ABOUT THE FILM:
Originally released April 28, 1949
Director Michael Curtiz and Joan Crawford repurpose the Mildred Pierce rags-to-riches theme with Joan portraying a carnival cooch dancer stuck in a small Southern town. She runs afoul of brazenly corrupt Sheriff Titus Semple (a delightfully malignant Sydney Greenstreet) after having an affair with his milquetoast deputy (Zachary Scott), whom Greenstreet is grooming for the governor’s mansion. When Crawford hooks up with hard-driving ward heeler Dan Reynolds (David Brian), Greenstreet’s political rival, a juicy showdown is imminent. This rousing melodrama was Curtiz’s final and most successful release from his short-lived independent production company.
