The final film, and a farewell to Hollywood. In the post-war years, an aspiring actress, widow, and mother, hires a poor African-American woman, and mother, as a maid. The maid’s daughter, Sarah Jane, is light-skinned and craves to be perceived as white. “A great, crazy film about life and death; and about America”. (R. W. Fassbinder)
