Sunday 15th December 2024
- Film – All that Heaven Allows (1955)
- Director – Douglas Sirk – 89”
- Presenter – Richard White
Sirk’s sumptuous but scathing melodrama explores the various obstacles and objections raised by a middleclass widow’s family and friends against her blossoming relationship with a younger, vaguely bohemian gardener. The exact, exquisite compositions and colours express a stultifying sense of entrapment by social conformism, materialism, and hypocrisy.

Apu is in his early twenties, out of college, and hoping to live as a writer.
