Mildred Pierce

May 19, 2002 – permalink

My girlfriend’s back from her holiday. It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon and she’s decided to watch Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce.

It’s a shame that so many of the video transfers of the old films are so bad in terms of sound and image quality. The orchestration in the title sequence warbled like a warped record and there’s a ton of scratches and hairs in each scene.

It’s a shame that this is how many of the classic films are seen by new viewers.
