Mildred Pierce (1945)
Celebrating Women’s History Month with Classic Femme Fatales!
Please join us in our presentation of three of the finest films – with three of the finest femme fatales in cinema history.
Ann Blyth’s Veda Pierce is not only one of cinemas youngest femme fatales, but also one of its evilest. She is “an unusual femme fatale, as her prime victim isn't a man, but her own mother. Poor Mildred (Joan Crawford) sacrifices her own happiness and centers her life around aiding her daughter's ruthless ambitions, which is to social climb her way to a lavish lifestyle. All the men in the movie are of varying degrees of useless and selfish, but none are as wicked as Veda — who uses the fact that her mother will do anything for her to her advantage." - Fiona Underhill; SlashFilm.com
Directed by Michael Curtiz. Not Rated. 111 minutes.
