“ Autumn Leaves is a 1956 American psychological drama film directed by Robert Aldrich and starring Joan Crawford in an older woman/younger man tale of mental illness. The film was distributed by Columbia Pictures . The screenplay was written by Jean Rouverol and Hugo Butler , though it was credited to Jack Jevne (serving as a front), since Rouverol and Butler were blacklisted at the time of the film's release.
Joan Crawford turns in a stunning performance as an aging spinster who, in the autumn of her years, marries a good-looking younger man (Robertson) only to find that he has a very tormented past and is mentally disturbed. Nat King Cole sings the title song.
