About this product

Product Information

In ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS, Douglas Sirk's haunting suburban morality play, Jane Wyman plays Cary Scott, a wealthy middle-aged widow in love with a younger man considered by those around her to be far below her social standing. Her torrid affair with Ron Kirby (Rock Hudson), a handsome, earthy gardener, quickly creates unbearable societal pressure for Cary. Giving in to the scathing criticism of her stodgy neighbors and her materialistic children, Cary severs contact with Ron. She then discovers--perhaps too late--that her heart cannot be so easily caged.Wyman delivers a strong, emotive performance, and Hudson smolders as her feverish romantic interest. ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS, marked by Sirk's distinctive, lavish visual style, stands as a searing example of how materialism can result in alienation from natural feelings. The film was remade in 1974 with additional interracial themes by German director (and unabashed Sirk fan) Rainer Werner Fassbinder as ALI: FEAR EATS THE SOUL; and later paid homage by Todd Haynes in his 2002 reworking FAR FROM HEAVEN.

  • "All that Heaven Allows" is a 1950's classic and for anyone who has lived through that era it's easy to remember.

    I very much liked this film because it had a happy ending in spite of the gossip and the small mindedness of the era.

  • A movie when movies had values.

    I have watched ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS countless times. I just can not get enough of it; I really appreciate that you had it available. I was a sophmore in high school when this film came out and had only seen it again through the years. But, I'm watching it now, while other movies just sit and wait to be played. Thanks. Joan

  • Super great Romatic movie.

    Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson pair up twice to bring us two great movies. This one has a lot of good life lessons in it; it is definitely not disappointing!

  • The title doesn't reflect what I love about the film.

    I have always liked this movie. It struck me how as parents we want to make our children happy even to our own detriment.
