Review of Mildred Pierce (1945) by Gabriel C — 06 Aug 2010

Great film! Really looking forward to seeing more of Michael Curtiz's work!

Side note: Ida is the coolest secondary character from a film noir yet. So sassy, love her!

This is basically a poor-little-rich-girl soap opera, sitting in a (probably unneccessary) murder mystery frame, but why carp when it is filmed…
