“mildred pierce” is not about southern california during the depression . it’s about mildred pierce . why is it that so many viewers either want to focus on mildred’s role as a working woman / successful businesswoman and somewhat ignore her relationship with her elder daughter , veda ? is it because veda was never punished , as she was in the 1945 movie ? or is it because no one wants to acknowledge that mildred was complicit in the development of veda’s monstrous personality ?

the film , adapted loosely from the james m . cain novel of the same name , tells the story of mildred pierce and her journey to business success and personal failure . much of the film’s moody opening seems as if it is trying to force mildred into the role of noir’s usual femme fatale , but as the narrative succumbs to its flashbacks , her motherhood , as well as other factors , complicates this .

in 1941 , cain published mildred pierce , his first novel to focus on a female protagonist ; in 1945 , it was duly made into a film , starring joan crawford in her only oscar - winning performance , as an overprotective mother trying to cover up for her homicidal daughter . that version of mildred pierce is now a classic piece of stylish film noir ; but its plot and tone diverge sharply from the novel , a more ostensibly

story about a divorced woman trying to raise her daughters in depression - era california . now the film - maker todd haynes has returned to cain ' s original text to bring us a mini - series of mildred pierce , with a cast including kate winslet in the title role , evan rachel wood as the treacherous daughter and guy pearce .
before he had a script , todd haynes told me he was thinkig of making a film of the james m . cain novel mildred pierce . todd and i had previously worked together on velvet goldmine , and i found him to be a musically astute director . i remembered a subplot to the 1945 joan crawford film of mildred involving a musical daughter , but todd told me that this thread was much more prominent in the novel ( which i hadn ' t read ) , and this would be reflected in his film .

at the start of mildred pierce we see monte shot down in a beach house , but we don’t see who did it . at the climax of the film , we’ll see a flashback replay the murder , filling in elements that were suppressed in the earlier version . in these sequences , director michael curtiz and the film’s screenwriters make choices about at least three narrative conventions .
adapted to film in 1945 , mildred pierce has long been one of my favorite old hollywood stories , so i was very excited to come across a vintage copy of the book at a used book shop . now i can say that i’ve read the book , seen the film several time , and watched the hbo miniseries… so , here are my thoughts on them all !
rob reiner ' s film rests on broad , sweeping proclamations about the importance of factual reporting .
fidelity may be a buttress of marriage , but it is sometimes a burden on film adaptations .
because of script problems some of the film was improvised by the actors together with michael curtiz .
michael curtiz and joan crawford would clash frequently over crawford ' s insistence that mildred pierce would always be dressed glamorously . curtiz felt this was inappropriate for a working mother while crawford said it was because mildred was proud and wanted to project an upwardly mobile appearance .

mildred pierce begins to shift between past and present when the protagonist discloses her back story to the police . this film technique brings to light mildred’s character development and eventually exposes her husband’s murderer . it also intrigues the viewer , leaving them constantly guessing who the killer is . for example , in the introduction , the viewer is lead to believe that mildred is the culprit and later that her ex - husband is guilty of the crime . as the movie progresses , the viewer is even tricked into suspecting wally killed mildred’s husband out of jealousy . this enhances the shock the audience feels when the film ultimately reveals that veda is the true murderer .

mildred pierce provides insight to the psychological desire to be needed that so many crave . so many aspects of the human psychological condition and experience can be seen in this classic film . the aspect of the deep desire to be needed is brilliantly delivered to the audience through a riveting and enticing storyline , presenting to the audience a tale of desire and passion and the constant battle of mildred pierce to live her life in the way that most fulfilled her . the director did a superb job in the film when it came to the film form . the film started off in present time and then moved to the past in a chronological order , occasionally returning to the present until the final scene which finished the film in the present . also , the narration of the film added a great effect to the movie as it was coming from the main character mrs . mildred pierce and then slowly vanished with the audience barely noticing it was missing . although through her journey mildred encountered many obstacles and tribulations , she continued to fight on for her daughter , consistently trying to buy herself a place into veda’s life . she fought until the end when even all she had done no longer counted , and she lost the person most important in her life , the one she craved to be needed by the most .

