Mammina cara (1981)
La celebre diva hollywoodiana Joan Crawford dipinta, nei suoi aspetti peggiori, nella biografia della figlia adottiva Christine: nevrotica, alcolizzata, isterica, paranoica, collerica sino quasi al sadismo. E i figli adottivi (quattro nella realtà, due nel film) ne sopportano le conseguenze. Christine per due volte viene messa in collegio, il secondo dei quali è una specie di casa di correzione.
