Thank you TCM for keeping these old movies alive.

Just watched Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce this morning. 

 

After seeing this movie several times, I still can't figure out if Momma Mildred or Daughter Veda (Ann Blyth) was the bigger villain.

Interesting observation on the generation gap regarding movie characters and types of movies.  Quite often I prefer the older  B&W movies without the modern special affects.

In my original response, I listed two actors and not the character. Without a doubt mine would be James Bond. I really don't care which actor, though Sean Connery was may fav.
