Kate Winslet stars in HBOs lavish mini-series Mildred Pierce. Based on James M Cain's novel, it was last filmed in 1945 starring Joan Crawford and Jack Carson. Director Todd Haynes, who brought a modern sensibility to 1950s scenes in Far from Heaven again brings his eye for frank sexuality and strong women to bear in this five-parter which has just aired on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
