"What Veda wants, her mother- ""Mildred Pierce""- provides. Even if Mildred must end her middle-class marriage, climb atop the male-dominated business world and marry a wealthy man she doesn`t love. ""I`ll do anything,"" Mildred says in explaining her love for her daughter. But does anything include murder? Based on a novel by James M. Cain, ""Mildred Pierce"" is a classy murder mystery told from a woman`s point of view. And what a woman! Joan Crawford`s portrayal of doting Mildred triumphantly ended a two-year career slump, earned her the Best Actress Academy Award and revitalized her career. Watch MIldred as she sets out to win the affection of her ungrateful child by conquering the world. But watch carefully. Just when you think you`ve got this nominee for five Oscars, Including Best Picture figured out, along comes a shock twist ending!" Director: Michael Curtiz. Actors: Joan Crawford, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott . Black and White. Country: United States. No Subtitles.
