always magical to watch together. They both always lit up the screen, because anyone could tell that when Gable looked at Crawford he had fire in his eyes.

BTW, in case you're wondering "Possessed" from 1947 is MUCH BETTER with a totally different plot (Joan was nominated for her second Oscar for the 47' "Possessed").
