Also notworthy that at the time, the novels of James M. Cain were both noted and noteworthy as hot. It took 3-4 years for an acceptable script for MILDRED. MILDRED PIERCE was a known title, 3-4 years before the film version, just like THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE... considered unfilmable

Some will claim that what defines a Teaser poster is the absence of the film's title, though the word Teaser was applied by NSS and others, and sometimes combined with the word Advance, to posters that often did include the title or part of it - in other words, you'll find posters designated
