MOVIE QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“You know, Norma, it’s so easy for a man to slip into a rut. Once he’s caught in it, he doesn’t dare do the things he used to do. He doesn’t feel the excitement he used to feel. If anything, he feels a little scared of life. But you know something? Right now I feel as if I just made my first touchdown. And not a day older!”
Fred MacMurray in There’s Always Tomorrow

All That Heaven Allows (1955), a glorious melodrama directed by Douglas Sirk and produced by Ross Hunter. Middle-aged widow Jane Wyman falls in love with her gardener (Rock Hudson).

Melodrama has always been despised by critics but I enjoy it, and this one has class.

My review: https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2010/04/all-that-heaven-allows-1955.html

Stayed up to watch ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS, which I hadn’t seen since grad school. Such an earthy, sensual film. And its drama about how marriage is always about more than just the two people makes for such a wrenching story. No wonder it’s been remade so many times. #Film #Movies #DouglasSirk
