{"product_id":"mildred-pierce-4k-uhd","title":"MILDRED PIERCE 4K UHD","description":"\u003cp\u003eMelodrama casts noirish shadows in this portrait of maternal sacrifice from Hollywood master Michael Curtiz. Joan Crawford’s iconic performance 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 her 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e4K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eConversation with critics Molly Haskell and Robert Polito\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eExcerpt from a 1970 episode of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe David Frost Show\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efeaturing actor Joan Crawford\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eJoan Craw­ford: The Ultimate Movie Star,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ea 2002 feature-length documentary\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eQ\u0026amp;A with actor Ann Blyth from 2006, presented by filmmaker Marc Huestis and conducted by film historian Eddie Muller\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eSegment from a 1969 episode of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eToday\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eshow featuring\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eMildred Pierce\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003enovelist James M.
