We watched the HBO version of MILDRED PIERCE this week. Great performances by Kate Winslet, Guy Peerce and the rest of the cast, but I like the Joan Crawford version better.
I like the remake very much. How often does that happen? I thought they did a great job.
I thought it was fine, too.
I assume that it stuck close to the original book.
However, there one major addition they made to the plot of the Crawford movie that made it, overall, a more effective rendition dramatically. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
For those who haven't seen the Crawford movie, I won't be a Spoiler and reveal it here.