i find it interesting that you focused on the psychological features of this film because those were the aspects that stood out to me as well , as opposed to the murder story line . while this film certainly has some film noir characteristics , with the inclusion of the murder of monte , i was not riveted to the screen until the film started to delve into mildred’s past . her obsession with being needed was really the driving force for the entire film , and it could be argued that had it not been for her desire to be needed , the murder may not have occurred in the first place .
when mildred pierce ' s out - of - work husband leaves her for another woman , mildred decides to raise her two daughters on her own . despite mildred ' s financial successes in the restaurant business , her oldest daughter , veda , resents her mother for degrading their social status . in the midst of a police investigation after the death of her second husband , mildred must evaluate her own freedom and her complicated relationship with her daughter .
if todd haynes ' s mildred pierce was going out as a feature film , it would be a very big event , and even now i wonder if hbo could not put on a special epic - length theatrical release – a five - hour extravaganza , rather like olivier assayas ' s carlos , that whoppingly long film that started life as a television series and just seemed to zip past in an instant .

a scheduling conflict means that the melodrama research group will meet in jarman 6 for the screening of mildred pierce at 4 . 30pm on tuesday the 20th of may – a little later than originally planned .
in an interview with david frost , joan crawford revealed that michael curtiz wanted barbara stanwyck to play mildred pierce , but joan won him over after a screen test with her co - star ann blyth .
the fact that you make mention of the flashback is a winner in my opinion . the flashback in this film showed the different side of mildred’s character and how she grew throughout the film . it also was a way for the plot to move from mildred’s story of why her ex husband could not have killed monte , and it turns the flashback into the actual murder mystery story .
the misleading narration of mildred pierce has its parallel in crime fiction , particularly the thrillers of the 1940s . see this entry on the site for more background . a ruth rendell novel , wolf to the slaughter ( 1967 ) , contains a boldly misleading opening that is somewhat similar to what happens in our film .

tough guy : james m . cain interviewed
in film comment may - june , 1976 .
jack l . warner originally wanted vincent sherman to direct the film but jerry wald held out for michael curtiz .
along with a trailer . good film and i ' d like to know more about the sepia tint .
michael curtiz’ film was also discussed in relation to james m . cain’s novel . it was noted that curtiz’ film kept a flavour of cain’s punchy social commentary . we were a little surprised that under hollywood’s production code fairly obvious references to extra - marital sex and pregnancy were included . the film was still , as variety noted in its review , fairly cleaned up from the novel . while in cain’s novel veda became a successful opera singer – and therefore profited from her hideous behaviour – in curtiz’ film she ends up a low - rent cabaret act . a more significant difference is mildred’s response to finding her eldest daughter veda ( ann blyth ) and mildred’s second husband monte ( zachary scott ) in a compromising position . in cain’s novel mildred is so enraged she attempts to strangle her daughter . such an understandable response is not present in curtiz’ film , though . instead mildred’s suffering sacrifice is played to the hilt . mildred’s one refusal of veda’s demands occurs when veda has shot monte dead . mildred soon reconsiders , however , and is prepared to take responsibility for the crime herself .
i pity the screenwriter who had to adapt the novel , mildred pierce , from 289 pages down to an hour and 57 minute movie . the main character , mildred pierce , repeatedly steps out of the traditional role for women of that era , and challenges society’s norms about class . significant changes were made to the plot while converting it from book to movie . these changes add up to a significant difference in the meaning .

