RARE: The Road to Edinburgh - Joan Crawford (General Electric Theater, 1954)

[@beckylink]

Excellent!! Joan never disappoints. The more I watch of her the more I’m completely taken with her abilities to portray human emotions.

[@antwill6939]

so spot on! she does great with bringing the emotions to life.

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

That was fantastic! What a script what writing, what acting! It was so simply done and so dramatically portrayed and so, so wonderfully done! BRAVO JOAN !

[@antwill6939]

They just don't make em like they used to. I am in tears. She just had this... endearing quality about her performances that truly turned the characters she played into people you will always remember. I love Joan. She transports me back to a time when chivalry was alive and people in society behaved with a level of etiquette and civility. Man, she was great! I like to think she would have liked me and even if she did not, I would have understood.

[@jcnyc9087]

Oh, Ant Will, after your glowing encomium how could Joan Crawford not like you!

[@antwill6939]

@@jcnyc9087 thank you❣️

[@jacquelineradney8983]

Of course they don't what year do u think you are living in ? People need to stop saying this yeah these movies were good but they didn't portray all of the people in society, today movies portray all cultures a ND its the way it should be and that's what makes them great😊

[@donitaforrest9064]

​@@jacquelineradney8983... I think what she meant was, movies used to be alot more interesting and society had stronger passions about christian values, and it showed in people's characters.

[@diannemiller1895]

Fabulous. Maybe most expressive face in old Hollywood. Agree, Joan never disappoints.

[@rozann9223]

Truly enjoyable story. Joan Crawford was always so good in everything she did. Thank you for posting.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Not exactly the most convincing portrayal of the road to Scotland from England but Joan can overcome anything. The Edinburgh Festival is still going, it’s the largest arts festival in the world.

[@henryford2950]

I'd like to visit there someday, just out of curiosity.

[@user-ko7bb5kh4i]

This is my Joan Crawford time. Joan on a Sunday. 😊

[@brkitdwn]

You have to admit, the guy she picked up started acting really weird and creepy after the radio announcement of the escaped convict. Superb acting from Joanie 😅

[@seriagungnurastarlight]

I would be scared too in that situation 😯🤦. But, Thank You, for uploading this short movie, watching it during breakfast till the end ❤️

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

yeah, Wickers was pretty crepy after he got a belt or two into him.... that "first time I've been close to a woman in 17 years" business ... she had no reason to be ashamed.

[@doberman1ism]

Actor Chuck Connors of The Rifleman was the American soldier that she picked up.

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

He was seriously hot

[@TransVangal]

Such a good movie wow, great joan performance yet again

[@pw529]

WHAT GREAT STYLE CLASS NO ONE BETTER THEN JOAN CRAWFORD

[@garymensurati1631]

Agree 💯👍 I adore Joan !

[@Liz-re3ek]

Not true--no one better than Bette Davis!! Joan was a close 2nd!!💯💜

[@mariapereira3221]

We're supposed to forget he was mega creeping on her?

[@trevorMT]

My favourite actress legend Joan Crawford

[@kattbaker7212]

This was really good 💕 love these classic shows

[@brkitdwn7514]

Love that third voice echo in her head.

It's hokey, but good. 😊

Great actor Joan Crawford

SECOND TIME I WATCHED GETS BETTER EVERY TIME

[@MrStpendouslvforjo]

I love these TV featurettes...Joan looked very beautiful in some angles...I wonder why she let herself have such thick eyebrows - she was so lovely in every other respect. It was great seeing "The Rifleman" ! This little film had a lot of suspense...I really enjoyed it!

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

I wonder if she thought the eyebrows would draw the eye upward? To look more youthful? They just throw her lovely face out of balance

[@michaelmitchell5098]

@@gloriamontgomery6900let’s call it a trademark and leave it at that!🥰

[@rosenamarshall5502]

I’ve always loved her eyebrows . Maybe because I have hardly any 😂

[@susanbrown9662]

I can understand how you would feel picking up a stranger...him telling you he was just released from prison. Also for killing a woman...shit my mind would be working over time lol...

[@blessedmslady7341]

That only made this character PERFECT for Ms. Lucille 😃

[@michaeldanello3966]

Crawford excels as a progressively neurotic woman who offers a ride to a man who helped her change a flat tire. Well written and every role is well cast and well acted

[@antwill6939]

i fully agree! The guy who played the cop did great at being a stiff jerk. lol

[@UncleDavesKitchen]

Wow, that was good start to finish. I met Miss Crawford once and got her autograph from her, I still have it, she was so nice to me.

[@charlesprice925]

I don't think I'd walk up behind Crawford when she's holding a tire iron. It's the same as, who gave Betty Davis a gun.

[@daisycassidy2448]

This was great. Thank you.

[@keithwilson5229]

If they had made a movie about Joan (other than mommie dearest), Sean Young should have played her!!!

[@shebamaree9026]

Keith Wilson i agree. most likely they are kin. they resemble

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

Oooo yes!

[@Vincent50]

Wow loved this.

[@leewhitaker538]

- 26:03 Hey, that’s Chuck Conors.

[@brittlizzzzzz]

Mr. Wickers is a total creep!

[@MsBackstager]

With a very young Chuck Connors.

[@erichwyatt6554]

someone explain what she was putting in her car called petrol ? Love this movie ..this is true entertainment "subscribing now " Thanks

[@sharonpolikoff7282]

Petrol is what the English call gasoline.

