Love vs fear of gossip


All That Heaven Allows (1955)

Directed by Douglas Sirk this film based on the novel of the same name stars Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson. An upper class, middle aged widow falls in love with her gardener.

You could file this film away as just rich people problems but for a melodrama it is a fairly decent watch. The plot might not exactly be riveting but it ticks along nicely with a modicum of social commentary. All in all this is a fairly decent but a little heavy handed film.

3/5
