00:07 Joan Crawford, movie history maker.
00:11 The girl who rose from a nightclub to a reigning screen personality.
00:15 Millions of words in 40 languages have been printed about Joan Crawford.
00:20 The world over, she has delighted cinema goers in more than 30 outstanding pictures.
00:25 It was not long after the screen found its voice that Joan clicked in a big way with Clark Gable in Possessed.
00:32 That's what I am, common, and I like it.
00:35 That's what I like about Al. He's my own kind.
00:38 That's the level I belong to, and that's the level I'm going back to.
00:42 Dancing Lady won Joan a new legion of admirers.
00:46 A famous scene from Grand Hotel.
00:49 You know, you are entirely different from what I expected.
00:53 Different, how?
00:56 Oh, I don't know. I thought you were more of a coquette.
01:01 And now in the best Joan Crawford tradition comes this story of a shop girl's millions, Mannequin.
01:08 Joan is co-starred for the first time with your choice for honors among the first ten of Hollywood's most popular players, Spencer Tracy.
01:17 Through the doors of this factory flowed girls, girls, girls, each with a dream and a hope beyond reaching.
01:24 But one girl achieved her dream.
01:27 Hey, who ordered that?
01:28 Mr. Hennessey.
01:29 Mr. Hennessey?
01:31 Which Hennessey?
01:33 Oh, John L. Hennessey.
01:37 What are you trying to tell me, Mark?
01:41 Live your life for yourself, Jess.
01:43 Always remember what it is you want.
01:46 Get it, anyway you can.

02:04 I know that I'm about a month ahead of things if I follow the rules, but I don't want to follow the rules.
02:09 I'm old enough to know what I want.
02:11 You.
02:12 And when I want it.
02:13 Now.
02:15 Alan Curtis, this chap is going places.
02:19 Step outside and make those cracks.
02:20 I'll make them in Macy's window.
02:22 You're a small-timer and you'll never get any bigger.
02:24 You were born and raised in Hester Street.
02:25 Mark my words, that's where you're going to stay.
02:27 You shut up.
02:28 I'll handle this kid.
02:29 Attention, Crawford fans.
02:31 Here's the Joan Crawford you applauded in Chain, Possessed, Grand Hotel.
02:36 Attention, Tracy admirers.
02:38 Spencer Tracy brings you another magnificent performance in Mannequin.
02:43 Attention, everybody.
02:45 You'll not see a better picture of its kind this year than Mannequin.
