In this camp-classic biographical film, glamorous yet lonely star Joan Crawford adopts two orphans. At first their unconventional family seems happy but after Joan’s attempts at romantic fulfillment go sour, she is fired from her contract with MGM studios, her callous and abusive behavior towards her daughter Christina becomes even more pronounced. No wire hangers EVER!
