All That Heaven Allows (1955)

Posted on 01:36 by uthpa
Highly Recommended
USA
Feature Film
Director: Douglas Sirk
Writers: Peg Fenwick, Edna Lee, Harry Lee
Cinematographer: Russell Metty
Composer: Frank Skinner
Cast: Jane Wyman, Rock Hudson, Agnes Moorehead, Conrad Nagel, Virginia Grey, Gloria Talbott, William Reynolds

Sirk’s damning portrait of small town, bourgeois discriminations and hypocrisies – a sumptuous, romantic melodrama, with beautiful, pregnant mise en scène and moving performances – is tarnished only by the (happy?) ending, which is perhaps something of a cop-out. Iain.Stott
