FAYE DUNAWAY, who plays Joan, cannot be blamed for the failure of this film. She is a fine actress, and the work she invested to perfect her Joan Crawford imitation is evident throughout. Her recreation of Crawford's seductive, almost sneer-like frown is remarkable. And the make-up artists deserve credit, too, for Dunaway looks as well as acts the part.

Lack has a cherubic expression on his face, and his lines issue forth like ripples on the Dead Sea. At least Dane can sneer with the best of them, and that never hurts in standard garbage matinee...
...when Super Bowl XV finally drew to a close, the Raiders had the last sneer. With a 27-10 drubbing of Philadelphia, which was favored to win, Oakland became the first wild-card team to win the Super Bowl. Thus the Raiders could gleefully ask: Guess who shot the Eagles...
