Leslie Becker, James Moye, Brad Oscar, and More to Star in Industry Reading of JOAN CRAWFORD IN... FLESH & BLOOD!

'Joan Crawford in... "FLESH & BLOOD!"' will receive a special industry reading on October 18th, 2017, starring Leslie Becker, James Moye, and KLea Blackhurst with Brad Oscar.

In the play, written by Joe Major, Oscar-winner Joan Crawford returns to the big screen in FLESH & BLOOD! a never-before-seen film noir potboiler from 1955 that was so truly awful, the studio canceled its release. Yet Crawford's performance in this 62 year-old bomb is rumored to be "so transcendent" that it's like watching her perform the entire role "live"! Now, thanks to the Yesteryear Film Society's "theatrical" screening of this lost gem, film fans everywhere can finally see Crawford's masterful star turn as Beulah Drake, a New York City house frau who is left by her deadbeat husband to care for their hateful daughter, Trixie. Desperate to give her child a normal upbringing, Beulah unwittingly embezzles money from the Cajun mafia and must ultimately seek refuge within the seedy world of children's television!
