## Synopsis

In This Our Life is a 1942 American drama film starring Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland as sisters and rivals in romance and life. This was the third of six films in which de Havilland and Davis starred together. The film was directed mostly by John Huston, in his second film, but when Huston was called to a war assignment, an uncredited Raoul Walsh completed the film. The screenplay was written by Howard Koch based on the 1941 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same title by Ellen Glasgow.
