Review of Mildred Pierce (1945) by Eric H — 10 May 2015
Mildred Pierce is a truly amazing movie that is full of twists and turns. The film is not necessarily a film noir but contains heavy elements of film noir. The setting, lights, and shadows especially give the film the film noir look as well.
Mildred Pierce really leaves the viewer on their seat in anxiety as the plot slow unravels.Joan won an Oscar for her breathtaking performance, but the tour de force powerhouse in "Mildred Pierce" was Ann Blyth.
Black hearted Veda was the lynch pin of this movie, and Blyth's portrayal made Veda seem all too real and frightening. Nominated for an Oscar, she should have won.Don't miss this timeless nail-biter.
