BackgroundMildred Pierce(1945) is a classic, post-warfilm noirmixed with typical soap-operish elements of the woman""s melodramatic picture or "weeper," including a strand of a typical murder mystery often told by flashback.The re-edited version, the fourth version of the film, now runs 111 minutes (compared to 93 minutes in the earliest version).Barbossa handed her the ruby fragment from the diary - the missing star - and when fitted in place, it magically glowed and mystically connected o Poseidon""s Tomb on the ocean floor below (slightly off-shore), marked by a Three-Pronged Trident (glowing emerald green and yellow)." Meanwhile, she was unaware that her father Shingen was conspiring with her corrupted fiancee to hire kidnappers to locate and eliminate her - so that Ichiro""s will, to be revealed in only a few days, would leave control of the company to Shingen and not to her.
