There is a documentary clip in which Betsy Palmer smiles and purrs something like “perhaps Joan wasn’t happy with the quality of [Lucy Marlow’s] performance…”

The movie "Queen Bee" is HILARIOUS camp that should be more well known. Chocked full of bitchy dialogue & one-liners. But also a poignant character study of a Bitch (Joan) who's had to take on a hard exterior to protect herself, but underneath it all loves her husband (Barry Sullivan) & kids.

That slap sound effect is right out of a Three Stooges short.

Christina Crawford indicated Joan's character Eva in "Queen Bee" was the way she was in real life at home.

R4 That Christina is so absurd. She actually trembles when I talk to her. You'd think she'd never seen a beautiful woman before!

Slapped Lucy Marlowe right out of the business.

My favorite thing about this is that you can see Lucy dreading the f*ck out of this long before it comes at her.

Will Smith's bitch slap was a weak one. Chris Rock didn't even cry. Joan delivered a manly slap.
