In This Our Life is a 1942 American drama film, the second to be directed by John Huston. The screenplay by Howard Koch is based on the 1941 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same title by Ellen Glasgow. The cast included the established stars Bette Davis and Olivia de Havilland as sisters and rivals in romance and life.
In This Our Life features a rare, sympathetic portrayal of African-American characters. Ernest is accused by a rich, white woman, and it's seen as unjust - not what audiences were used to seeing in 1942. It's no surprise Bette Davis, a racial pioneer in real life, wanted to be in this movie.

At first blush, the adaption of a melodramatic social novel seems an odd pick for Huston to follow-up the hard nosed bitterness of his genre-creating noir “Maltese Falcon.”.
