Hi Bryan, there are literally hundreds of articles in Wikipedia comparing a movie with the book on which it is based (there are very few exceptions such as The Boys from Brazil, where there are two separate entries). As far as Mildred Pierce is concerned, the comparison of the two was one of the major points of the former article, which you split up into two parts. Each of these new articles lacks information contained in the other one. In addition, you created a disambiguation page where none was needed before. My question is short and simple: Why? --KF 19:50 24 May 2003 (UTC)
In the section about film & TV adaptations, there is this sentence: "[Cain was responsible for two sources for film noir classics - his 1936 novella for Double Indemnity (1944) and his best-selling work for Mildred Pierce (1945).]" What about The Postman Always Rings Twice?

There is a famous song "Mildred Pierce" by Sonic Youth. [[1]]

I've never heard of the term 'weeper' for a sad film, only 'weepie'. Weeper usually refers to someone crying at a funeral, especially paid mourners.
I've changed "Veda becomes attracted to Monty and kills him when he does not return her affection" to "Veda commences an affair with Monty and kills him when he refuses to divorce Mildred to marry her." The former makes it sound like Monty wasn't interested in Veda, but Mildred does walk in on Monty kissing a recumbent Veda at his beach house. Veda confesses that the relationship has been going on for some time, and later reminds Monty that he told her he loved her numerous times. There was certainly no lack of "affection" on Monty's part, just a refusal to actually marry a "rotten tramp" like her. Sadiemonster (talk) 12:41, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
