 DVD Verdict Review - Mildred Pierce
Jerry Wald, then a producer at Warner Brothers, felt strongly about the book's film potential.

She is dominated by the obsessiveness (albeit of a different type) that femme fatales draw from male protagonists, and when finally free of Veda's influence, like them, she merely survives rather than gaining any great sense of achievement or satisfaction.

This relatively minor 1963 film marked the first cinematic collaboration of Jerry Goldsmith and director Franklin Schaffner, a partnership which was to deliver such important scores - and movies - as Planet of the Apes, Patton and The Boys from Brazil.
