Craig’s Wife

First, the Three Stooges have to testify in court and call an unusual witness: a dancer who reveals the truth by stripping in front of the judge. In CRAIG'S WIFE, however, things are very different: Harriet Craig once married her husband for the sake of prestige and money. Above all, she hoped the marriage would give her independence. This charade went well for a long time, but now even the wistful husband realises that he doesn't really play a role in his wife's life ... What makes a house a home? Dorothy Arzner, the only woman to have a directing career in classic Hollywood cinema, explores this question in an oppressive character study - Rosalind Russell celebrates her first leading role as a beastly materialist.