to audiences who’ve read or seen the film version of “mommie dearest” — the story of the very unhappy childhood reportedly inflicted by crawford on her own adopted daughter , christina — however , the film resonates in a way that it did not when first seen seven decades ago , as “mildred pierce” is the story of a mother so self - sacrificing and dedicated to her daughter that the girl grows up well groomed , well educated and completely ungrateful .
mildred pierce was also famously adapted in the much - loved 1945 film starring joan crawford – the actress won an oscar for her portrayal . “i deliberately didn’t see the film because i felt i might feel under terrible pressure , ” winslet says . “i mean , who wouldn’t , for god’s sake ? joan crawford won an academy award in that role and i just didn’t want to scare myself . acting is scary enough as it is . ”
james m . cain ' s novel mildred pierce : comparing the book and movie version mildred pierce is one of the greatest novels written by james m . cain . after the success of the novel , the hollywood film came out , produced by jerry wald . the novel and the movie are very different from each other . “james m . cain sent several letters of complaint to producer jerry wald , objecting to the changes wald wanted to make , especially the dramatic idea of making veda a washout musically and putting her in a tawdry nightclub” ( bennett notes ) . the three main differences in the film were , the murder of monte , veda not having a successful career , and the time period only covering 1941 to 1945 . the main difference between the film and the novel
, the film , is one of those that gets better with each viewing – with wonderful performances across the board , a gorgeous noir and story that render it unforgettable . it is certainly worthy of a post dedicated to its merits as a film alone . that one is to come – one of these days . i’ll give one view i have toward the film now – that is that although joan crawford won the best actress academy award for her depiction of the film’s title character , and a damn good acting performance it is , it’s ann blyth’s portrayal of veda that lingers . she’s magnificent in a despicable sort of way . actually , she may well be the most hateful character in all of film to me . here’s the film’s original trailer to whet your appetite if you’ve yet to see the film…
when mildred pierce ' s ( joan crawford ) wealthy husband leaves her for another woman , mildred decides to raise her two daughters on her own . despite mildred ' s financial successes in the restaurant business , her oldest daughter , veda ( ann blyth ) , resents her mother for degrading their social status . in the midst of a police investigation after the death of her second husband ( zachary scott ) , mildred must evaluate her own freedom and her complicated relationship with her daughter .
along these same lines , in cain’s novel mildred has a very healthy sexual appetite and enjoys physical relationships with both wally and monte . the film steers away from this characterization after that day at the beach because it is simply not acceptable . in the film the character of wally pursues her but never quite gets anywhere .

although mildred ' s maternal sacrifice is portrayed as noble , some have claimed that the film is cautionary and anti - feminist , with mildred presented as a typical 1940 ' s post - war housewife whose ' american dream - fulfilling ' role - switching movement from suburban , middle - class home - maker to divorced , successful business entrepreneur ( restaurant - chain owner ) results in corruptive , destructive disaster ( both financial and personal ) . this was symbolized in the film in movements from bright , daytime s . california scenes to dark , criminal , nightmarish scenes . the film ' s taglines described mildred ' s character :

the film opens with a dramatic shooting rather than an argument between mildred and her husband , which was how the novel opened . the rest of the film’s story is told through the frame of a police interrogation , with mildred recounting her sordid tale through flashbacks . though it differs from the book , this structure is successfully used , bringing a great sense of tension and a noir - style edge to the story .

back in 1992 i wrote an essay about this technique . “cognition and comprehension : viewing and forgetting in mildred pierce ” focuses on the murder of monte beragon in the 1945 film . a revised version of the essay appears in poetics of cinema and is now available on this website . the piece tries to show that a cognitive approach to comprehension and recollection can explain how a film shapes viewers’ responses—in this case , creating mystery while making viewers forget certain things they’ve seen .

the replay explains why mildred contemplated drowning herself afterward : she was in despair at the couple’s treachery and the crime that veda committed . when suicide was blocked , mildred tried to frame wally for the murder in order to protect veda . and the replay suggests that it’s not mildred but veda who drives off from beach house , leaving mildred to drift down to the pier .
this film , a tremendous box - office hit and critical success , was an adaptation by ranald macdougall and catherine turney ( and william faulkner ) of james m . cain ' s 1941 ' hard - boiled ' novel of the same name . cain ' s original novel was a satire about bourgeois values , and a tale of poor parenthood . [ note : cain was responsible for two sources for film noir classics - his 1936 novella for double indemnity ( 1944 ) and his best - selling work for mildred pierce ( 1945 ) . ] atypical for film noirs , the main protagonist in the film is a female - but she is typically brought down by a femme fatale - her own daughter . the intriguing murder story is told with a flashback structure reminiscent of citizen kane ( 1941 ) . successful promotional copy for the film read :

mildred pierce won crawford the oscar she desperately coveted and still endures as her most popular picture . while the film launched her on a new phase as an icon of pulp torment , it is distinct from the rest because it is superbly nasty noir that plays havoc with the era ' s american ideals of women , home , mom and her apple pie .
and “mildred pierce , ” a beautifully made mini - series that begins sunday on hbo and stars kate winslet , proves the point . it’s a five - part drama that is loyally , unwaveringly true to james m . cain ’s 1941 novel and somehow not nearly as satisfying as the 1945 film noir that took shameless liberties with plot , characters and settings .
mildred pierce is the third joan crawford film i have been lucky enough to see in theaters this past year or so . the first one i saw was johnny guitar , and i really enjoyed it . the second was pretty recently , and it was flamingo road , and was so much better than i had expected . you can read that review here :

