Re: "IMITATION OF LIFE" LANA TURNER, JUANITA MOORE SUNDAY 8:00 P.M. EASTERN TCM

I remember the very first time I watched this movie, as a young woman, many years ago.  I cried and cried!  I loved Sandra Dee!

This is one of my all time favorite movies....I watch it every time it’s on. The story is so touching and the topics are timeless. The fashions that Lana Turner wears make me swoon every time I see them. I wish they still made movies and clothes like that. Such style and elegance.

I adore this film, setting the TiVo.  I cry buckets at the end, always, worth every sob.  I love the earlier version with Claudette Colbert also.  Love!!!

I've seen this movie more times than I can count and cry every time. What a wonderful movie! I have also seen the first version with Claudette Colbert. However, the film with Lana Turner is my favorite. Maybe I''ll watch tonight and cry, cry, cry again.

the ending is sad......but "hopeful" in a way.
