AWPL Classic Monday – Mildred Pierce (1945) Stars Joan Crawford – for which she deservedly won the Oscar for Best Actress - as Mildred Pierce, a hard-working mother and successful restauranteur who supports her spoiled daughter, Veda (Ann Blyth) truly one of the most entitled, obnoxious, evil daughters in cinematic history. Also stars Zachary Scott as Mildred’s slimy, hard-drinking beau - Monte Beragon; and Eve Arden as Ida Corwin, Mildred’s sharp-tongued, cynical best friend (classic line: Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young). Not Rated: 1 hour, 51 minutes.
