Olivia de Havilland stars in an Academy-Award winning performance as Jody, a mother managing the complexities of a life with and without her son Griggsy, whom she shares with his adoptive mother and her friend Corinne. A sublime women’s film of the studio era, To Each His Own reveals a sophisticated sense of a birth parent’s loss while demonstrating the sensibilities of its era and genre.
