Mildred Pierce

Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers, 1945. Vintage reference photograph of director Michael Curtiz wielding a megaphone on location for an suburban exterior shot for the 1945 film. With a printed mimeo snipe on the verso providing detail regarding same.

Based on James M. Cain's 1941 novel, which follows a newly divorced woman as she begins a career as a baker to provide for her family, to the shame of her spoiled, ungrateful firstborn daughter. A career-reviving role for Joan Crawford, who won an Academy Award for her performance, following her 1943 departure from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
