CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mildred (Joan Crawford) recognizes what a bad influence Monte (Zachary Scott) is on Veda and asks him to stay away from her.
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.

Mildred certainly failed at raising Veda, but Monty is 10 times worse than her. At least Mildred doesn’t look down on Monty.

[@joanie3452]

Wow he's a piece of work.

I wish I could write a check that fast! LOL

02chevyguy Right? "I think this should cover it. Now f$$& off!"

I could write checks that fast too if all I did was scribble a few wavy lines.

Never mind that. I wish someone could write ME the check that fast!!

[@kandorstevenson]

What a great film.

[@coashddjj294]

Monty the freeloader.

[@BillofRights1951]

Monty's clothing was nicely tailored on his slight frame....Hollywood costumers knew their stuff!

[@rickack8176]

Zachary Scott. Rock solid. Even admirable.

[@ccinstlouis]

This applies to people to day, moochers who have the nerve to laugh because you are living your life the way everyone should, providing for yourself and your family, yet they have no shame in accepting money from anyone.

Amen.

[@ClearYourMindTravel]

Yep! My uncle owns 4 cleaning stores and his kids, my cousins make fun of him. He cut them off and now they're bitching and moaning.

[@4nlover635]

Joan Crawford could act just as well as Bette Davis if not better.

[@chandanss4918]

She is better than Davis. The only reason few think not is because Davis has 2 oscars, while Joan has just one. MGM never promoted Joan the way Warner bros promoted Bette. If they did, then Joan could’ve easily won 3-4 Oscars.

[@2getha5eva]

Yeah, but Joan's reputation as a person apparently means that nothing she ever did is good. People conveniently forget that Bette Davis's daughter said she was a monster too.

[@mehmetokay7073]

Crawford's range was limited; in direct contrast to Davis, whose range was practically unlimited. That limitation, however, does not detract one iota from the fact that Crawford is one of the greatest we have ever seen.

Any one else recognize the background music from "Now Voyager"?

[@CJ87962]

Why the hell did she hand him that cheque when he's been taking advantage of her money and her underage daughter

[@jackanthony976]

Rich women often have to "settle" to get rid of a man.

[@agenttheater5]

So he won't have a reason to come back complaining that she owes him anything or that she's treated him badly. It's enough money too keep him away from her door. She doesn't owe him anything now and he has no reason to go anywhere near her or Veda.

Zachary Scott was wonderfully slimy as the gigolo Monty. He was a much underappreciated actor.
