About Toute sa vie
A New York music-hall actress lives in a miserable loveless marriage. After a violent scene, the man leaves her, taking their baby and leaving it with rich Englishmen. Having become a great singer, she finds her son with the help of a lawyer who loves her.
Directed by Alberto Cavalcanti, Toute sa vie leans on a strong ensemble — Marcelle Chantal, Fernand Fabre, Elmire Vautier — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1930.
