1955 • Director: Douglas Sirk
Drama • Unrated • 89 minutes
Universal Pictures
Color • Language: English
Starring Jane Wyman, Rock Hudson
It's a story of forbidden love: a gardener and a wealthy widow fall in love. It seems tame now, but in the insular America of the Fifties it resonated deeply. As interesting as the obvious theme is the subtext concerning the children of Mrs. Scott (Wyman) who would deny their mother happiness even as they pursue their own. Rating: A–
