A rather magnificent film to kick off the new year. I loved "All That Heaven Allows" and it turns out the magical combo of Rock Hudson, Jane Wyman and director Sirk wasn't a one-time thing. An arrogant playboy (Hudson) tries to make amends to a widow (Wyman) after he indirectly caused her husband's death and later blinds her. They end up falling in love. Beautifully acted and quite moving without an ounce of phoniness about it.

People keep forgetting that melodrama was a serious genre (or subgenre, more exactly) before it was butchered by daytime television. With this kind of storytelling, soap operas might;ve actually been worth watching. But that would negate the delicacy of these films, and let's not do that. This movie is exquisitely and organically crafted. Half of the reason that it's so effective is that the surprises come from the characters and not the story. This probably accounts for why the two Sirk films I've seen are emotionally very exhausting. I would guess most good melodrama is. But as a consequence, I don't really know that I would see it again.

Possibly if I'd seen this Sirk film first, I would have rated it higher. But the very straight take on melodramatic situations (and there are some shockers) falls short of the glorious over-the-top subversive intensity he would develop later. Still, Rock Hudson shows some great character development as he moves from spoiled playboy to competent neurosurgeon and Jane Wyman is sympathetic, if a bit bland. As always with Sirk, the technicolor mise en scene is top notch.

Expressive colours, Incredible emotions, dramatic twists. Not only is this film just beautifully shot but running through all this glamor is (biting?) social commentary. Plus Jane Wyman is one of the few people that really are cute and a button and Agnes Moorehead brings he engrossing presence too.

[Sirk provides] a coolly formal approach to otherwise unwieldy projects.
