Mildred Pierce (1945)

Joan Crawford's outfits as Mildred Pierce plays a significant role in showcasing her social and economic ascent. As she tells the beginning of her story, we see her in simple clothes, but her wardrobe improves as her wealth and success in the business world grows. These Joseff of Hollywood accessories and clothes, while stylish, also subtly highlight the class tensions and her efforts to elevate her social standing.

The Brontes in Love

Devotion, 1946

This is Warner Brothers’ version of the famous writing sisters of the early 19th Century. Ida Lupino plays Emily Bronte who wrote Wuthering Heights in 1847, Nancy Coleman plays Anne who wrote The Tenant of Wildfell Hall in 1848, and Olivia De Havilland plays Charlotte who wrote Jane Eyre in 1847. They all died young unfortunately. This movie is not the sisters’ real life stories, of course. This is Hollywood, so it’s a love triangle with Paul Henreid as a clergyman, but the acting is good and the outfits by Milo Anderson are intriguing. This is the early 19th Century with soft shoulders and to-the-floor skirts. The dresses run from the more romantic wear of Anne--see the first and last photos--who is always draped or flowered, to the more serious clothing of Emily and Charlotte. There is day wear and some party wear, even uniforms when Emily and Charlotte go off to teach in France. It’s one of those sumptuous costume dramas that you wish were in color instead of black and white, but you can dream up the colors and exercise your imagination.
