When it comes to this movie I like the 1959 color remake. That starts Juanita More and Susan Kohner alson that has Laner Turner and John Gaving and Sandra Dee making her debut.
I have seen this movie since childhood and decided to watch it again today. It is just as powerful today as it was back then. Did you all know that the 1959 remake was a box off hit, bring in over six million dollars. It is said that they spent one million on Laner Turners wardrobe alone. Imagine that.
I prefer the remake with Lana Turner. I am not politically correct in anyway but this version was so terribly racist , the relationship between Claudette Colbert and Louise Beavers was not a personal one but more reminiscent of master and servant, it wasn't as personal as the one shared in the remake. I couldn't feel for either of them. The saving grace in this one was Fredi Washington as Peola. She was outstanding, my heart broke for her, one could feel her torment.
@twilson11208 Sounds like YOU feel more comfortable with the 59 remake even as nature of the relationship as had been portrayed in the original would have been much closer to reality.
Glad you don't get to sign off on the content of flicks!
@tomkes100douchebag: You're correct to say that the original would be far more realistic in terms on how the 2 protaganists would have related to one another given the era. You're incorrect in saying comfort had anything to do with my preferring the remake over the original. I couldn't buy the pain of loss shared by Colbert when Beaver passed on since the two interacted superficially with each other. In the remake, the two shared their experiences and showed much more concern with another.
@tomkes100douchebag: A tad more? Why not pretty much the same? Let's just say I appreciated the relationship exhibited by Turner and Moore vs Colbert and Beaver. The death bed scene in the remake had me crying uncontrollably to the point where I took a valium just to go to sleep. In the original which I own as well, it was Freddie Jackson's performance that touched me deeply unlike Susan Kohner (hateful bitch). So each film holds a different value for me with respect to the characters.
@twilson11208 Everything you have written represents your personal reaction to the film and I have been focusing on historical aspects of it, particularly Hollywood's treatment of social issues of the day.
@tomkes100douchebag: Everything you say is your personal reaction to my personal opinion. The historical aspects you threw in were simply a means in which to validate why you felt the original which in your opinion was better in the event my sentiments were initiated by some politically correct knee jerk reaction. Relax, I get it.
FYI, I enjoyed the second version more because Lana Turner is simply lucious. Now that completely fucks you up in the head. Don't engage in self-injurious behavior.
@tomkes100douchebag :Careful now, don't let your brains go to your head. If I recall last, I never asked you or even cared if you liked one version or not. I merely posted a comment and you like a little bitch imagined you were some renowned film critic imposing an unasked, pleonastic piece of wasteful dribble. BTW, thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the remake simply because of Lana Turner's beauty. So the tilt factor was fluff over substance? What a mooncalf.
@twilson11208 Blah blah blah, the more ya spew the more ya proove ya just an empty headed windbag.

@tomkes100douchebag: Oh please, STOP! Remember, you're a facsimile of what you'd like to be. Sorry rugby, but why would Lana or I settle for "An Imitation of Life" when we can have the real thing? Why would any woman settle when we can have the likes of John Gavin or Chris Hemsworth...girlfriend puuuuuuuuuuhleeeeeease. Give it up, you're no match. Here I am thinking I'm corresponding with Mary, instead I get Butchie. Brush up on your Freud and read up on Penis Envy. You have serious issues.
@twilson11208 Seriously, ya know ya wanna fuck. Maybe ya can expand your horizons and find a tranny like Chazzie. Right now ya life is a pure hell of boredom.

