Great film from Hollywood's Golden Era
This film is a gem from the Hollywood era. Joan Crawford delivers a terrific performance as Mildred Pierce, a middle-aged women desperately trying to provide for her daughters as her marriage collapses. Told mostly in flashbacks, the film opens with a man being shot in a fancy Southern California beach house. The police pick-up Mildred and start questioning her, since it's her 2nd husband who is dead. Mildred recounts the ups and downs or her life and her inexplicable drive to win-over the love of her children, especially her spoiled, demanding eldest daughter named Veda.

The acting in Mildred Pierce is incredible. Crawford hits all the right notes as the workaholic mother with poor taste in men but a golden touch for running a business. She's almost overshadowed by Ann Blyth as the pampered, obnoxious teenage daughter Veda. Zachary Scott as Mildred's playboy second husband and a wisecracking Eve Arden add a lot of color to the cast. Combine great acting with a cracking plot and you'll find that Mildred Pierce is a must-have DVD if you like movies from the 1940-50s.

Joan Crawford in one of her best performances
entertaining Hollywood picture, a little ahead of its time...a woman who runs her own business but does it for the all the wrong reasons

Mildred Pierce
Seemed much better than when I was young. I didn't understand the plot then. Second time 'round it was excellent!

MILDRED PIERCE
I ENJOY ANY JOAN CRAWFORD MOVIES AND THIS ONE IS A GOOD ONE. WELL DONE!

Joan At Her Best!
Good to have this movie in my collection. One of the quintessential Joan Crawford movies. A must have! Acting is superb all the way around, especially Crawford, Blythe, Arden, Scott, and Carson.
