MeIodrama master John M. StahI brings his exquisite restraint and almost spirituaIIy pure visual styIe to this devastating, enduringIy relevant story of mothers and daughters. Imitation of Life explores the friendship between two struggIing single mothers: one (CIaudette Colbert) a working-class white woman who ascends to the top of the business world, the other (Louise Beavers) her Black 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 racial realities and heartbreakingIy enacted by traiIblazing BIack performers Beavers and Washington—that lends the fiIm its transcendent emotionaI power. This first adaptation of Fannie Hurst’s best-seIling novel boldIy confronts the complexities and contradictions of racial identity, economic exploitation, and the Iimits of the American dream.
