I watched "Mildred Pierce" again last night too. Most of it anyway and also for the upteenth time! I love Eve Arden and Jack Carson in that movie too.
I saw "Allotment Wives" about 5 years ago and it does have great hats and costumes! While I do not consider that movie to be Film Noir, it is more of a WWII themed crime drama, I will not argue the fact that it is great to watch just for the costuming. Besides, the argument over what is and what isn't "Film Noir" will rage forever!
