All that Heaven Allows (1955)
Country: US
Technical: Eastmancolor/2:1 89m
Director: Douglas Sirk
Cast: Jane Wyman, Rock Hudson, Agnes Moorehead
Synopsis:
An upper bourgeois widow falls for a young horticulturalist, much to the disapproval of her grown-up offspring and society acquaintances.
Review:
Lush Sirk melodrama from his Universal cycle: bland performances, trite situations, but it's all in the interior design, the sad consumerist lifestyles desperately trying to paper over the cracks in their unhappiness. Cary and Ron know there are more important things... Remade/updated by Todd Haynes as Far From Heaven (2002).
