Mildred Pierce (1945), Joan Crawford: The Ultimate Movie Star (2002) 2 x DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Told in flashback, "Mildred Pierce" opens with a murder and a trip to police headquarters, where we learn that Mildred was a self-sacrificing middle class woman, whose every decision was motivate by her blind lover of her children, particularly her daughter Veda (Ann Blyth).
To give Veda all the best things in life, Mildred becomes a successful restaurateur the hard way, by starting out as a lowly waitress and then working almost continuously to better her position in the industry. Mildred even wrecks her own love life for her daughter's sake, and only after doing so does she discover the depth of Veda's ungratefulness.

"Mildred Pierce" is a stark and intriguing film noir from hard boiled novelist James M. Cain and stalwart director of the time Michael Curtiz, whose name seems to be forgotten today. Joan Crawford won her only Oscar for her whirlwind and emotional performance.