[@user-ko7bb5kh4i]

Gas

[@FlowersfromNan]

Great actress.❤

[@robertramsay5963]

She always was a good driver and got so much satisfaction out of those cigarettes.

[@Harry65921]

How do you know she was a good driver?

[@airlinegeek2119]

Hokey. Even Hollywood knew they drive on the other side of the road in the UK. A convertible with white wall tyres in 1954 England? Typical Crawford overacting -what we loved in the 50s!

[@Blonde_Somnambulist]

She was driving on the left !

[@shebamaree9026]

Echos Bunnywoman she was pretending to drive. ha! hollyweird

[@JM-lw3nx]

She looked damn good.

[@antwill6939]

damn good!

[@manuelesparza1081]

That was scary

[@Blumoon_vii]

Joan gave everything to this role she's the queen of thriller noir

[@jeansenn2831]

Was that John Mills, father of Hayley Mills, as Mr. Wickers?

[@tommoncrieff1154]

No. It’s an actor called John Sutton.

[@zyxw2024]

He was handling her body inappropriately while she was driving, telling her of unwanted feelings. He murdered in the past. And she apologized to him. 🙄 The pigs gave her a speeding ticket though she sped up because she wanted help from them. 🙄 A man had to have written this fiction/script.

[@michaelmitchell5098]

Hmm…a 21st century slant on a 20th century script. Ok.🤔

[@markquigley1690]

The amount of Vaseline on that lens…Lordy!

[@Blumoon_vii]

Stupid comment

[@carolynhenderson1010]

Jone was so talented and beautiful

[@kattbaker7212]

❤️❤️❤️

[@victoriajarvis2260]

The hair.

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

It looks like it is completely solid. Like it’s been carved

[@sharksport01]

The eyebrows.

[@lauriekristensen5859]

This was good. But, he DID start acting really sleazy. I would have been petrified, too. I wouldn't have been able to forgive that part even if I was mistaken about the rest.

[@erict7093]

Haha! Loved it. Had this film been made within the last 30yrs the ending would have been certainly different! The twist at the end would have been shooting Joan while he explained he was apart of the murder but got away...haha!

[@dianalee8967]

Did she forget he was coming on to her that he hadn't had a woman in so long and she was scared how did that get swept under the rug so to speak and it's supposed to be real drunk and now he's the good guy oh well all in all it was okay thanks

[@mariapereira3221]

diana i think it was quickly forgotten for no good reason makes no sense why joan just moves on and feels ashamed the guy was a scumbag creep and the cops didn't help her what a stinker movie it's sunny outside

[@user-tz4fo2ix5s]

Steep or Crawford. Whose the best. A shame writers let down the talented.

[@user-ko7bb5kh4i]

"Never trust a dame." "She's in the driver's seat." You have to laugh! 😅😂

[@frankmoran8662]

Better ashamed and alive than shameless and found unalived

[@lbar9720]

Good story, but let's not forget that he was practically groping her in the car before the Police stopped. Those were the days when women were less than....

[@user-ko7bb5kh4i]

It was only natural for her to be scared.

[@reynaldoflores4522]

Did she take the high road or the low road ?

[@miapdx503]

Back when a square would square everything...😏

[@melanie_luv2_sew]

what is wrong with this lady? Joan Crawford would never.

[@thegodblogger3812]

I didn't realize Miss Crawford had done tv work to the extent she did. I knew she had done some things in the 1960s but not the 1950s. The same for Bette Davis. I just didn't know.

[@michaelmitchell5098]

You’re missing a lot. Stick to YT and you’ll see a bunch!!

[@robbinmeissner697]

She asked for forgiveness when he intentionally taunted her with all that creepy language at the end first drink first woman putting his arm around her and stupid cop

Great movie why can't they make them .Ike this anymore

"Never trust a dame, I tell ya!"

[@clareshaughnessy2745]

Well, he’s not very scary is he? It’s a good job the (strangely Californian looking) roads were empty in those days since she drove the whole way on the right.

Chuck Connors (The Rifleman) waws he one of the cops?

She some actress

[@acastrohowell]

Impossible to watch poor quality video

[@MarkWG]

Wow! Sexism like that would never be allowed today! 😂 I am so glad to find these short performances starring the "Queen of Hollywood", Ms. Joan Crawford. This was yet another wonderful example of her superb talent. Anyone else find it interesting that she is driving an American Mercury Monterey in England? Being a car nut, I noticed the car immediately.

[@user-ko7bb5kh4i]

I knew the radio would broadcast a prisoner had escaped, or someone escaped from an insane asylum. 😅😮

[@freedolphin3077]

She's a fantastic actress and all, but I'm sure she could beat up all the men in this

[@patsywhitten4739]

That boy messed up already. Never trust a dame.

[@bsota8513]

I thought it was a girl! 🤣

[@MrUdayNarainPandeySharadNPande]

If it was my stand a moment id have silently pushed 5000 or $ 6000 in his coat as i said hop away grasshopper at some point midway. But it wasnt an act of shame that made her cry 8t was stony heart

[@robbinmeissner697]

I thought the dude was definitely creepy walking up so close up behind her closing up for her butt to touch his toes. You don't creep up to a woman on her own without at least calling out before you get like 1-inch close to her from behind🫣
