What Craig's Wife Is About

Harriet Craig has made keeping her house immaculate the single purpose of her life and is attached to property and to social standing. She applies the same control to her husband, to her relatives and to the people who work in the house; every object out of place and every visitor is a threat to her, and beneath that need for control lies a fear of being dependent on anyone. Dorothy Arzner’s seventy five minute American film was adapted from George Kelly’s play, which won the Pulitzer in 1925, with a screenplay by Mary C. McCall Jr.; Columbia produced it and it opened on 25 September 1936. Rosalind Russell plays Harriet, with John Boles, Billie Burke and Jane Darwell in the cast.
