A MOTHER'S LOVE LEADS TO MURDER - AND AN OSCAR. What Veda wants, her mother - 'Mildred Pierce '- provides. Even if Mildred must end her middle-class marriage, climb atop the male-dominated business world and marry a wealthy man she doesn't love. "I'll do anything," Mildred says in explaining her love for her daughter. But does 'anything' include murder? From a novel by James M. Cain ('The Postman Always Rings Twice', 'Double Indemnity'), 'Mildred Pierce' is a classy murder mystery, a stylish film noir told from a woman's point of view. Joan Crawford's Mildred ended a two-year career slump, earned her a Best Actress Academy Award® and revitalized her career. Just when you think you got this nominee for five other Oscars® including Best Picture figured out, along comes a shocking twist ending!
