madmonkmcghee OK, so it's partly my own fault. But with a title like This Woman Is Dangerous and Joan Crawford in the lead, who wouldn't expect a noir movie? It starts off that way, but after 10 minutes it turns into a syrupy soap opera. So i'm sure there are plenty of fans of La Crawford's brand of melodrama out there who will eat this up and love it. And they will have no problem in accepting the crucial fact that all men who stare into Saint Joan's angelic eyes fall madly in love with her and will do anything, yes even commit murder to win her love. Me for one, i didn't buy it. I'm also not a fan of movies that feature self-sacrificing young and attractive doctors, especially if they have unbearably cute daughters with pigtails. Did i mention he was divorced? And that the pixyish daughter is immediately won over by Ms. Crawford? Boy, what a bit of luck for Our Lady On the Lamb! Sure is a swell setup to step into. If there only wasn't her no-good killer boyfriend, who spends the entire movie in a jealous murderous rage. But of course Joan is too honest and steadfast to sell him out for a cushy life with Dr. Wonderful. Or is she? Torn between two lovers, whatever will she do? If you're really interested in the answer, i can recommend this movie. If like me you couldn't possibly care less, avoid.
JoeytheBrit Although Joan Crawford is undoubtedly the star of this awful Warners' programmer, and the bland Dennis Morgan is her love interest, David Brian is the best thing about this film. Brian had already appeared with Crawford in Flamingo Road and The Damned Don't Cry, both of which are infinitely superior to this film, and he knew how to hold his own against her. He, at least, brings a little fire to the screen (while Miss Crawford simpers as she suffers and Morgan tries to smile handsomely).Crawford plays Beth Austin, a high-class gangster in league with the volatile Jackson brothers (Brian and Philip Carey) who learns she has one of those unspecified disease integral to all mediocre movies. Morgan is the clean-cut doctor who is the only man who can save her. Of course they fall for each other and events follow a horribly predictable (and unbearably slow) path towards an inevitable conclusion.There isn't much of any worth about this film. It's professionally constructed but lacks any kind of passion, excitement or interest.
nickandrew This was Joan Crawford's final film under her Warner Brothers contract. She hated the film, but accepted it anyway to complete her agreement with the studio. It is not as bad as everyone thinks it is, but it is odd to see Joan as a lady gangster, going blind, and finding true love with the surgeon (Dennis Morgan) who restores her sight.
Colin R. Glassey This movie is really a star vehicle for Joan Crawford. Here she plays a "gang leader". Her henchmen are typically stupid and violent. Oddly she falls in love with a very decent doctor and the way this plays out is well done.One especially impressive scene has her visit a woman's prison (in the company of her Doctor friend). Really nice acting job as she portrays her fear of the place (she has been in prison before one guesses) while trying to appear unconcerned. I think this movie is quite a bit better than most people give it credit for.
