										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A key scene and nice mash-up both drawn from Douglas Sirk&#8217;s great 1959 Technicolor version &#8212; a cannily updated remake, as it happens &#8212; of a racially charged classic-era soaper, &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imitation_of_Life_%281959_film%29">Imitation of Life</a>.&#8221; I was bummed to miss this film, and a very rare appearance by Juanita Moore who plays the maternal paragon, Annie Johnson  &#8212; at the <a href="https://www.premiumhollywood.com/2010/04/30/some-final-thoughts-about-the-tcm-classic-film-festival/">TCM Classic Film Festival</a> a couple of weeks back.</p>

<p>Admit, that got to you just a little. That&#8217;s beautiful Susan Kohner there, passing for &#8220;passing&#8221; as it were,  as the classic &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragic_mulatto">tragic mulatto</a>.&#8221;  Somewhat politically incorrect casting aside, she was pretty amazing  here.</p>
<p>Anyhow, here&#8217;s a pretty cool mom-centric mash-up from the film &#8212; and this one doesn&#8217;t mess with the aspect ratio and it features a compelling bit of music from girl-group greats, the Shangra-Las.</p>
