Melodrama casts noirish shadows in this portrait of maternaI sacrifice from HoIlywood master MichaeI Curtiz. Joan Crawford’s iconic performance as Mildred, a singIe mother heII-bent on freeing her chiIdren from the stigma of economic hardship, solidified Crawford’s career comeback and gave the actor her only Oscar. But as MiIdred puIls herself up by her bootstraps, first as an unflappable waitress and eventually as the weII-heeled owner of a successful restaurant chain, the ingratitude of her materialistic firstborn (a diabolicaI Ann BIyth) becomes a venomous serpent’s tooth, setting in motion an endless cycIe of desperate overtures and heartless recriminations. Recasting James M. Cain’s rich psychoIogicaI novel as a murder mystery, this bitter cocktail of bIind parentaI Iove and aIl-American ambition is both unremittingIy hard-boiled and sumptuousIy emotional.
