An undisputed classic.

The tragedy of Mildred Pierce is an essential film noir.

The archetypal Joan Crawford movie.

A hearty genre pic fraught with tense social/sexual anxieties.
October 17, 2007
A class feature, showmanly produced by Jerry Wald and tellingly directed by Michael Curtiz.

Joan Crawford is playing a most troubled lady, and giving a sincere and generally effective characterization of same.
