Product Description
Melodrama casts noirish shadows in this portrait of maternal sacrifice from the Hollywood master Michael Curtiz. Its iconic performance by Joan Crawford (Johnny Guitar) as Mildred, a single mother hell-bent on freeing her children from the stigma of economic hardship, solidified Crawford s career comeback and gave the actor her only Oscar. But as Mildred pulls herself up by the bootstraps, first as an unflappable waitress and eventually as the well-heeled owner of a successful restaurant chain, the ingratitude of her materialistic firstborn (a diabolical Ann Blyth) becomes a venomous serpent s tooth, setting in motion an endless cycle of desperate overtures and heartless recriminations. Recasting James M. Cain s rich psychological novel as a murder mystery, this bitter cocktail of blind parental love and all-American ambition is both unremittingly hard-boiled and sumptuously emotional.

white. Once I started viewing could not stop it certainly deserved the Oscars.
The picture is great and the extra's are great. 5 stars all the way.
I can say that I didn't particularly love the movie. I had never seen it till I purchased this copy. I bought it because I am starting to watch 'film noir' movies and this one was ranked as one of the best. However it is not exactly what I imagined. What I was looking for was more of a crime/detective drama....not a family drama. I'd rate the movie itself as a 4 star movie but the presentation by Criterion is 5 stars all the way. You have all the extra's anyone can want.
So....bottom line....my 5 star rating is for the release.
