Sunday 15th December 2024 Film – All that Heaven Allows (1955)

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.
