Cain...TROG was Joan's last movie--surprise!<br /><br />Cain's MILDRED PIERCE is totally different from the Joan Crawford movie (I've never seen Kate Winslet's version, so can't say if it was truer to the book). Cain's book is really the story of obsessive (in a way I found extremely icky) love of a mother for her ungrateful, scheming, adulterous daughter. There's no murder in the book, but the movie got the dayghter's cold and conniving nature down pat.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-26305239641541323512015-01-15T15:21:34.591-05:002015-01-15T15:21:34.591-05:00Quotes from TROG:

So different from the original which played up the melodrama.<br /><br />Joan Crawford in TROG. HA! I thought her work in BERSERK and I SAW WHAT YOU DID was pretty awful until I saw TROG. The movie itself is just ridiculous and Crawford takes it all so seriously without a trace of irony.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-50005974767017813162015-01-15T10:35:25.171-05:002015-01-15T10:35:25.171-05:00I believe I've seen her in something.
