Review of Queen Bee

Queen Bee (1955)
7/10
Queen Bee-Crawford Takes the Sting Out of You ***
2 September 2007
Joan Crawford's best role since 1952's "Sudden Fear." In "Queen Bee" she is a manipulative woman who has caused misery to husband Barry Sullivan.

Inviting her cousin to her home, the cousin soon discovers that everyone in the house is just miserable as they are in the orbit of a vicious Crawford.

John Ireland, who works for Sullivan, loves his sister, a very good Betsy Palmer here. Unfortunately, the Queen Bee was once a love interest of Ireland and right before the wedding, she tells this to Carol (Palmer) causing her to commit suicide.

Crawford's young children with Sullivan are miserable as well and how can you blame them with a mother like this?

When John Ireland discovers what Barry Sullivan has planned for Crawford, he takes matters in his own hand. Change partners and kill?
