[Mildred's confessional begins in a brightly-lit, daytime environment, where she was married, at age 17, to a real-estate broker and was a doting super-mom to her children in a clean, suburban home in Glendale.As the Lieutenant washes his hands, literally and figuratively, he mentions: "I had a call from upstairs."A Captain of the King's forces (later identified as Captain Phoebus) was also spellbound by the dancer: "That girl, what a beauty!"
