HBO's five-part miniseries of James M. Cain's Mildred Pierce, directed by Todd Haynes, is a magnificent recreation of the 1930s, with a look influenced by the photographs of Saul Leiter. It features a multilayered performance by Kate Winslet and a haunting score by Carter Burwell. NY locations became LA, including the California bungalow-style stucco homes in Merrick, Long Island. As explained in the "Making of" film, the Gables community in Merrick was created to make Hollywood actors feel at home on the East Coast.
