The original Cain story is great. Doesn't the film mess with the ending?

Let's get back to the song as it ROCKS. jungjugugjgugjgugjJUNGjgugjgjgJUNGjugjugjugjgug "Mildred Pierce". I would love to see the movie, though.

I just saw the film again this weekend. A great, but what an exercise in martyrdom!

― Larcole (Nicole), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 11:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I only like Joan Crawford when she is in stag movies.

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 14:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks Spooner.

― Larcole (Nicole), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 14:13 (twenty-three years ago)

No really--she was in stag movies, in the 1920s.

To be honest, I haven't seen them.

But Joan Crawford scares me, so I imagine I'd prefer the stag movies to this and her other Hollywood vehicles.

Liked it, but it didn't rate as a masterpiece to me.

*watching for all the soda missiles being aimed at my direction*

No really--she was in stag movies, in the 1920s.
To be honest, I haven't seen them.

I know she made stag movies, but what does it really have to do with this movie? Not much, except maybe as foil to the corny virtuousness of Mildred Pierce.

― Larcole (Nicole), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 14:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm sorry Larcole, I'll stay on topic for now on.

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 14:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm sorry amateurist -- there was no real reason for me to have been short with you.

― Larcole (Nicole), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 15:55 (twenty-three years ago)

The film. Duh. Classic.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 29 July 2003 20:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah the song roXor big time! Always ends up being the closing song on my mixtapes. Tchika-tchika-doom-doom-doom..

three years pass...

i've never seen this before

there's still a chance that it's the kind of movie where mildred kills her daughter so i'm going to keep my fingers crossed

― j., Friday, 24 August 2018 03:52 (eight years ago)

Weirdly enough I am seeing this tonight.

― xyzzzz__, Friday, 24 August 2018 08:07 (eight years ago)

This came up in conversation recently so I rewatched a bit of it on FilmStruck.

― The Vermilion Sand Reckoner (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 24 August 2018 08:16 (eight years ago)

It's great. I appreciate the insight into what running a diner in the 1940's was like.

― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 24 August 2018 09:21 (eight years ago)

the book is practically a guide ('30s there)

― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Friday, 24 August 2018 10:56 (eight years ago)

The novel was one of my great discoveries of the last decade.

seven years pass...

RIP Ann Blyth!
