Filmme Fatales looks at some of the most spellbinding, dazzling, and campy female performances in film history! Each month, Chase and Jeff will take a semi-deep dive into one of their favourite female actresses of all time. They will dissect all of the sassy nuances, giving roses where they are due and discussing aspects they didn't love. Of course, they will get silly, stupid, and super gay as they discuss their lives in relation to the drama, glamour, and grandeur of cinema's leading ladies.

26. Joan Crawford - Mildred Pierce (1945)

"Oh, I loved her so much. Oh, please God, don't ever let anything happen to Veda."

For our second week discussing the legend Joan Crawford, we are chatting about her Oscar-winning performance in the 1945 film, Mildred Pierce.

Based on a novel by James M. Cain, Mildred Pierce follows the titular character, played by Joan, as she tries to build a life for herself and her daughters away from her toxic ex husband. What emerges is possibly the most demonic, evil movie villain of all time: Veda Pierce.

We discuss our thoughts about the film, Veda, and Joan's performance, as well as what 1945 feminist takes don't quite live up to a modern perspective.

Next Week's Film: Johnny Guitar (1954)
