First, I would have to say that Vol. 1 is the stronger set, but this collection has its moments too. Flamingo Road and A Woman's Face were my particular favorites. It was always said that Joan was a star and not an actress. How wrong they are. This set highlights Crawford's acting skills which were formidable. Even when one of her movies does not quite live up to your expectations, Joan never disappoints. She put everything she had into every role she undertook and you cannot help but be impressed by such a talented actress. Yes, Joan was one of Hollywood's greatest stars, but also one of its greatest actresses, a true queen among mere mortals.
