Released on this day (10 May 1959) by Universal Studios into UK cinemas: Imitation of Life (tagline: “She found out there were two kinds of life … ONE WAS REAL!”), the lush, complex and magnificent final film and definitive art statement by undisputed maestro of 1950s melodramas, director Douglas Sirk (1897 – 1987). (The movie had already gone into general release in North American on 30 April). “A big crazy film about life and death. And a film about America” is how Rainer Werner Fassbinder aptly summarized it in 1971. As the fabulous Lypsinka concludes, “Imitation of Life may be the most important movie ever made. It has everything: mother love, musical numbers, backstage intrigue, race relations, gowns by Jean Louis, garish Technicolour, irony, Oscar-nominated performances. You name it, it's got it!” And wreathed in soft focus and exclaiming dialogue like “I’m going up and up and up - and nobody's going to pull me down!” and “Steve! Amerigo Felluci! The Italian movie director! He wants me for the part of Rena in No More Laughter - only the best part since Scarlett O’Hara!”, screen diva Lana Turner was simply never better. Coincidentally, this Sunday is North American Mother’s Day and Imitation of Life would make inspired viewing. Just make sure you have sufficient Kleenex as this is the Mercedes Benz of tearjerkers. Pictured: lurid French poster for Imitation of Life.

Lypsinka
Hi! I have a costume I'm curious about, but it's not important if you don't want to look into this. I stumbled onto a clip of Lypsinka performing "I've Got a Spell On You" in the 1994 movie Witch Hunt, and the dress she's wearing reminds me of a Charles James gown called Clover Leaf made in the 50s for Austine Hearst (and I think a few copies were made for his other high profile clients). Would you know if the version in the movie is one of the originals, or perhaps inspired by the gown?
Wow, great catch! Above is Mrs.William Randolph Hearst wearing the cloverleaf gown that was created for her for the coronation of Elizabeth II, followed by a photo of Lypsinka in the 1994 Witch Hunt.
I did some digging to see if it was perhaps an authentic version (if not the one worn by Hearst, one worn by one of Charles James’ clients). Looking up Lypsinka’s Instagram I was able to find this:
Ah, so indeed it is a replica! But a beautiful replica none the less!
You can see a video of the gown from Witch Hunt here, and you can learn more about the Clover Leaf gown here.
