About
Synopsis
In This Our Life (1942) is a Hollywood drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by John Huston from Ellen Glasgow's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, with Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland playing rival sisters.
Stanley abandons her fiancé and runs off with her sister's husband. The marriage falls apart fast — her volatility pushes him to drinking and ruin. Back home, Stanley turns her attention to the couple she left behind. Davis plays a woman for whom causing damage is less a decision than a reflex — everyone around her is just collateral.
Huston shot this immediately after The Maltese Falcon, and the same economy of character work comes through. Stream In This Our Life (1942) online on iFILM.
