Douglas' Magnificent Obsession A Summer Place Imitation of Life MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION/ DVD Rock Hudson see more Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman were so successful in Douglas Sirk's Magnificent Obsession that they reteamed for this, his first melodrama masterpiece. Young hunk Rock is a strapping son of mother nature, a gardener who woos middle-aged, middle class widow Wyman to the snooty disapproval of her conservative social circle and embarrassment of her self-centered children. Wyman discovers a new life with his open-armed friends and back-to-nature lifestyle, but struggles with life-changing decisions in the face of social pressure and vicious gossip. Living the Henry Thoreau dream, Rock inhabits his personal Walden in a rustic country cabin by a bubbling brook, a dream house lit by a giant picture window overlooking an idyllic countryside where deer pose just outside the window. Wyman's elegant but sterile suburban home transforms into a tomb when she sacrifices her love for the 'good name' of her children, and the lonely widow sees her future in the pale, colorless reflection of her TV screen. But don't despair just yet: Sirk's heroines are dynamic and resourceful and no Sirk melodrama ends without a heart-tugging, over-the-top twist. German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder, who championed Sirk as a master and a mentor, remade the film as Ali: Fear Eats the Soul decades later. --Sean Axmaker Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - All That Heaven Allows This is a movie that I love. It is a very good movie for the Christmas season.It shows that you can't put off your life for your children all the time. You need to make them understand that they will be leaving home at some time and you will be alone. You will need someone by your side and to keep you company after they leave home.Children can be selfish until they get with their friends, then they forget mother. I saw the movie on tv some years ago but they don't show it anymore. Read More Rating: - Why is it so expensive? Everywhere I looked this classic movie is almost 40 dollars i finally ordered the vhs just to have this in my classic movie collection . I love this movie the only problem I had was The guy Hudson played wanted Carrie to give up everything and he give up nothing,very selfish in my opinion, Did anyone notice the party scene is almost like the scene in the move My Reputation with Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent Rating: - All That Heaven Allows "All That Heaven Allows" is a 1950s sudser that can be watched on a couple of levels. First and foremost is the entertainment value. Jane Wyman is so terrific playing widow Carrie Scott. Within the first twenty minutes of the movie, three different suitors move in on her. The most intriguing, and from the perfect 1950s standpoint, the most unconventional, is her landscaper, Ron Kirby. Ron is younger. Material wealth means nothing to him, preferring to spend his time with his trees, living Thoreau ...

His films are breathtaking to behold. The colors, the production values, the acting. All that Heaven Allows is the perfect cocktail as is Written on the Wind. See also. Todd Haynes homage in Far From Heaven. These films are also wonderful historical documents, they serve as windows into an America that disappered with rotary phones and home milk delivery. Sirk's women like Hitchcock women rivet you to the screen. They never fail to delivery the one two punch of ...
