She was a talent like no other.

I love that scene. A true actor in her craft.

Philip: You disgust me.

Mildred: Me?! I disgust YOU?! You! You! You're too fine! You won't have none of me but you'll sit here all night looking at your naked female...

Philip: Mildred!

Mildred: You cared! You dirty swine! I never cared for you, not once! I was always making a fool of ya! Ya bored me stiff! I hated ya! It made me SICK when I had to let you kiss me! I only did because ya begged! Ya hounded me and drove me crazy! And after you kissed me, I always used to wipe my mouth! WIPE MY MOUTH!

"Wipe My Mouth" scene

Love her.

But you have part of the dialogue wrong, it should be "You CAD! You Dirty Swine!"

Definitely a bravura performance. Bette's Cockney accent is the only thing about her performance in this film that doesn't succeed.

I have corrected it. Thanks!

Yeah, I noticed that too but for once it did not bother me. Usually a poor accent drives me nuts but not so much here.
