Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Harriet Craig is a 1950 drama film directed by Vincent Sherman and starring Joan Crawford. It is a loose adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1925 play Craig's Wife.Crawford is Harriet Craig, the middle-aged wife of well-to-do scientist Walter Craig (Wendell Corey). Harriet is a domineering control freak, controlling and manipulating not only her husband but also their houseguest, Harriet's young cousin Claire (K.T. Stevens), while routinely terrorizing the help.Harriet undermines Claire's budding romance with Walter's young co-worker Wes (William Bishop), because she doesn't want to lose Claire's unpaid labor as a servant. And when she finds out that Walter is getting a promotion that will send him to Japan for three months, and thus he will be three months out from under her thumb, she seeks to undermine that as well—with disastrous consequences.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Control Freak: Harriet is this. She demands everything in the house be just so. She flips her lid when the Ming vase on the mantel is moved a couple of inches. She hates everything that ties Walter to his old pre-Harriet life, which is why she works so hard to prevent him going out with old friend Billy Birkmire.

Child Hater: Harriet is one. She lied to her husband and said she was infertile. She is clearly very very unhappy when the neighbor boy keeps coming into the house and pestering Walter to fix his radio.

Cool Old Lady: When Walter wants to have a party, Harriet undermines him by inviting his boss, which she knows will cause Walter's old friends to not attend. This backfires on her however when Celia Fenwick, Walter's boss's wife, turns out to be an awesome cool old lady, and she and Walter hit it off.
