Great melodrama, one of her most entertaining.
- DirectorLewis MilestoneStarsJoan CrawfordWalter HustonFred HowardA prostitute newly arrived in the South Pacific finds herself at odds with a stern missionary determined to save her soul.Joan is a sassy prostitute in the tropics.

One of her great performances of the 40's.
- DirectorRobert AldrichStarsBette DavisJoan CrawfordVictor BuonoA former child star torments her paraplegic sister in their decaying Hollywood mansion.Joan is tormented by her crazy sister Bette Davis.

- DirectorFreddie FrancisStarsJoan CrawfordMichael GoughBernard KayA sympathetic anthropologist uses drugs and surgery to try to communicate with a primitive troglodyte who is found living in a local cave.Joan's last movie was one of her worst, but also immensely entertaining.

- DirectorRanald MacDougallStarsJoan CrawfordBarry SullivanBetsy PalmerWhen a young woman arrives at the home of her socialite cousin, she soon gets sucked into the woman's complex web of deceit.In what looks almost like a parody of a Joan Crawford movie, Joan storms around a Southern mansion being horrible to everyone who crosses her path. Like a Tennessee Williams play, without any of the wit, intelligence, subtlety or subtext. A+ camp entertainment.
- DirectorJoseph PevneyStarsJoan CrawfordJeff ChandlerJan SterlingMoving into a beach house involves Lynn Markham in mystery, danger, and romance with a beach boy of dubious motives.Joan buys a house on a beach and has a fling with a younger man who tries to murder her. Campy fun.

- DirectorFelix E. FeistStarsJoan CrawfordDennis MorganDavid BrianA tough lady gangster learns that she will be totally blind within a week. She seeks help from the one eye surgeon who may be able to save her sight. In the process, he also causes her to have a change of heart.Joan considered this her worst film.

Their attempts at rekindling any sparks are thwarted by the arrival of another rival for her affections and the showing of her controversial film which could put her former beau's job in jeopardy.Joan plays a senator fighting for free speech. The idea of Joan as a fiery liberal is quite funny but overall a boring movie.
- DirectorVincent ShermanStarsJoan CrawfordWendell CoreyLucile WatsonHarriet Craig enjoys married life but constantly tries to control those around her. She does not even trust her husband Walter and always checks up on him.Joan is obsessed with having a clean house, and her servants live in terror of her. Campy and hilarious.

It isn't the typical honeymoon: they are on a spying mission for British Intelligence on the eve of World War II.Inexplicably, Joan and Fred MacMurray Honeymoon in Europe in 1939, somehow end up in Germany evading the Nazi Conrad Veidt. Preposterous but entertaining.
- DirectorGeorge CukorStarsNorma ShearerJoan CrawfordRosalind RussellA study of the lives and romantic entanglements of various interconnected women.Must-see. Joan plays the home-wrecker Crystal Allen amongst an all-female cast including the insipid Norma Shearer and the hilarious Rosalind Russell.
- DirectorJules DassinStarsJoan CrawfordJohn WaynePhilip DornIn German-occupied Paris, a Frenchwoman tries to help smuggle a downed RAF pilot into Portugal despite strict surveillance by suspicious Gestapo officers.Really stupid war film co-starring John Wayne.

Conrad Veidt plays that bad guy.

- DirectorHoward HawksRichard RossonStarsJoan CrawfordGary CooperRobert YoungDuring WWI, two officers, one a pilot and the other in the navy, compete for the same beautiful young woman.Boring war movie. Joan doesn't even get drunk or wear any ridiculous gowns in this one (with the exception of a triangular Adrian gown that could not be more anachronistic for a film set in 1914).
- DirectorClarence BrownStarsJoan CrawfordClark GableWallace FordAn ambitious factory girl meets a handsome, wealthy lawyer, but he's interested in her as a mistress, not a wife.Fantastic pre-code smut.
