ABOUT THE FILM: The second adaptation of George Kelly’s 1926 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, CRAIG’S WIFE examines the machinations of the domineering Harriet Craig (Rosalind Russell), who marries the upstanding businessman Walter Craig (John Boles), hoping to ensure security, money, and a pristine home. Produced in 1936, CRAIG’S WIFE was one of the first Golden Age Hollywood films featuring women in multiple creative roles. Writer Mary C. McCall Jr. would later serve as the head of the Writer’s Guild in 1951-1952, long-time director Dorothy Arzner would later teach Francis Ford Coppola at UCLA in the 1960s, and editor Viola Lawrence was the first woman to edit a studio film before heading Columbia Studio’s editing department.
