...Woman Is Dangerous (Warner) shows how Joan Crawford loses her eyesight and then finds true love in the antiseptic arms of the surgeon who saves her vision. The stumbling block to this romance is that Joan, as usual, has a lurid past: she is the brain, front woman and nursemaid to a pair of hysterical gunmen (David Brian and Philip Carey).

For the better part of an hour, worried Norma played nursemaid (ice baths, salve, liniment and heavy wrappings) to Country Boy's bruised left fetlock. Such concern was only common sense to Norma: "After all, the horse is 60% of my success." Her own 40% contribution is "rhythm" and "getting to know" Country Boy, plus 22 years of riding experience in a 27-year lifetime...