Men are far too precious and far too beautiful to resort to something so deviate and twisted as yourself. You hate yourself, trying to be something you are not and never will be. Brush up on your Freud and read up on Penis Envy.
@tomkes100douchebag : I can't be all that bad if you still continue to reply...evidently something is tickling your...um..err...hmm..oh well...whatever it is you call it...Tell ya what, lets not and say we did. Sorry for the hackneyed expression.
@twilson11208 So if you're witless how would you be able to tell that I'm dickless? That big fat object I'm driving through your twat right now? It aint nuthin, just relax and let it do it's thing. We'll help you come up with a word for it later after I've had my fill of ya! Promise we won't call it a dick.
@tomkes100douchebag : Wow, you're real swift aren't you? Didn't you want me to call you Chaz also a "Tranny" dick? We call it deductive logic. Sorry,not the real thing...you're dickless and you know it.Sorry, you can't do anything for me at all...has to be the real thing. Now with that said, you sound like a reasonably, somewhat verbally astute individual, must you really resort to this kind of gutter talk? I mean really, especially in a forum to discuss a film so beloved by many? Fuckin' bitch.
@tomkes100douchebag : Didn't know we did anything to begin with save me indulging your childish remarks. You need a man....badly. I can give you some makeup and fashion tips if ....oh that's right...sorry Chazzy...never mind. Have a good day.
@twilson11208 we could do a threesome if ya want honey. Are you sayin you want me to take the dick while ya watch? Perhaps ya want both of us to do ya a good double fuck! Lemme know!
@tomkes100douchebag: Miss Thing, please. Get a life and stop indulging in porn sites. Find a good tranny like yourself you can share notes with. This queen has no time for deviates like you.
@tomkes100douchebag : You are so full of it..now stop...I just checked your photo and you're a guy...probably gay ..as I don't know of any straight males who would even have an inkling of who Fannie Hurst is. I'm not saying that as a negative but more so as a matter of fact. Miss Thing now please let me alone and move on to your tricks or whatever it is you do to preoccupy your time other than being a nuisance to those on the web. Snap!
@twilson11208 My fat juicy cock is NOT posted all over the net liar!! Now what about the debate spinster?? You riskin complete dryout a ya snatch cause ya choose not ta use it. Tranny embrace life not run away from self. Tranny say, high risk shit? Deal me in cause I wanna live 'fore I die. You, spinster, can't wait fa death. Who live richer life?
@tomkes100douchebag: Unfortunately it would be a moot issue as I'm far from being a spinster, so to be perfectly frank. I wouldn't be able to debate on their behalf, i.e. spinster. So being that as it may, go boast your fat juicy stub to your boyfriend. Out of curiosity, do you feel male or female? Do you wear skirts or just plain ol' butchie? Snap!
@twilson11208 Listen spinster, stop spinning and diddle, you'll like it. When you and I renezvous, if you really want me to ring up a feminine side, SNAP! And it's done. Remember, a snatch is a terrible thing to waste!
@tomkes100douchebag : Oh pleeeeeease. The only fat thing you could possibly make claim to is your girth as well as your stupidity. Now shoo little fly.
@twilson11208 we could do a threesome if ya want honey. Are you sayin you want me to take the dick while ya watch? Perhaps ya want both of us to do ya a good double fuck! Lemme know!

Thank You So much for posting this! I never knew about this one. My mom made me watch the 1959 version when I was younger, no doubt to show that no matter what race you are, you need to respect your mother because you only have one and when she's gone that's it, especially if she is a good mom. Much love and respect to all of the good mommies out there! I hope to be one one day :)

I know Claudette's little girl is supposed to just be a headstrong toddler but man, she made me so annoyed in the first 15 minutes I don't know how her mother could be so patient with her.
Our whole nation's history is based on the invention of race--and the inequality that resulted from it. this movie is just another example of it, with tragic dramatic results.
sooo i was watching the remake, fuckz that, they concentrated too much on the white family..this movie was intended to have the black family as the main characters.
Too bad they could not find any decent actresses back then. It really tests one's suspension of disbelief to think that anyone in their right mind would ever pay to watch this woman act. Much better than the obsenity they made in 1959. That one sure portrays women in a bad light. Where there is racism, sexism is not far behind. Baa baa, say all the sheep who who take joy in degrading others and themselves!
This movie was intended 2 releave whites of the responsibility for the ills N which the part that they r responsible 4 N race mixing-by establish'g a 1/2 white biological father of Peola instead of a full white man as her father who left out of the picture & had no other part, than sperm donor N Peola's life! Who answers 2 this behavior, the 1/2 white? NO! the full white father should have been portrayed & answered 2 the reason of his absence N Peola's life!
A very misleading and stupid movie about mixed racial ralations & circumstances! Portrayed from racist white screen writers. Where is the White dad of Peola, instead of the 1/2 white father as this movie portrays, which is a false reality in mixed raced circumstances!
@SCOTTTHOMAS That's alright too. Again, this movie was absolutely wonderful to be made in the time period it was in. I was surprised at how much the remake was able to stand right above it to me of course.
@thechristykay Agreed. I thought the 1959 version was better than this movie and bit more powerful. That's not because I saw that version before this one though. I re-watched both movies back to back a couple of times afterwards and each time the 1959 version takes the win. But this movie was really good too. I think the later version proved that a remake can be better in some cases and stand on it's own without relying on the original.
@SoYahYah I love black and white movies and photographs. Sometimes color can be so distracting, you can't see the true depth and meaning of the focused point and what it actually contributes to the setting around it... LOL. That is such a true statement, but I wasn't talking about racism right now.
@2441883 i like photographs that are black&white too. I guess i take back that statement. I do enjoy some black and white films. I was watching this movie late at night and I guess i got scared. I actually saw this one movie that had so much color it was distracting and bad i forget the name. some 1970s movie. i get yr point
@SoYahYah I also know what you mean as well, especially if the film is scratchy or too dark. I guess it depends on the physical qualities of the film (or "what-have-you"). That baby... what a pretty little girl.
Peolas mother has enough money, she could have sent her daughter to britain, france or switzerland. Then she would not have do hide her identity, even if noone asked, nobody would have seen this as a problem.
In Austria in the period of austro fachism in the mid thirties, a black american studied in Vienna and was well received, and became something like a son in law of the dean of the institute of chemistry. I wonder how racism got that bizarre in usa, like collective madness
CAN ANY ONE PLEASE UPLOAD THIS MOVIE CALLED (I PASSED FOR WHITE 1960) I really want to see it and i bet alot of other people want to so if any can put it on youtube that would be great.
@LUVJONZ99 there were man other films like this. I actually read it was kind of popular, almost a genre itself to make movies about blacks passing as whites.. but kudos to both cast and crews of each versions. this movie is def a classic and something future filmmakers like myself look up to
thank you for posting peoplewho dont like them shouldnt even comment ,,and just enjoy and be glad people like you take the time to upload..havent got the hang of that yet,,thankyou
@BlueLeopard200 I'm a bit hard of hearing and so I always watch my movies with the English subtitles on. Otherwise, I'm bound to rewind and decipher what people say sometimes. Subtitles make it easier for me to follow the plot without having to stop it every so often.
Thank you for posting! As a representation of light-skinned Blacks, it's an historical oddity, to be sure, HOWEVER, if it's taken as what it was, a flawed but interesting depiction of the struggles of a light skinned African-American woman, it is a pretty absorbing tale.
beatifully crafted film, reflecting events that happend in a black persons life during that time era.
Sadly not many people know the woman starring in this (Fredi Washington) was nothing like her character, and refused to pass as white, because she could never understand why no one let her be a strong black star.
I think this film was also a message for the audiences at the time, although i don't think they ever really understood.
Fredi portrayed her role wonderfully. & is an inspiration.
Great movie but some of the comments on here are crazy. I'd like to know what "oiling up ones snatch" has to with "Imitation of life"?

