Imitation of Life (1934) | Imitation of Life (1959)

We have a jumbo-sized episode covering TWO movies: Imitation of Life (1934) and its remake Imitation of Life (1959)! We discuss the groundbreaking nature behind these movies, which highlights the focus on Black women's stories. However, these films aren't perfect (and are still very white-centric); in this episode, we critique parts of the writing and rethink how we'd liked to have seen these narratives told in the days of Old Hollywood.
