Reviews

Dave Giannini

All That Heaven Allows is a relatively simple story, characterization-wise, as most melodramas are, but it has a hook that most, if not all, viewers can latch on to.

"All The Heaven Allows" is one of Douglas Sirk's grandest films, charting the forbidden romance of a middle class widow and society matron with her much younger gardener.

The glorious gift of All That Heaven Allows is Sirk in top form, one of his shining examples of life's wicked parodies.

Strongly slanted to ring the bell with soap-opera fans, but otherwise of limited appeal.

As the camera gradually moves in on Cary's despairing face in reflection, we know the mantra of "life's parade at your fingertips" is really a mandate for her own imprisonment
