    Mildred Pierce at the Million Dollar Theatre

    After hosting the eighth annual Palm Springs Film Noir Festival, from May 29 &#; June 1, I made it back home in time for screenings of Mildred Pierce at the Million Dollar Theatre and The Damned Don&#;t Cry &#; the latest entry of my continuing Femme Fatale Hall of Fame series at the Silent Movie Theatre. I&#;ll be posting a detailed low down about the wildly successful Palm Springs noir fete &#; complete with photos &#; this coming week. For the present, I wanted to share some details about the Mildred Pierce event.

    It was a distinct privilege to host a sold-out screening of Mildred Pierce () at the restored Million Dollar Theatre at South Broadway in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday June 4th. The screening was part of the Los Angeles Conservancy&#;s Last Remaining Seats series that is now in its 22nd year. For more about the LRS, the Million Dollar Theatre and the L.A. Conservancy, please check out this link:
