TCM Race & Hollywood "Imitation of Life"
This video shows clips from the original 1934 film "Imitation of Life" directed by John Stall . It features Claudette Colbert, Louise Beavers, and Freddie Washington and examines the role of race in modern culture. The story is narrated by interviews with historian Donald Bogle. It's one of many we did for TCM's Race & Hollywood series many years ago. Writer/producer Jean Franz worked with editor Michael Koepenick on this interstitial. The super cool intro and ending graphics were created by Eric Defino and Ray Gun.
