Craig's Wife

In the original version of the better-known re-make (Harriet Craig, 1950), Harriet (Rosalind Russell) re-takes command of her house and servants Nydia Westman and Jane Darwell, after a trip out of town, in Craig's Wife, 1936.

The domestic staff (Jane Darwell and Nydia Westmond) are introduced along with Walter (John Boles), Ellen (Alma Kruger) and neighbor Mrs. Frazier (Billie Burke) in Dorothy Arzner's 1936 version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Craig's Wife, starring Rosalind Russell.

Harriet (Rosalind Russell), having decided to separate her niece Ethel (Dorothy Wilson) from her gravely ill mother, deflates her notions of romantic love, on the train home, in Dorothy Arzner's Craig's Wife, 1936, remade with Joan Crawford as Harriet Craig, 1950.
