Summer Under the Stars Day 16: Ann Blyth

Today belongs to Ann Blyth as the 16th star to be featured in this year's Summer Under the Stars. 

I have never seen any of Ann Blyth's movies, but boy was she beautiful. I have absolutely no notes of my own to add as I have never heard of her before right now, but looking at the schedule for today we are definitely in for a heavier day. There are no comedies on the schedule; the lightest we've got is four musicals. The rest are all crimes, dramas and adventures. Her career was not as extensive as many of her counterparts; after a decade and change in film she stuck to just doing guest spots on television shows until she retired from show business in the mid-80s. Let's move on to the lineup!

Daily Cinema Selection: Mildred Pierce

Mildred Pierce stars Ann Blyth as the selfish daughter of Joan Crawford's character, the latter of whom enters the business world in order to secure a place for her daughter. The relationship sours, however, when Blyth's character rebels against her mother's efforts to keep her in control, then they both later find out they are competing for the affections of the same man. I haven't seen a movie quite like this, so I was really interested. I also haven't seen many Joan Crawford movies, so I wanted to see how these two played off of each other. I also want to see which one of them gets the man. LOL
