They really don't make movies like this anymore. It is just a giant and a classic in my opinion that seems to get unjustly overlooked these days.

Mildred Pierce (1945)
Directed by Michael Curtiz
Often categorized under noir and while it's true that it has a noir frame story, the main narrative itself is not
particularly noir. This is really one of
those grand rise and fall epics in a style once typical of golden-age
hollywood. Joan Crawford is just brilliant here. This movie remade her career at a time when she was thought of as "over the hill".
