It is interesting to watch the two different acting styles of Joan and Greer, play off each other. Once again, Spring Byington perfectly plays the ditsy-rich-lady character. I just love her. You may find yourself routing for.. Greer Garson. I also thought the sets were absolutely beautiful..

    I haven't seen this one, Dawn. I am a big Joan Crawford fan, tho. She was so gorgeous in the earlier days. I will have to try and catch this one on TCM.

    Robin and Monty, I think you both will enjoy the film, When Ladies Meet. Especially, if you are a Joan Crawford fan.
