Imitating of Life

An aspir­ing white actress takes in an African Amer­i­can wid­ow whose mixed-race daugh­ter is des­per­ate to be seen as white.

With the last fea­ture film of his career, Dou­glas Sirk signs a film tes­ta­ment to Hol­ly­wood melo­dra­ma, a hymn to the eman­ci­pa­tion of women and a fierce analy­sis of the rav­ages of racism.
