Review of Imitation of Life (1934) by Dwain P — 18 Nov 2007
Typical 1930s melodrama made noteworthy for its unusually frank, for its time, representations of the racial identity crises faced by black and mixed-race women. Despite its obvious liberalism, the film still evidences the era's customary racial and ethnic caricatures.
It's worth watching for its historical significance.
