CLASSICS-In This Our Life

The Front Row Network

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of the most underrated films in Bette Davis' filmography during her time at Warner Brothers. Brandon welcomes Samantha Mason to look at 1942's In This Our Life. Samantha is a history teacher and movie buff who cohosts the Movie Club podcast with former Front Row guest, Hayley Chow. Brandon and Samantha dive into a film that was both current and ahead of its time in many ways. Themes of racial prejudice and possible incest are peppered into John Huston's potboiler. The movie also features one of Davis' most unsympathetic character portrayals. She is supported by an amazing ensemble cast including Olivia de Havilland, George Brent, Dennis Morgan, Billie Burke, Charles Coburn and Hattie McDaniel.
