I, however, felt that I didn’t deserve either of them. The best I could say about either of them is that they deserved each other. Having a mother as dull and tedious as Mildred couldn’t have been any fun though, especially since she veered from pathetic weakness to beating her child viciously.
The only thing that makes Mildred remotely likeable is the fact that Veda is so horrible. But I spent most of it wishing that a plague or asteroid would hit, wiping them all from the face of the earth. I stuck it out to the bitter end, and boy, was it bitter. Nope, couldn’t get on with this one at all. As Veda grows up, their relationship becomes increasingly fraught. However, this amazing success isn’t enough for her snobbish daughter who spends all the money while sneering at her mother’s method of earning it. Mind you, when I’m depressed, pie always helps, it’s true. So when Bert leaves/is thrown out, Mildred decides to make pies for a living and astonishingly this enables her to become incredibly rich despite the Depression. This is understandable, since the woman he has married, the eponymous Mildred, is not someone you’d really look to for sympathy or support, though on the upside she bakes good pie. When Bert Pierce loses everything in the Great Crash, he turns to another woman to soothe his bruised ego.
