El realizador Douglas Sirk ha pasado a la historia como gran artífice de melodramas románticos en Hollywood. El más famoso de ellos, con toda seguridad, es All That Heaven Allows (E.U., 1955), un relato que por debajo de su colorida fotografía en Technicolor, gran manufactura visual y clásica banda sonora, llevaba un fuerte subtexto sobre los prejuicios y la discriminación sociales.
La historia era muy sencilla en su forma: una viuda de clase acomodada, Cary (la recientemente fallecida Jane Wyman), con dos hijos jóvenes, encuentra la posibilidad de rehacer su vida al enamorarse de un humilde pero apuesto jardinero, Ron (Rock Hudson). Sin embargo, Cary tiene otro pretendiente de su mismo círculo social, y los problemas vendrán cuando sus amigos sepan sobre la relación que lleva con Ron. Para colmo, los chantajes sentimentales de sus hijos no se dejarán esperar.
A pesar de la sencillez del relato, la narración de Sirk imprimía emoción y suspenso a la historia, en esa notable secuencia del accidente final, montada de manera eficaz y que basaba su intriga en la manera de distanciar a los personajes. Por supuesto, la voz de la razón venía del personaje del médico, quien en una escena clave hacia ver a Cary que no importaba lo que dijeran los demás, o lo conflictivo de su entorno familiar-social, la respuesta para su felicidad la tenía ella misma.

MCT:March 15, 2008A delightful classic romantic movie. It feels like a very stereotypical romance movie of forbidden love where everything is against it, but it has a freshness about it, it brings out a smile to you and it feels genuine. I was very into this movie, the shots were well done and extremely unique too and brought out a whole new dimension and the action was fantastic too, the dialogue doesn't beat about, it allows us to feel more from action than anything else.

MCT:February 15, 2008A beautiful movie - of the usual calibre you would expect from Sirk. Rock Hudson's one of my favourites anyway (who wouldn't fall for their gardener if he looked like that?) and he turns in a great performance. Wyman doesn't have the same screen presence as some of the great queens of melodrama - Stanwyck, Davis etc. - but her understated style suits this role. However, it's not the cast that makes this movie - but the direction, lighting, colour and cinematography - all delivered with that distinctly Sirk mark of excellence.

Incredible. There are few things I enjoy as much as a good ol' fashioned cinematic fuck you, especially when it's a fuck you to an uptight, repressive, sexist, ignorant and wealthy white society of the 1950s. This movie is beautifully filmed, the colors, the lighting, are incredible. A fantastic, melodrama, the standard for which all others must be compared to.

How can I choose just one Douglas Sirk movie as a favorite? I won't even try; go out right now and see or rent or buy every single one of them. Go ahead. I'll wait.
