| There is a great exchange between Ida and Monte in Mildred's office. Ida says "Don't look now junior, but your sitting under a brick wall". Monte's reply is "I don't get it". Ida says "You will when"? | 'Mildred Pierce", the Movie
|
it falls on you. Eve Arden played Ida Corwin. She was born Eunice Quedens on 4/30/1908 in Mill Valley, CA. Some of her film credits include "Stage Door" (1937), "At the Circus" (1939), with the Marx Brothers, and "Grease" (1978). She also played the title role in the "Our Miss Brooks" T.V. series (1952-1956). She always seemed to have the snappiest dialogue in everything she did.
yes. Ann Blyth played Veda Pierce Forrester. She was born 8/16/1928 in Mount Kisco, NY. She was 17 years old when she made Mildred Pierce. Some of her film credits include "The Great Caruso" (1951) and "Kismet" (1955). There are two slapping scenes in "Mildred Pierce". Mildred slaps Veda when Veda says "You've never spoken of your people, where you came from, that's natural, perhaps that's why Father"...SMACK. And the second one, Veda slaps Mildred and knocks her down after Mildred tears up the settlement check. Veda says to Mildred "You'll never be more than a common frump who's father lived over a grocery store and who's mother took in washing". What a nasty, thankless child. Maybe she was playing in "King Lear" and didn't know it.
She says she's going to have a baby. Theodore "Ted" Ellison Forrester was played by John Compton. He was born on 6/21/1923 in Lynchburg, TN. Some of his film credits include "The Glass Menagerie" (1950) and "Friendly Persuasion" (1956). As Veda tells Mildred "At this stage it's a matter of opinion and in my opinion I'm going to have a baby. I can always be mistaken". Didn't they have pregnancy tests back then?
To get Veda back. As Monte says "Because your reason for doing anything is usually Veda". Milo Anderson designed the costumes for the film. Back then designers were sometimes credited as "gowns". Some of his designs were for "Captain Blood" (1935), " The Life of Emile Zola" (1937), "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938) and "The Fountainhead" (1949).
Veda's birthday. You may recognize Mildred's maid Lottie if not, you recognize that distinctive voice. She was played by Butterfly McQueen, who's real name was Thelma. She was born on 1/7/1911 in Tampa, Fla. Some of her film credits include "Gone With The Wind" (1939), "Cabin in the Sky" (1943) and "Duel in the Sun" (1946).
Veda. Why does she kill him? At the beach house after her birthday party Mildred discovers Veda with Monte, Veda says, slightly drunk "He never loved you - it's always been me. He's going to divorce you and marry me". Monte, after Mildred leaves, puts the nails in his own coffin by replying "Just where did you get the idea I'm going to marry you?" Veda: "Oh Monte, don't joke like that." Monte: "You think I'm going to marry you - you're very much mistaken. You don't think I could be in love with a rotten little tramp like you?" Well, after that, I'd shoot him too! I must give trivia information credit to IMDb.com. I hope you enjoyed my quiz. :-)

Cruel and unusual. This takes place when Jim is Briefing the IMF (Impossible Mission Force) team on the mission they are to undertake. Ethan then remarks that it tasted better than the sludge they had to drink in the barn in Kiev.

"Hi there!". This wasn't the only defense against Ethan's discovery. Claire also drugged Donloe's coffee. It didn't act fast enough, however. Donloe was in the vault at the same time as Ethan, before throwing up into the dustbin and making his way towards the bathoom.
Baggage car, rack three. Silver briefcase. Combination three-one-four.. She tells Ethan this over the phone, after recovering the NOC list from under her seat, attached with black cloth.

David Wenham. Father Damien was played by David Wenham. The other actors named also had key roles in the movie. David Wenham is well-known to Australian audiences as "Diver Dan" in the popular television series "Sea Change". He has also played the character Faramir in the "Lord of the Rings" movies, "The Fellowship of the Ring" (2001) and "The Two Towers" (2002), and Audrey in "Moulin Rouge!" (2001).
Belgian. Father Damien was born at Tremeloo, Belgium, on January 3, 1840. His real name was Joseph de Veuster. He was beatified (declared Blessed) by Pope John Paul II in 1996. He is currently being considered for canonisation as a Saint in the Roman Catholic Church.
America. Hawaii consists of a chain of 122 islands. Molokai is one of the larger islands. Hawaii became a possession of the United States in 1898, a U.S. territory in 1900 and America's 50th state in 1959. However, in Father Damien's time (1873-1889), Hawaii was an independent country under U.S. protection. Father Damien's leper colony was located at Kalaupapa, on the Makanalua Peninsula. Surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean and cut off from the rest of Molokai by huge cliffs, Kalaupapa provided the geographical isolation which was thought to be necessary for the lepers.