the promise of this film’s title — which can be taken both ironically and sincerely — is that those two things can go together , that success and virtue can walk hand in hand . this is close to a definition of the american dream , and while mr . mccarthy treats it with a raised eyebrow , he forgoes easy cynicism or knowing satire . this means that “win win” goes a bit soft in places , protecting its characters from serious danger or tough moral reckoning . but the film’s niceness is also central to its appeal , because nearly all of the characters are people you enjoy spending time with .
an anonymous phone call to the massachusetts racing commission put an end to those tactics . the riders in question were made to re - weigh in and the handsome young clerk of scales was quietly given a demotion .
crouched in the doorway of the bond store . an unlocked door had yielded behind him . it was a heaven - sent chance to elude his enemies . he backed into the store to hide and not to thieve .
i thought that the stadium was going to bring in revenues to pay its way . i guess that pnm sycophants will believe any lame brain excuse from this govt . the biggest caribbean cricketing affair gone to the qpcc .
“squizzy” added two new techniques to his repertoire . he supplied costly “protection” to certain bookmakers and big punters , and he sought to intimidate detectives who dared to impede his plans . he made dark threats that he would shoot leading detectives , but went no further . never once did “the turk” marshal
when captain hook kidnaps his children , an adult peter pan must return to neverland and reclaim his youthful spirit in order to challenge his old enemy .
you could analyze
riding the rap
and try to learn how to write like him . the plot is complicated , but if you study it you see how it ' s structured , and how characters are like chess pieces . they have restricted powers , determined by their level of intelligence . bad guys , no matter how terrifying , are ultimately undone by their own evil nature . when you see these basics , and the techniques of plot construction , you only need elmore leonard ' s wit , his eye for places and people , his ear for dialogue , and his vision , or the mysterious ability to control the development of a story . after you get that , just write his kind of sentences , which are the essence and life of his pages . for example ,
riding the rap
begins this way :
but brown’s win is here for more than just its historic qualities . it’s also here because his speech was probably the best of the night , with a stirring tribute to performances that had won in his category before ( including breaking bad’ s bryan cranston and mad men’ s jon hamm ) and a terrific nod toward braugher himself .
into the woods is a modern twist on the beloved brothers grimm fairy tales in a musical format that follows the classic tales of cinderella , little red riding hood , jack and the beanstalk , and rapunzel - all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife , their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch who has put a curse on them .
playing devil’s advocate , i asked how many people planned to make the journey to the brian lara stadium in tarouba for the knockout stages if tkr qualify .
acting superintendent of the cib , fred piggott , hurried to the hospital to find that “squizzy” had just died . he raced back to barkly st and found the body of cutmore in the bed . two bullets had pierced his breast .
jon tanklage ( 31 ) is a former water - skier who started riding in 2001 . he entered two “clydesdale” ( 200 + lbs . ) mtb bike races that year . i began coaching jon october 2001 . during his first full year of racing he won every race he entered including the 2002 state championships in the 30 - 34 beginner category . his finish times were also fast enough to win the sport title . later that year , he was the strongest rider on the winning 4 - man team of the socal 24 - hours of adrenaline . in 2003 he bypassed sport and went straight to expert . to everyone ' s surprise , he destroyed the competition and won the expert state title . jon squeezes his training into a busy schedule raising three kids with his wife and maintaining a full - time executive career .

