Craig's Wife, the 1936 Dorothy Arzner domineering wife relationship melodrama ("What was the sin of Craig's wife?"; "The play that electrified Blase Broadway now lays bare the heart of a woman and her one consuming passion!"; "Craig's wife was the talk of the town... Craig's wife lived a life of shocking sham... Craig's wife locked her door to the world.... What was the sin of Craig's wife?"; "Behind locked doors she lived a life of sham!"; "The Pulitzer Prize play"; "From the play by George Kelly"; about a woman who marries for money and uses her husband for social standing, only to have her entire life implode with dire consequences) starring Rosalind Russell (in the title role as Harriett Craig), John Boles (in the title role as Walter Craig), Billie Burke, Jane Darwell, Dorothy Wilson, Alma Kruger, Thomas Mitchell, Robert Allen, and Raymond Walburn. Like most of director Arzner's movies, this one dealt with a very independent woman who "goes her own way" in life! Also note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979.

Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic.
