Description

She's the screen's iconic working girl. He's the screen's legendary Everyman. And Mannequin is the only celluloid collaboration of film greats Joan Crawford and Spencer Tracy. Melodrama expert Frank Borzage directs, composing glamorous close-ups of his femme star in this heart-tuggger about a Hester Street girl (Crawford), her con-artist hubby (Alan Curtis) and the shipping magnate (Tracy) smitten by the slum girl. It's a rags-to-riches-to-love's-truer-riches tale, a quintessential example of what the Golden Era called a "woman's picture." And reigning throughout is Crawford, going from factory girl to showgirl to fashion model to woman of means - all in stunning haute couture.

    This is a surprisingly great film. Very underrated. It definitely falls under Joan's 30s formula, but it is one of the more openly feminist films she has done. Her relationship with her mother in particular is very striking and can even be applied to today's women to a point. Plus Tracy's charm and humor really help give this film its lighter edge. I love it!
  • Crawford and Tracy - A great pair!

    I loved this movie, and how can you go wrong with two of the most legendary stars of the golden era.
