Trivia
In an appearance on The Merv Griffin Show (1962) on March 7, 1963, Joan Crawford was asked about working with John Wayne. She said, "...I'd wanted to work with him for so long, and Merv, when we really worked together it was the lousiest script I have ever seen or read in my life. I think he will verify that."

Joan is Great Here!

This is not one of Crawford's better known films, but I was glad I caught it on TCM recently. I think Joan's character feels very believable. She starts out as a spoiled, entitled rich French girl who isn't really concerned about the world around her. The war changes her for the better and opens her eyes. But her background as a wealthy woman makes her believable when standing up to the Nazis. In her home, for instance, she never backs down - by gosh it's her freaking house! I like her spunk and it feels real because nothing really bad has every happened to her so she's not afraid of the Nazi intruders. She's more annoyed by them.

I liked it. Crawford it always entertaining to watch.
