Description

The lives of a widow and her housekeeper are united first in mutual need, then success and ultimately, in heartache in this Academy Award®-nominated Best Picture. Claudette Colbert and Louise Beavers are superb as Bea and Delilah, two women with young daughters who build a life and a fortune together selling Delilah's pancake recipe. But success doesn't save them from sorrow with the passing years. Delilah's light-skinned teenager rejects her mother and her race, while Bea must choose between the man she loves and the daughter who loves him, too. Now all of them will pay the price of love in this spellbinding classic, revered as one of the all-time Hollywood tear-jerkers, from collaborators William Hurlbut and Preston Sturges.

    What a great and powerful movie. I now know how people of color felt being black and wanting to be white, because of how much better you were treated if you were white. I wish itunes would offer this movie for sale, because I would buy it in a heart beat. Check it out, Great Movie.

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie. I bought it on VHS and wanted to purchase it via iTunes. Unfortunately it can only be rented, but it is still a great movie.

    This is my all-time favorite movie. I happened to catch it one day, on vacation, in the hotel room. That was over 25 years ago! This movie made me a HUGE Claudette Colbert fan! This movie is simply amazing - amazing story that is well ahead of it's time, considering racial prejudice in the 1930s, amazingly acted by all the players. It's a beautiful story of motherhood, sacrifice, and the friendship and love of two women - one black and one white. You MUST see this movie. The 1959 version is good too, but this is the orginal movie made 25 yars earlier, and it's much, much better.

  • Great Movie

    This film is much better than the later version. The other is so dramatic and over the top, but this one is well played.
