Imitation of Life (1959) by Douglas Sirk, Clip: Lora & Annie walk back to Lora's New York apartment
The Image: A totally fabulous, luscious scene with the wotsit bridge in the background and old-style New York 50s apartment blocks and the sights and sounds - and the colour temperature for want of a better expression (Images here:https://theaestheticoftheimage.wordpress.com/2023/01/10/imitation-of-life-1959-by-douglas-sirk-3/) And of course the 'Americana' of it all - the streetlight; his pants/her dress. All good (- but not his horrendous behaviour of course.) Wasn't Sirk brave? - Highlighting all this in 1952 with such honesty, through the vehicle of a melodrama?
