Some hammers are not made for pulling. That's why God invented the
Wonder Bar.

Greg, Garrett.  "The Many Faces of Mildred Pierce:  A Case Study of
Adaptation and the Studio System." 

 Literature Film Quarterly.  23.4  (1995):  287-293.  

This analytical essay discusses the major changes in plot development
and
character  meaning that James Cain's novel Mildred Pierce underwent on
its way to becoming a film.  The author attributes the many adaptations
to the need to adhere to the rigorous standards of the 1934 Production
code, the precursor to our modern day rating system.   The subsequent
portion of the essay provides a concise explanation of that production
code, while the remainder of the work explains the changes made in
length providing a deeper understanding of the  movie as it relates to
the novel.