but louis - dreyfus also set a completely different record with her win , then built upon that record a few moments later . entering the awards , she was tied with carl reiner for the winningest emmy champ who had won at least one of those awards for performing , thanks to her seven acting prizes and two prizes for producing veep . ( reiner won three awards for acting , then most of his others for writing and creating the dick van dyke show . ) her acting win pushed her one ahead of reiner , and then when veep won the series trophy shortly thereafter , she went two ahead of him .
the break arrives , and of course things get complicated . one of mike’s clients is an old man named leo ( burt young ) , who is slipping into senility with no family to care for him . mike persuades a judge to name him leo’s guardian , figuring there will not be any harm done if he pockets the monthly stipend and installs his ward in a nursing home . and this initial win - win situation pays a surprising dividend when leo’s teenage grandson shows up , on the run from an unhappy domestic situation in ohio . the boy , kyle ( alex shaffer ) , who seems a little threatening at first , turns out to be not only a nice kid but also a remarkably talented wrestler . he comes to live with mike’s family , enrolls at the high school and for a while allows mike to bask in the kind of all - american self - satisfaction that won sandra bullock an oscar for “the blind side . ”

debbie downing is a retired jockey . she started riding in 1977 at all of the new england tracks , even the “bullrings” – the bush league tracks . she rode during a time when women jockeys had it incredibly tough , tough to break into the sport , tough to be taken seriously . these were the 70’s , and still , women had to prove themselves . debbie did that , “you gotta want it really , really bad ! ” gutsy , gritty , lion - hearted… these women jockeys were true pioneers . they each have a story , but their shared , common thread was sheer determination and something else , a quality only known to these brave women .
the moment when it became clear just how well big little lies was about to do wasn’t laura dern winning in her supporting category — though it was a decent sign — but alexander skarsgård pulling out an upset in his . and once director jean - marc vallée won , too , big little lies ’ eventual limited series win was all but a done deal .
but veteran forward lisa de vanna , who scored a double against the brazilians to become the matildas ' all - time greatest goal scorer , is also crucial to the plans to achieve a best - ever finish in france in two years ' time .

by contrast to the drugging of horses , race - fixing seemed more light - humored to me . perhaps because , as an apprentice , i was to be a chief beneficiary . during one race , i was able to maintain a larger lead than secretariat enjoyed in his romp at the belmont . i coasted to an easy victory , never uncocking my whip , while my peers in the back argued over who was going to be second . all of them received lengthy suspensions for their less than sterling performances .

the last time a black actor won the lead actor in a drama series trophy , it was andre braugher , for homicide , back in 1998 . and the last time an actor in a broadcast series won this prize , it was james spader for abc’s boston legal in 2007 . sterling k . brown’ s highly deserved win for this is us , then , stood out as a big win in multiple ways . ( broadcast dramas , in particular , have struggled mightily in the 2010s , with this is us being the first nominated for drama series since the good wife in 2011 . )
raylan is merely indifferent to the extreme danger of bad guys like dale , because he understands , as a more liberally minded person never could , that bad guys are truly bad . he is undeceived by their pretensions to decency , and their exceptional ability to be charming . he knows bad guys do bad , and he gives them a chance to be what they are . we learn that raylan once sat face to face with a mafia type , waiting for him to go for his gun . raylan then shot him dead . to the police this is awesome proof of guts and competence . to raylan ' s girlfriend , it is reprehensible . the opposition of these views haunts raylan . he can ' t explain it to his girlfriend , but he knows he did right , or did good .

mr . mccarthy neatly sets up the elements that will bring about mike’s self - deluding rise , his near - calamitous fall and his eventual redemption . there are no real surprises , but this is not to say that “win win” is rote or formulaic . quite the opposite . mr . mccarthy , who has written and directed two other features — and who is a first - rate character actor specializing in second - rate characters — has a deep and nuanced understanding of the rules of comedy , which is at once the most rigorous and the most elastic of narrative genres . he also possesses a sharp wit and a generous spirit , mocking his characters without meanness and lampooning their social circumstances without condescension .
the youth of the matildas squad has impressed stajcic as he eyes off next year ' s asian cup , as well as the world cup , with the likes of striker sam kerr playing a starring role in the win over brazil on the back of her hat - trick against japan earlier in the week .

chris dunnachie , senior health and safety inspector at the council , said :
east riding college has been at the forefront in the locality , working with enforcement inspectors from the council and health and safety executive to improve salon health and safety practices , particularly promoting measures to prevent occupational dermatitis .
if students - the salon owners of the future - can accept the wearing of non - latex gloves for shampooing as the norm , supplemented by regularly moisturising hands and undertaking skin checks , the historical acceptance of bleeding and cracked skin as ' part of the job ' will be challenged and these practices improved for everyone in the hair and beauty sectors .
