“Mildred Pierce”
The James M. Cain Hard-Boiled Classic Novel to Slightly Gritty 1945 Classic Film
The Margos put on some extra shoulder pads and finish out their Joan Crawford movie streak with the 1945 classic film noir Mildred Pierce which is based on 1941 novel by JM Cain. In this potboiler of an ep they discuss
- Joan Crawford’s amazing performance
- The handsy-ness of the male characters
- Differences between the book and movie (Thank Hays Code!)
- The awfulness of Veda
- The sexiness of the 2011 Mini Series starring Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce
- Ann Blyth and her amazing voice
- The sad fate of Butterfly McQueen
