Plot summary

At the beginning of the film, we see Joan Crawford as she rises very early in the morning to prepare for a work day at the MGM Studios. She engages in a slightly neurotic morning ritual where she scrubs her face vigorously with soap and hot water, then plunges it immediately into ice with alcohol in it to close the pores. We learn early on that Joan is obsessed with cleanliness and wants those around her to follow her instructions to the letter; when a new maid thinks she has Joan's living room in spotless condition, Joan finds one minute detail that the maid overlooked and momentarily loses her temper over it. She very clearly intimidates the maid, as well her new live-in personal assistant, Carol-Ann. Joan Crawford (March 23, 1905 – May 10, 1977),[1] was an acclaimed, iconic, Academy Award-winning American actress, arguably one of the greatest from the Golden Age of Hollywood from the 1920s through 1940s. ...

Joan is in a steady romantic relationship with Hollywood lawyer Gregg Savitt, but her career is in a bit of a downswing. She reveals to Gregg that what she really wants is a baby, but that she can't get pregnant; no less than seven pregnancies when she was married to actor Franchot Tone all ended in a miscarriage. When she is denied an application for adoption through a legal agency, she enlists Gregg's help to secure a baby through means which are not made clear. Finally Joan gets what she wants; a blonde haired, blue eyed little girl whom she names Christina. Franchot Tone Franchot Tone (February 27, 1905 – September 18, 1968) was an American actor. ...

The film moves abruptly to when Christina is approximately eight or nine years old. Joan has adopted another child, a boy she calls Christopher, but the focus of the film remains on Christina. Joan lavishes her with attention and luxuries such as an extravagant birthday party, yet enforces a strict code of denial and discipline as well. Showered with gifts at her birthday party, Joan makes the decision to donate all but one of Christina's birthday presents to an orphanage, making Christina take responsibility for the gesture, which has been documented in the press (presumably garnering publicity for Crawford). As Christina begins to rebel against her mother's stringent demands and standards, a series of confrontations emerges that forms the movie's core. Joan easily overtakes Christina in a swimming pool race, then becomes enraged at the young girl when she reacts with childish disappointment. When Joan discovers Christina putting on makeup at her dressing table and imitating her, she cruelly hacks off Christina's hair with a pair of scissors.

Quickly these tantrums grow even more bizarre and violent, as when Joan flies into a bitter rage and hacks down her prize rose garden with a pair of large gardening shears and an axe. In the film's most notorious scene, Joan stalks into Christina's bedroom in the middle of the night, her face covered with beauty cream, and discovers one of the child's dresses hanging on a wire hanger. Joan launches into a frightening tirade, screaming at the girl that she had forbidden wire hangers, viciously tearing apart her closet, and then beating the girl with the hanger. The fight continues when Crawford stumbles into Christina's bathroom and feels that she has not obeyed her orders to scrub the floor that day. Furious that the child doesn't understand her notion of cleanliness, Joan destroys the bathroom as well, beating Christina with two cans of scouring powder and hurling the cleanser over everything. Finally she leaves the girl with an angry order to "clean up this mess" all by herself.

Eventually Crawford sends Christina away to attend a boarding school, and the film makes another jump in time to when Christina seems to be about 16. Crawford claims to be losing her financial stability and works out an arrangement that allows Christina to perform chores around the school for her board and tuition. Meanwhile, Christina begins to realize that her mother's erratic behavior is fueled in part by her alcoholism. Alcoholism is the consumption of, or preoccupation with, alcoholic beverages to the extent that this behavior interferes with the drinkers normal personal, family, social, or work life, and may lead to physical or mental harm. ...

Christina's grades are excellent and she seems to be proud of her schoolwork, but things change drastically when she is caught in a compromising position with a boy. Although the encounter was innocent, Joan arrives at the school furious and removes Christina permanently after screaming in rage at the school's headmistress. Joan brings Christina home with her, where, ironically, a reporter from Redbook magazine is in the house writing a puff piece article on Crawford's home life. An argument erupts and Christina accuses Joan of adopting her children simply to give herself free publicity. Joan slaps Christina several times across the face and then becomes completely unhinged, lunging at Christina, dragging her to the carpet, and attempting to choke her to death. Carol-Ann and the visiting reporter witness the attack and intervene, but there are apparently no repercussions for Crawford, who sends Christina to a strict convent school against her will.

The film's final act takes place after Christina matures and sets out on her own. Joan marries Alfred Steele, CEO of Pepsi Cola, and urges him to take on a great deal of debt to fund their lavish home and lifestyle. After his death, she remains on the company's board of directors, but not without a bitter confrontation with the all-male board. Christina and her mother enter into a somewhat amicable phase in their relationship, despite the fact that Joan seems to sabotage Christina's attempt to establish herself as an actress. It comes as a complete shock to Christina and Christopher that, upon Joan's death at the end of the film, they are both disinherited in her will "for reasons that are well known to them". The final dialogue exchange hints that Christina has decided to write a book about her experiences growing up with "Mommie Dearest" and thus avenge Christopher and herself.

