Crawford, in a dream role, plays shrewish, perfectionist Harriet Craig who is so obsessively house-proud that she drives everyone around her crazy. She can't resist trying to run people's lives, and almost destroys her cousin's romance. Then Mrs. Craig interferes in her husband's career--until she goes too far. In the end, she's left alone with her true love--her spotlessly clean home. Though the premise sounds like campy fun (and indeed it has been satirized on stage), that stoney Crawford visage makes Harriet a little too real. Remake of 1936's Craig's Wife. [Less]
