IMITATION OF LIFE
£650.00
Original British 30 inch x 40 inch Quad Poster for the 1959 Douglas Sirk Racial Drama IMITATION OF LIFE, based on the novel by Fannie Hurst and starring Lana Turner, John Gavin, Sandra Dee, Dan O’Herlihy, Susan Kohner, Robert Alda, Juanita Moore, Mahalia Jackson and Than Wyenn.
Sirk’s final Hollywood feature is a remake of John Stahl’s film of Fannie Hurst’s novel about two single mothers, one white, one black, striving together in a man’s world. It focuses, with typically sharp irony and intelligence, on issues of racial prejudice and inequality. The rags-to-riches dynamic is brilliantly undercut in the film’s later scenes.
