It has always amazed me that no one has commented on the fact that composer Max Steiner used the same love theme in "Mildred Pierce" as he did in "Now Voyager" Being a Warner Brothers composer, I suppose it was their property to do as they please. But one would think that the great Steiner could have come up with another tune.
It's a great film and certainly deserves better music, at least different music.
Crawford gives the performance of her life and Ann Blyth is genuinely vile in the role of Vita. A great Black and White Classic film from Hollywood's heyday.

The best thing for me about this version of War and Peace is the magnificent score by Nino Rota. I had the vinyl recording of the soundtrack in the 50's when it came out and practically memorized it at the time.
Later on, as my study of music progressed, I realized how Rota had so perfectly captured the essence of Russia with his music. His greatest model is Tchaikovsky and much of Rota's music is a great homage to the Russian master.
My greatest regret is that no stereophonic recording of this wonderful score has ever been attempted. If you want to hear the greatest comparison, listen to Tchaikovsky's "Serenade for Strings" and then listen to Nino Rota's "War and Peace".

I thought I would never see a biopic of Cole Porter as bad as "Night and Day" starring Cary Grant and Alexis Smith. I was wrong, dead wrong. "De Lovely" makes "Night and Day" look like "Casablanca" or "Gone With The Wind" in comparison!! It is just awful.
It is completely unreliable as a biography of Cole and Linda Porter. Chronologically, the movie is all screwed up and wrong.
Worst of all is Kevin Kline's performance as Cole. To begin with, Cole was a small man. This movie should have used someone like Joel Grey or someone of that statue. And Cole was a big homo and had absolutely no interest in women at all. Linda was more like a mother to Cole and certainly not a lover.
And the script is trite and sentimental and grossly incorrect. Won't somebody please make an honest biopic of this great composer's life? Please!!