Script and production

Joan Crawford's image was severely tarnished as a result of this film, as many now remember her as a cruel and abusive parent rather than a famous and successful Hollywood motion picture actress. ... For other uses see film (disambiguation) Film refers to the celluliod media on which movies are printed Film — also called movies, the cinema, the silver screen, moving pictures, photoplays, picture shows, flicks, or motion pictures, — is a field that encompasses motion pictures as an art form or as...

Perhaps due to time and budget limitations there are few references to Crawford's early marriages; the character of Greg Savitt is a composite of several of her relationships and Crawford's third husband, actor Phillip Terry. Also omitted from the story are details about her religious experiences as a Christian Scientist, as well as portrayals of her two younger adopted daughters. CBS declined to participate in the movie, so the scenes in which Joan fills in for Christina on soap opera The Secret Storm are intentionally vague; the soap is never mentioned by name, only as "the 4 o'clock show" (the time that Secret Storm aired for many years).

Many of the most abusive incidents were eliminated; some were merged together. The infamous wire hanger rant is joined with the fight over the cleanliness of the bathroom floor, which are reported in the book as separate incidents. Christina's relationship with her first boyfriend at school - the incident where Joan knocked Christina over a chest and beat her, then sent her to Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy - actually occurred at different times. Joan's relationship with Christina's brother Chris was also left out of the movie. Joan's threats, punishments, and quite severe abuse of Christina, described in the book, were eliminated from the movie. Despite these cuts, the movie's run time was quite long.

Reviews

The movie as a whole received overwhelmingly negative reviews by film critics. Roger Ebert opened his review with the damning statement "I can't imagine who would want to subject themselves to this movie."^[1]. About Dunaway's performance, Variety said "Dunaway does not chew scenery. Dunaway starts neatly at each corner of the set in every scene and swallows it whole, costars and all."^[2] Roughly a month into release, MGM realized the film was getting a reputation and box office as an unintentional comedy, and changed its advertising to reflect its new camp status, proclaiming, "Meet the biggest MOTHER of them all!" ^[3] Variety is a daily newspaper for the entertainment industry. ...

While Dunaway garnered some critical acclaim for her astonishing physical metamorphosis and her portrayal of Crawford (finishing a narrow second in the voting for the New York Film Critics Circle Awards for Best Actress of the Year), she also received a Razzie Award for Worst Actress.

The film was damaging to Dunaway's career, and Dunaway later stated that she wished she had never appeared in it. It was said that she attempted to tone down her portrayal of Crawford, but met opposition from Christina Crawford in doing so. In her autobiography, Dunaway only makes a brief mention of the movie stating that she wished the director had enough experience to see when actors needed to rein in their performances.^[4] Joan Crawford once said in an interview in the early 1970s that of the current young actresses only Faye Dunaway had "what it takes" to be a true star.^[5] The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979. ...

Camp classic

The film was intended to be a drama, but in the years since its release, it has achieved cult status as a high camp classic. Camp is an aesthetic in which something has appeal because of its bad taste or ironic value. ...

This began when viewers who had heard about or seen the "no wire hangers ... ever!" scene, in which Crawford wakes Christina and beats her with a wire hanger for using it on an expensive dress instead of a wooden one, led to pranksters showing up at theaters with wire hangers hoping to "participate" in the movie, as if it were the cult movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In fact, once the producers saw that the movie was going the opposite direction, wire hangers were passed out in the theater.

Mommie Dearest was released on DVD July 17, 2001. It was re-released June 6, 2006 in a special "Hollywood Royalty" edition, with commentary by John Waters. Waters spends the bulk of his commentary dissecting the film as a serious bio-film and is quite outspoken in condemning the two sequences in the film (the infamous "wire hanger" rant and "Tina!

Goofs

• Though the scene in Mommie Dearest where Dunaway as Crawford goes to the office of Louis B. Mayer (played by Howard Da Silva) and is fired is supposed to be in 1943, the large photograph of studio stars hanging on the wall behind his desk was taken years later.
• During the scene where young Christina is making one of her "uncles," who is visiting her mommie, a drink, there is an '80s era plastic bottle of Fantastik spray cleaner visible on the bar.
• Following Christina's line (leading into the famous fight) "...because I am NOT one of your FANS!" Joan (Dunaway) pushes Christina forward over the accent table and a crystal table lamp breaks in mid air from being put back together so many times after previous takes.
• At Joan's funeral, when Christina is paying her respects, Dunaway can be seen breathing in the casket if one looks close enough.

• During Faye Dunaway's interview on Bravo's "Inside the Actors Studio", James Lipton saved the topic of "Mommie Dearest" for the end of the interview, being as how Dunaway credits the film for ruining her career. When he comments on her appearance in the film as Joan, Dunaway says that she and the make-up artist worked for hours trying to get the "Crawford look". Finally Faye says she discovered that Joan looked the way she did because of the way she purposely held her facial muscles, thus explaining why Joan looked different in her very early career. Faye says "It was chilling."
• The adoption agent who informs single, twice-divorced Crawford that she has been "found to be an unsuitable parent" is an uncredited performance by Christina Crawford.

• The [4] exterior of the Mommie Dearest house is actually a home in Bel- Air, next door to Ronald and Nancy Reagan's home that they lived in following his two terms as President and in which he later died.
