For anyone who loves Mommie Dearest mid 1950s Joan Crawford is a camp must.Torch Song a technicolor MGM 'musical' is hilariously over the top .Even better is Johnny Guitar where the protagonist and antagonist are a very butch Joan and Mercedes McCambridge ,again in technicolor and truly one of a kind .It is actually highly regarded in some critical circles.Queen Bee from 1955 is another one .Her character Eva Phillips is diabolically awful.Faye must have repeatedly watched all these films as well as 1950's Harriet Craig before playing Joan.
