Rosalind Russell, widely known as a comedienne from her work in classics including the musical "Auntie Mame" and the screwball comedy "His Girl Friday," was also a noted dramatic actress. This Drama Triple Feature displays her range and gift at playing complicated and dazzling women. "Craig’s Wife" (John Boles. 1936/73 min), based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play and directed by the only working female auteur of the period, Dorothy Azner, is a fascinating character study about an unscrupulous and wealthy wife and her manipulative actions over twenty-four hours in the sprawling family home she shares with her long-suffering husband. In "The Guilt of Janet Ames" (Melvyn Douglas. 1947/83 min), Russell stars in this portrait of a widow traumatized by her husband’s death at war, who meets one of the men her husband saved. In war time melodrama "Five Finger Exercise" (Jack Hawkins. 1962/109 min), a troubled family home rocked by war and conflict is shaken up by the arrival of a handsome music teacher.
