S1E5 Joan Crawford- Mildred Pierce 1945

Sunday, July 13, 2025 • Duration 51:58

This week we are discussing the 1945 film Mildred Pierce starring Joan Crawford. We have a lot to say about this movie, and this costume, and Coleen has strong opinions about Joan's stint as a nightlife dancer and chorus girl. This is a good one, our best yet! Two corrections from our book, this movie was nominated for best picture, but lost to The Lost Weekend. Also Crawford left her MGM contract in 1943 (not the late 1930s), and signed almost immediately with Warner Brothers. Thanks to Robin on Amazon for the notes.
