Few directors could use color as expressively as Douglas Sirk could. Sarah Jane’s emotionally and mentally fragile state being expressed through dark purples and sad clown faces says more about her character than any words could in Imitation of Life.

An upper-class widow falls in love with a much younger, down-to-earth nurseryman, much to the disapproval of her children and criticism of her country club peers.

"Douglas Sielun melodraamat eivät ole olleet ennestään tuttuja. Odotin elämää suurempia tunteita ja esineiden rikkomista. Lopulta käsissä on kuitenkin melko hillitty kuvaus luokkaeroista ja kulissien säilyttämisestä."

100 Greatest Golden Age Hollywood Films (100 movies items)

"For those who are passionate about cinema, one of the great challenges is explaining the brilliance of Douglas Sirk to those who take films completely at face value. Sirk's passionate romantic dramas, referred to patronisingly as 'women's pictures' in their day, understandably seem overwrought, cheesy and saccharine to anyone for whom plot is the be-all-and-end-all of what makes a good movie.
