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 (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.
Completed in 1942, the film was rejected in 1943 for foreign release by the wartime Office of Censorship because it deals truthfully with racial discrimination in its plot.
