Description

She's the screen's iconic working girl. He's the screen's legendary Everyman. And Mannequin is the only celluloid collaboration of film greats Joan Crawford and Spencer Tracy. Melodrama expert Frank Borzage directs, composing glamorous close-ups of his femme star in this heart-tuggger about a Hester Street girl (Crawford), her con-artist hubby (Alan Curtis) and the shipping magnate (Tracy) smitten by the slum girl. It's a rags-to-riches-to-love's-truer-riches tale, a quintessential example of what the Golden Era called a "woman's picture." And reigning throughout is Crawford, going from factory girl to showgirl to fashion model to woman of means -- all in stunning haute couture.

  • One of my very favorite movies
I think Joan Crawford was at her very best in this movie. The leading character "Jessie" is so endearingly played by her, it's hard to believe this is the hard edged Joan that we later came to know. I was treated to several movies on TCM station that showcased Crawford in her very earliest movies. She was such an innocent, young and talented young woman during this era. She could dance, sing, convince with her acting skills. She was quite a gal! I had no idea she was such a good dancer as is evidenced in other movies in the 1930's such as Dancing Lady, Dance, Fools, Dance, Laughing Sinners and others. Equally interesting is how many movies she was in with Clark Gable, 8 in all, though this is not one of them. But I digress, Joan makes this movie with her convincing portrayal of Jessie Cassidy, a poor working class girl whose low expectations are still hard to meet. She is beautiful and lovely in this film. I would recommend it to those looking for a Joan, that we, who were too young to have ever seen these movies when they were out, would find delightful. Alan Curtis is quite hunky in this picture though less than an honorable character, one can understand why the young Jessie would fall for him. Spencer Tracy seems a little miscast but I suppose he was quite the leading man in his day. Though I've never understood it, I was not alive then and perhaps women of the day thought him attractive, masculine and solid. I think he is one who would look better in color, he looks like a washed out disheveled type that you can't imagine being attracted to. But I think it's the power, honesty and entrepreneur that was attractive to "Jessie" in this picture and as always, there is something to be said for "persistence". There is quite the social commentary in this picture that reminds us that times have not really changed so very much when it comes to those willing to do the hard work to make it and those willing to barely exist with whatever assistance or scheme they can live off of. Some things seem never to change. People are people and always have been. I loved the song in this movie "Always and Always" and found myself still humming it several days later. I became curious about it and tried to find out more about it on the internet. I ended up finding the sheet music on ebay and ordered it for my piano playing mother as a small gift..she's a huge fan of Joan's. ... show more

  • this is Joan's Shining Hour
This is one of those rare pictures that Joan made from the thirties that aren't very glamorous. Even though Joan doesn't get dressed up (except when she's a "walking mannequin" she's still so beautiful in each and every scene that she's in. In this picture, Joan plays Jessie Cassidy, a girl who marries a crook that tries to use her to a cheat a shipping magnate (Spencer Tracy.) This is a first-rate and an important film for many reasons. First, Joan is perfect in this role because this one of those roles that just seems tailor made for her. The lines come out of her mouth like poetry. This is also a great movie because it's the first and only paring of Joan and Spencer Tracy. ... show more

  • Overlooked Gem!
I was surprised when I learned that Joan Crawford and Spencer Tracy made a movie together. I figured it was just another Crawford melodrama, but it's actually a very good film. Crawford is Jesse, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who desperately wants a better life. She hastily marries her boyfriend Eddie Miller (played by Alan Curtis) with hopes of a brighter future. During their wedding reception at a restaurant, they meet shipping magnate John L. Hennessy (Tracy), who immediately falls for her. Before long, Jesse realizes her husband is nothing but a lazy swindler, always looking for the easy way in life. Eventually, she decides enough is enough and leaves him. All this time, Hennessy has been trying to woo her to no avail. When he learns she's separated, he goes all out to win her heart, and finally persuades her to marry him. But Eddie won't bow out gracefully, and wants a big payoff. He tries to blackmail Jesse by threatening to tell her new husband that they were scheming for his money all along. Sure, it's a frothy soap, but this one plays out with humor and loads of charm! Joan Crawford is radiant and her acting takes on new more subtle dimensions. Working with the great Spencer Tracy had a good affect on her (she wrote in her autobiography, "With Spence, I definitely had to learn to underplay."). Tracy was never more handsome or charming as the tough but very sweet Hennessy. He brings a humor to the role that is irresistable! Special mention should be made of the handsome Alan Curtis as the good-for-nothing Eddie Miller. This could have been just a cardboard character, but he brings a smooth sarcastic charm to the roll. You can see why Jesse was attracted to him to begin with, and he holds his own against two larger-than-life stars. All the supporting players hits just the right notes too, making this a movie that definitely should not be overlooked by fans of Crawford, Tracy, or the golden age of Hollywood. A little side note: It's been written that Crawford and Tracy didn't get along during the making of this movie. Don't believe everything you read! ... show more

  • Wonderful unusual dialogue
With some actors you can buy movies sight unseen and know that you will get a great performance. I had only caught the tail end of this movie on TCM and bought it anyway. I enjoyed the movie very much and was particularly impressed with the dialogue. It had an original flavor that is totally absent in movies today and even in my beloved 1940's movies. The 30's were a very interesting time and as I buy more and more movies from this era I come to appreciate them in greater detail. ... show more

  • All time favorite of mine
I love this movie it has a lot of heart and is well written with a great cast. As an Irish person I appreciate that not every Irish person has to be cast in a perfect light and her layabout father is a great character who drags her hardworking mother down and one of the few portrayed that way in early cinema where mostly they were always just policemen. ... show more
