Well acted but rather boring.

Erm...well acted, but rather boring. I'm man of few words, unless I'm drunk.

Sirkasm

Melodraman from , 16th March, 2009

Sirk does it again with this savage indictment of a society whose racism forces a black girl to reject both her own mother and her colour in order to escape her 'fate', which is, at best, patronising tolerance and servitude. By comparison, the main narrative concerning the massively ambitious Lora Meredith and her pursuit of success at any cost (including the loss of true love and the virtual estrangement of her daughter), seems almost secondary. The final shot of Meredith and the two daughters in the rear of the funeral car speaks volumes. Fine stuff.

Loved this film, it is a harsh reminder of what really used to happen. How cruel society can be.. not much to say.. other than this film had me sobbing at the end...

A Customer from Ayr, 5th April, 2009

Cassic, viewed for about the 20th time, still cried, was good to see again.
