Review of Imitation of Life (1959) by Ashley H — 27 Apr 2012
Imitation of Life is an amazing film. It is about a struggling young actress with a six-year-old daughter who sets up housekeeping with a homeless black widow and her light-skinned eight-year-old daughter who rejects her mother by trying to pass for white.
Lana Turner and John Gavin give wonderful performances. The screenplay is well written. Douglas Sirk did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance.
Imitation of Life is a must see.
