Crawford is perfect for this part...she is just so cold and hard.
Originally, the studio bought the rights for Garbo...but Garbo quit MGM so Crawford was able to sink her teeth into the role.

Followed by the obligatory Joan Crawford smacking someone around. Definitely the film's campiest moment.

Andrea, that was a a great call about her looking softer and prettier in this one. The hair, the plain makeup (that matters a lot too) and, in this scene with Veidt, her simple not heavily stylized clothes makes her look pretty not severe, I like it.

12 operations.
I love the slight background music in this operation and recovery sequence.
Cukor keeps the background music out of many scenes. So that when we get it, in this sequence, it's very effective. Introspective almost.

Galatea or Frankenstein...?
No background music as the bandages come off.

The real-life Crawford was quite focused on her beauty too:
"The Buckle"
An excerpt: And in its finale, Feud suggests that Joan Crawford, established as particularly obessed with maintaining her beauty throughout the series, received a procedure referred to as a "buckle," which involves multiple teeth being removed in order to give the star sunken, thin-looking cheeks
