This Woman Is Dangerous

Strictly B stuff which Crawford considered her worst movie, conveniently forgetting the atrocious "Ice Follies of 1939". Her part is something she could play in her sleep, a tough dame who finds herself in a tight spot. The thing is that even though Joan is elegantly gowned her surroundings are unquestionably cheap-jack something she sensed did not bode well for her future at Warners, she negotiated her exit and this was her last film for them. It's not just that the sets are low rent, the script is far below the high standard she was being offered just a year before. That's not to say it's not entertaining in a sensationalistic way but certainly nowhere near her best films.

This was Joan Crawford's final film under her Warner Brothers contract. She hated the film, but accepted it anyway to complete her agreement with the studio. It is not as bad as everyone thinks it is, but it is odd to see Joan as a lady gangster, going blind, and finding true love with the surgeon (Dennis Morgan) who restores her sight.

Head-strong Beth Austin(Joan Crawford)is no push-over; for anyone. Beth is the leader of a gang of thieves and the mistress of a cold-blooded killer Matt Jackson(David Brian). Matt is trigger happy and the jealous kind...for Beth is every inch a woman. When this lady crime boss finds out her eyesight is failing, she books an operation with maybe the only doctor to save her eyesight, Doc Ben Halleck(Dennis Morgan). Matt promises to lay low and take the bullets out of his gun while Beth is out of town for her surgery. She had no plans to accept the romantic affections of Halleck. Jackson gets very suspicious of his woman and her divorced doctor. This goes on as the FBI narrows in on Beth and her gang. Crawford is her usual hard boiled self and hated this film. She claims to have done it only to finish her contract with the Warner Bros. studio. Also in the cast: Philip Carey, Richard Webb, Ian MacDonald and Mari Aldon.
