Subject: Mildred Pierce

Written By: Phantom Jessica on 05/08/05 at 3:34 pm

Anyone else seen it? What do you think of it?

I've seen it once before and I adored it. I couldn't find it anywhere though to buy it, so I kind of forgot about it and the plotline. But Turner Classic Movies is showing it right now so I'm watching it again. Joan Crawford is excellent in this movie and Ann Blyth is a total b*tch as Veda.

Two thumbs up.

I was flicking back and forward on the TV and caught the scene when the daughter slapped Joan Crawford the face and ran up the stairs...that's it, I don't know any else of the movie or what it's about...I think it's a movie for chicks only.

I didn't know the name of that actress who played her daughter, but I do know that she played the wife of Lou Gehrig in the movie and she was born and raised in Maplewood NJ...that's all!

(Looks like it was directed by Michael "Captain Blood"+"Casablanca" Curtiz -- not bad)

Where the hell was I to miss this thread! Mildred Pierce is one of my favorite Joan Crawford films (I've seen so many of hers and am in THREE JC fanclubs)
I absolutely love this film. It was done beautifully, the themes are so deep and truthful. I always cry when Kay dies (spoiler alert) and I love watching Veda slap the sheesh out of Joan!
