Harriet Craig

“What Was Harriet Craig's Lie?”

Harriet Craig (Joan Crawford) runs her house the way other people run a campaign, with every surface polished and every room arranged to her satisfaction. Her husband Walter (Wendell Corey) and the relatives and friends who come through the door are held to her standards, and Vincent Sherman watches as they start to stay away. Harriet only grips tighter, sure the house is what she has earned.