Too bad they could not find any decent actresses back then. It really tests one's suspension of disbelief to think that anyone in their right mind would ever pay to watch this woman act. Much better than the obsenity they made in 1959. That one sure portrays women in a bad light. Where there is racism, sexism is not far behind. Baa baa, say all the sheep who who take joy in degrading others and themselves!

This movie was intended 2 releave whites of the responsibility for the ills N which the part that they r responsible 4 N race mixing-by establish'g a 1/2 white biological father of Peola instead of a full white man as her father who left out of the picture & had no other part, than sperm donor N Peola's life! Who answers 2 this behavior, the 1/2 white? NO! the full white father should have been portrayed & answered 2 the reason of his absence N Peola's life!

A very misleading and stupid movie about mixed racial ralations & circumstances! Portrayed from racist white screen writers. Where is the White dad of Peola, instead of the 1/2 white father as this movie portrays, which is a false reality in mixed raced circumstances!

@SCOTTTHOMAS That's alright too. Again, this movie was absolutely wonderful to be made in the time period it was in. I was surprised at how much the remake was able to stand right above it to me of course.

@thechristykay Agreed. I thought the 1959 version was better than this movie and bit more powerful. That's not because I saw that version before this one though. I re-watched both movies back to back a couple of times afterwards and each time the 1959 version takes the win. But this movie was really good too. I think the later version proved that a remake can be better in some cases and stand on it's own without relying on the original.

@SoYahYah I love black and white movies and photographs. Sometimes color can be so distracting, you can't see the true depth and meaning of the focused point and what it actually contributes to the setting around it... LOL. That is such a true statement, but I wasn't talking about racism right now.
2441883 9 months ago
@2441883 i like photographs that are black&white too. I guess i take back that statement. I do enjoy some black and white films. I was watching this movie late at night and I guess i got scared. I actually saw this one movie that had so much color it was distracting and bad i forget the name. some 1970s movie. i get yr point

@SoYahYah I also know what you mean as well, especially if the film is scratchy or too dark. I guess it depends on the physical qualities of the film (or "what-have-you"). That baby... what a pretty little girl.

Peolas mother has enough money, she could have sent her daughter to britain, france or switzerland. Then she would not have do hide her identity, even if noone asked, nobody would have seen this as a problem.
In Austria in the period of austro fachism in the mid thirties, a black american studied in Vienna and was well received, and became something like a son in law of the dean of the institute of chemistry. I wonder how racism got that bizarre in usa, like collective madness

It was brave on the part of the filmmakers to make this movie in the 30's or the 50's..considering the institutional attitudes of the time.
LUVJONZ99 1 year ago
@LUVJONZ99 there were man other films like this. I actually read it was kind of popular, almost a genre itself to make movies about blacks passing as whites.. but kudos to both cast and crews of each versions. this movie is def a classic and something future filmmakers like myself look up to

@BlueLeopard200 I'm a bit hard of hearing and so I always watch my movies with the English subtitles on. Otherwise, I'm bound to rewind and decipher what people say sometimes. Subtitles make it easier for me to follow the plot without having to stop it every so often.

Thank you for posting! As a representation of light-skinned Blacks, it's an historical oddity, to be sure, HOWEVER, if it's taken as what it was, a flawed but interesting depiction of the struggles of a light skinned African-American woman, it is a pretty absorbing tale.

beatifully crafted film, reflecting events that happend in a black persons life during that time era.
Sadly not many people know the woman starring in this (Fredi Washington) was nothing like her character, and refused to pass as white, because she could never understand why no one let her be a strong black star.
I think this film was also a message for the audiences at the time, although i don't think they ever really understood.
Fredi portrayed her role wonderfully. & is an inspiration.
