    This is an amazing film. Crawford deserved the Oscar.

    What no one ever mentions is the incredible music in this film - dramatic and slightly melancholic, perfectly mirroring Louise’s fraught, confused mental state.

      Certainly "Mildred Pierce" is one of Crawford's best, if not the best, and one of greatest of the genre.

    Wow! What a great analysis of this movie. Only The Great Diva could make two completely unrelated movies, both great, with the same title! 😍😍 Thanks for posting.

    Crawford's noir films are such perfect vehicles for the noir genre, in addition to being stunning visual masterpieces.

    I wonder, when did they stop making film noirs (or is it films noir)? I'm curious because it seems like certain black-and-white films from the 60s might qualify, such as "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane," etc.

      oh, they haven't stopped making them...chinatown, body heat, basic instinct, the last seduction, the usual suspects, l.a. confidential, sin city...every now and then we get one of them!!!

      The 1931 Possessed pairs the Queen and King, Clark Gable. Hard to beat that. Joan's sexy as heck in the earlier Possessed!
