The first of 2 classic adaptations of "Imitation of Life." In the early 30s, audiences had yet to see a film that paired two actresses of different races the way this film did. While it certainly undercuts the darker side of prejudice at the time with traditional Depression-era romanticism, the superbly loving friendship between Colbert and Beavers still wins viewers hearts and tears.

This movie should stir some emotions and make you think about how you perceive yourself and others. Lana Turner plays an actress with a daughter who meets and hires a black woman to run her house. The black women also has a young daughter and this is the tale of the trials of these four women as they share their lives together. Mahalia Jackson adds a stirring song to this very interesting drama!
