  • Summary

  • "Oh, I loved her so much. Oh, please God, don't ever let anything happen to Veda."

    For our second week discussing the legend Joan Crawford, we are chatting about her Oscar-winning performance in the 1945 film, Mildred Pierce.

    Based on a novel by James M. Cain, Mildred Pierce follows the titular character, played by Joan, as she tries to build a life for herself and her daughters away from her toxic ex husband. What emerges is possibly the most demonic, evil movie villain of all time: Veda Pierce.

    We discuss our thoughts about the film, Veda, and Joan's performance, as well as what 1945 feminist takes don't quite live up to a modern perspective.

    Next Week's Film: Johnny Guitar (1954)
