A really weird movie. I have always admired Joan's acting. But that two faced women production was ridiculous. They could have hired Lena Horn or Dorothy Danridge and black dancers who could actually dance. Although I thought Joan's dancing was good, but by ripping that wig off reminds me of a female a Disney villain. What a disappointment.

I'm watching this right now on TCM and immediately Googled what was going on with Joan's face in Two Faced Woman and it lead me here. I couldn't tell if it was blackface or if it was supposed to be blue to match her dress. She just looked odd!
@ER1CwCАй бұрын
I was flipping channels last night and arrived on TCM right shortly before this scene. I had a similar reaction! I think they might have done the blackface lighter than usual because 1950s VistaVision is very vibrant; perhaps they wanted to tone down the colour contrast. But I thought at first that some of her blackface was rubbing off. In any case, I was highly amused by how she then tore off her black wig and revealed her orange hair. Not a good look.

I have your film cameo in A Chorus Line on DVD and I'm sorry you didn't like working on the film. Cassie sang "What I Did For Love" when it was Diana who sang it in the musical. Not to mention Bebe became one of the last remaining 8 dancers instead of Judy. Why changes?!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! for putting the egocentric Sir ALW, Lucille Ball, and Barbra Streisand in their places in the Musicals Hall Of Shame. It's about damn time!!! I would have put Lucy's horrible "Mame" at #1, but you're correct--nothing is WORSE than any musical by Sir ALW. I would have also added "THE WIZ" (1978) Starring Diana Ross & Michael Jackson to this Hall Of Shame List.

Now, Voyager is one of my all time favourites. Gay men were so drawn to it in the 1940s - and since - because Charlotte could be a repressed and closeted gay man who undergoes a sexual awakening and blossoms into her true self. As gay men had to hide in those days, she knows she cannot have everything, she doesn’t reach for the moon, she is satisfied to touch the stars.

Crawford once stated "Louis B. Mayer was a beautiful man" and Jack Warner was "a stinker." Many in Hollywood agreed with her. MGM put her in a lot of fluff, so she must have been relieved to escape Metro.

In THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT Joan's blackface was tactfully described as "tropical makeup". Dubbed by India Adams. Crawford still had her lovely figure, and terrific legs.

I love Joan and her movies , this was one i just never could sit though till the end , she just did sudden fear before this picture which was great , i do not know why her or the studio would have her do this picture . I really wish they would have cast her in From Her To Eternity afterwards i can totally see her playing that part , but it went to Debra Karr who did a good job but i think Joan would have been better .

Her performances are melodramatic but she was capable of great subtlety in her roles too. Interesting that people still watch her and are fascinated by her Why? because she is truly cinematic for a woman who stood at 5 foot 3 inches the camera loved her. Bette Davis said of her ' christ that dame's got a face'.

At 26 seconds he says that in 1943 she buys up her contract at MGM. That is a total myth. LB Mayer gave her the boot from the studio because her films were not making any money and they really just wanted to get rid of her and all of her emotional and psychological baggage, child abuse events at home and all of her sleeping around with all of her leading men at the Studio. They just wanted her to get the heck out! She did not buy out her contract - LB Mayer made her pay the money back to the studio that she had borrowed against her films. She had to pay that back or face the consequences. MGM was through with her! Read, "The Man Who Seduced Hollywood ". The information is in there.

i saw the "Two-Faced" number when i was 9, and it chilled me to the bone. i don't know why seeing Joan rip off that black wig frightened me so much, but all i want to know is why. WHY was that scene done? It isn't so much the makeup that disturbs me now. It's more about it being a terrible number. The song is awful and the set design looks like death.
