CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Davis P Mildred Pierce (1945) is one of American cinemas biggest classics. One of old Hollywood's most famous stars, Joan Crawford, plays the lead. And I must say that Crawford plays her starring role very well. Ann Blythe plays her ungrateful morally inept daughter. Crawfords character, Mildred Pierce, spends her life trying to please her greedy selfish daughter Veda, and eventually this all comes to a sudden tragic end. The movie is acted well, it's written well, and it's got a nice twist in the plot. Crawford plays the role with a certain determination, she is strong at times but then weak whenever her daughter Veda is involved. And I adore how Blythe plays Veda, her daughter. Blythe plays her with an unbelievably brutal attitude, greediness and pure selfishness is what makes up her entire being. And when her mother gets fed up with her, she begs and promises to change, then Of course the rotten girl continues on. I suggest this classic drama. 8/10 for Mildred Pierce.

rooak I came to this with high expectations, and ended feeling somewhat disappointed. Sure, the look was great (excellent camera work) and the music superb. Joan Crawford was good for her part, but so much of her speech was exposition—not at all conversational or realistic. Jack Carson and Eve Arden were scene-stealers whenever they were in shot—fantastic. The rest of the cast were wooden in their performances, almost reading their lines and so obviously "acting." And the writing was a real disappointment. Take each conversation, and it's hard to believe that anyone would ever talk that way. Still, I've seen plenty worse! But it isn't really a movie that I would have any desire to revisit.

Alex da Silva Zachary Scott (Monte) is shot dead at the beginning of the film and the police make arrests. His wife Joan Crawford (Mildred) is one of those arrested and relates her story in flashback to Inspector Moroni Olsen (Peterson) but Olsen is playing a cat-and-mouse game with his interview technique in order to catch the killer.I liked this film. It has nice sets and a good story. You spend time double guessing where the story will go and sometimes you get it right. Sometimes you don't. The cast are all good portraying their characters how they need to be with the exception of the ridiculous comedy maid Butterfly McQueen (Lottie). She loses the film a mark and should have been completely deleted from the film. What an annoying voice! The film has a lesson for all - don't spoil your children. If you think they are turning into daughter Ann Blyth (Veda) kick them out immediately and cease communication. It's the only way.

j-goslin This film made history for many reasons. The major reason was the fact that the main character was a woman and that she was successful and making money. This was not uncommon for the time period because of the war just ending and the men that had been drafted were just re-entering the work force. I am proud to say that the production staff did a good job on this film because I did not see the ending coming. The cinematography of the film was outstanding and the lighting especially helped convey the mood that the characters were trying to form. I would recommend this film to anyone who is interested in a different kind of movie that will keep you guessing long after it is finished.
