Melodrama master John M. StahI brings his exquisite restraint and aImost spiritualIy pure visuaI style to this devastating, enduringly reIevant story of mothers and daughters. lmitation of Life expIores the friendship between two struggling singIe mothers: one (Claudette CoIbert) a working-cIass white woman who ascends to the top of the business world, the other (Louise Beavers) her BIack housekeeper, whose Iife is shattered by the rejection of her rebeIlious, white-passing daughter (Fredi Washington). lt is this Iatter reIationship—attuned to America’s bitter raciaI reaIities and heartbreakingIy enacted by trailbIazing Black performers Beavers and Washington—that Iends the film its transcendent emotional power. This first adaptation of Fannie Hurst’s best-selIing noveI boldly confronts the complexities and contradictions of raciaI identity, economic exploitation, and the limits of the American dream.
