Pastel partner crack 20095/31/2023 In Coney Island, the widow aspiring actress Lora Meredith (Lana Turner) finds her six-year-old daughter Susie playing with eight-year-old Sarah Jane, who is the daughter of the black homeless housekeeping Annie Johnson (Juanita Moore). Overall, excellent film, melodramatic it is but not in a bad way. But Susan Kohner steals the show as Sarah Jane, the character I was most interested in and Kohner did brilliantly carrying the second half of this film. Not to mention the acting- although I am not an immediate fan of Lana Turner she is great as the actress oblivious to the issues she faces but be prepared for a lot of delirious and melodramatic mood swings if you haven't seen the film yet, and Juanita Moore is excellent too as the most sympathetic character. Imitation of Life also benefits from some great direction, an engrossing story that deals with a lot of domestic troubles and issues and a well written script. It is absolutely gut-wrenching, and when my family and I saw it there wasn't a dry eye in the room as that song played. The music is excellent too, not just in the incidental music but also in the funeral song sung by Mahalia Jackson. The cinematography is beautiful, as are the costumes, scenery and sets. Imitation of Life is a gem of a film, and for many reasons is a real tear jerker. This swan-song for Douglas Sirk also happens to be I feel one of his best.
