Description
All That Heaven Allows (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]
Directed by: Douglas Sirk
Description
This heartbreakingly beautiful indictment of 1950s American mores from Douglas Sirk follows the tender, unconventional romance between Cary Scott (Jane Wyman), a well-off small-town widow, and Ron Kirby (Rock Hudson), her younger, free-spirited gardener. When their relationship provokes scandal and disapproval from her children and country club circle, Cary is forced to choose between a life defined by others expectations and a chance at her own happiness.
Produced by Ross Hunter and shot in glowing color by cinematographer Russell Metty, All That Heaven Allows transforms a seemingly simple love story into a piercing study of class, conformity, and desire in postwar America. A pinnacle of expressionistic Hollywood melodrama, it remains one of Sirks most profoundly felt and visually expressive films.
