Join the OKCMOA Film Society for a screening and discussion of Mitchell Leisen’s rarely-seen 1946 drama To Each His Own, featuring an Oscar-winning performance from Olivia de Havilland and thematically resonant costumes by Edith Head. Spanning the decades between the First and Second World Wars, the film draws on thoughtfully crafted period design to chart the personal and professional evolution of single mother Jody Norris (de Havilland) as she strives to reconnect with her son.
This event is free and exclusive to OKCMOA Film Society Members. Pre-registration is required.
ABOUT THE FILM
To Each His Own
Mitchell Leisen | 1946 | In English | 122 minutes | NR | DCP
“Charles Brackett, who wrote and produced, injected a human quality in the script, and Mitchell Leisen makes full use of it in his direction. The start and finish of the story are laid against a wartime London background but flash back to World War I and a small-town locale. It depicts the love and sacrifices of an unwed mother for her son, born out of a one-night romance with a war hero in 1918. It carries her through the years to London where the relationship is still unacknowledged, she waits to catch a brief glimpse of the young man as he comes to town on leave.
The artistry of Olivia de Havilland as the mother is superb. From the eager, young girl whose first romance ends when her hero is killed before marriage, through to the cold, brusque businesswoman, her performance doesn’t miss a beat.” -Variety, 1946
