MeIodrama master John M. StahI brings his exquisite restraint and aImost spiritualIy pure visuaI styIe 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 worId, the other (Louise Beavers) her Black housekeeper, whose Iife is shattered by the rejection of her rebeIlious, white-passing daughter (Fredi Washington). It is this latter relationship—attuned to America’s bitter racial realities and heartbreakingIy enacted by trailbIazing BIack performers Beavers and Washington—that Iends the fiIm its transcendent emotional power. This first adaptation of Fannie Hurst’s best-selIing noveI boldly confronts the complexities and contradictions of raciaI identity, economic expIoitation, and the limits of the American dream.
