Joan Crawford * Melvyn Douglas * in " A Woman's Face " MGM R54 - 27 x 48 Poster is in very good condition!!!!....R54/466 minor wear around edges - 2 small tears in folds - has the usually folds (see photos)By the early 1940s, an aging Joan Crawford was finding good roles few and far between. Thanks to the success of her performance in The Women (1939)..., she was no longer "box office poison, " but she knew that if she was to continue to thrive at MGM, she had to find better material than the glossy melodramas she'd been doing.
Crawford had seen a Swedish film, A Woman's Face (1938), starring David O. Selznick's new discovery Ingrid Bergman as a horribly scarred woman whose bitterness leads her into a life of crime. Her life changes when plastic surgery restores her beauty, but she finds it more difficult to change inside. Crawford decided that her next film would be a remake of A Woman's Face (1941), and George Cukor, who had directed both The Women and Susan and God (1940), would direct. MGM head Louis B. Mayer was certain it would ruin her career. "Are you crazy? Do you want the public to see you looking ugly?" But Crawford was adamant, and Mayer grudgingly agreed. Working with Cukor to create her character, Crawford trusted her director completely. Cukor stood on the sidelines, watching her carefully for any sign of what he called "the touches of the movie queen sneaking in, " and would contort his face and body to remind her that she had to be the deformed, defeated woman.
