CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Monte (Zachary Scott) and Mildred (Joan Crawford) spend a romantic day together and confess their feelings for each other.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Joan Crawford won an Academy Award for her bravura portrayal of the titular heroine in Mildred Pierce. The original James M. Cain novel concerns a wife and mother who works her way to financial security to provide a rosy future for her beloved daughter, but encounters difficulties and tragedies along the way. Ranald McDougall's screenplay tones down the sexual content, enhancing its film noir value by adding a sordid murder. The film opens with oily lounge lizard Monte Beragon (Zachary Scott) being pumped full of bullets. Croaking out the name "Mildred", he collapses and dies. Both the police and the audience are led to believe that the murderer is chain-restaurant entrepreneur Mildred Pierce (Crawford), who takes the time to relate some of her sordid history. As the flashback begins, we see Mildred unhappily married to philandering Bert Pierce (Bruce Bennett). She divorces him, keeping custody of her two beloved daughters, Veda (Ann Blyth) and Kay (Jo Anne Marlowe). To keep oldest daughter Veda in comparative luxury, Mildred ends up taking a waitressing position at a local restaurant. With the help of slimy real estate agent Wally Fay (Jack Carson), she eventually buys her own establishment, which grows into a chain of restaurants throughout Southern California. Meanwhile, Mildred smothers Veda in affection and creature comforts. She goes so far as to enter into a loveless marriage with the wealthy Monty Beragon in order to improve her social standing; Beragon repays the favor by living the life of a layabout playboy, much to Mildred's dismay -- and possible financial ruin.

Zachary Scott was wonderfully sleazy in this movie. He was a fine actor who, like co-star Jack Carson, died way too young. He passed from a brain tumor in 1965. He was just 51.

[@tiffythekewlchick3457]

The thing about old Hollywood is that it had such a good message in its movies and the romance was just beautiful and not just about sexual intention

[@AleisterCrowleyMagus]

The framing of Crawford against the fire as her passion awakens is such excellent work!

[@mikehattan]

I can not stop seeing this movie with new eyes every time.

[@kazkazzie3906]

Joan Crawford looked gorgeous in the white two-piece swimming costume. The costume really shows off her figure really nicely.

[@dejan789]

I so wish i lived in her time ... she was gorgeous. ...pure beauty. ...

[@karllieck9064]

Joan was so beautiful in this movie.

[@AleisterCrowleyMagus]

Yes but I can only see Garbo in that film...

[@Scissor18Luv]

She was absolutely stunning 🤩

[@ianbrewer4843]

In her prime, JC was one of the most beautiful women in the world.

[@jaretandamanbarak7516]

QUE MARAVILLA,COMO PODIAN HACER TAN BELLAS A LAS ARTISTAS DE ESOS TIEMPOS.

[@LilannB]

Monty was so smooth and romantic saying all the right things to get Mildred to fall in love with him.

[@Muswell]

Love that dialogue.

[@jaretandamanbarak7516]

ESTAS PELICULAS DEL CINE CLASICO SON VERDADERAS JOYAS SACADAS DEL COFRE DE LOS RECUERDOS.VERDADEROS ARTISTAS,ARTE DRAMATICO PURO LO QUE HOY YA NO SE VE.GRACIAS JOAN POR TU LEGADO.

[@wrinthiak3431]

Ol boy had much game!

[@gustavopanesso7297]

She was quite beautiful❤❤

[@mkeogh76]

Zachary Scott is such a sleazeball in this movie, but the same year he played the lecherous leach "Monty" in "Mildred Pierce" he believably played a golden-hearted, salt-of-the-earth farmer in Jean Renoir's "The Southerner." The man could act.

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

Sad he is mostly forgotten today. He was a fine actor.

[@coashddjj294]

I wish so much this were in color. It's a beautifully filmed movie and the acting is terrific.

[@theraven6843]

@guru-in-drag Yes it does!

[@dcny69]

No 🤮🤮🤮🤮 IT’S FILM NOIR FOR A REASON

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

It wouldn't be nearly as good in color. The cinematography could not be duplicated in color.

[@master-kq3nw]

she is good actress

[@gianca60]

This guy was nothing more than a high class gigolo.

[@cupcakes7015]

Rich women always attract the loser men. 8/21/2020

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

Zachary Scott did a wonderful job playing the gigolo.

[@markbrown9458]

They don't make beach houses like that anymore! Everything nowadays is so squared and looks like IKEA threw up trendy furniture and other house ware.

[@dmmchugh3714]

Wasn't he Dr Smith in 'Lost in Space ' ?

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

Zachary Scott had already passed away from cancer by then.

[@dstuart2918]

I can't decide if there's more male or female gold diggers these days. Zachary Scott was always the perfect worm, the scrawny good looking guy trying so desperately to conquer his prey in that desperate Woody Allen yet suave, slimy, rich way.
