Anti-thousands of people

Support Crawford, who will always make a face for beautiful women! Seeing her perform Gardner should jump off the building. Crawford's performance gave me a very strange feeling. I have always believed that very few actors can perform several different feelings - no matter how great an actor is, no matter what he plays, a frown, a raised hand, and a turn around always have his own temperament. There is a tragedy of "one thousand people". And the reason why Crawford amazes me is that the weakness, helplessness, sincerity, and fragility in her role after the age of forty, and her arrogance, strength, beauty, and aggressiveness in her twenties and thirties are all real. It makes people feel that she has always been like this character and temperament all her life. Except for the same face, it seems like two people. Other than that, I can't say much about the heaviness this film brings to me and its attack on the parasitic life of the fallen aristocracy.

Veda Pierce: With this money I can get away from you. From you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from this shack with its cheap furniture. And this town and its dollar days, and its women that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls.
