Sirk&#8217;s films were only truly valued as &#8220;fabulous, ironic piece[s] of performance art&#8221; (as described in <em>1,001 Movies You Must See<\/em>) in later decades, when they were re-appropriated by newer audiences who viewed &#8212; and appreciated &#8212; them from an entirely different perspective. As <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s273sirk.html\">DVD Savant puts it<\/a>, Sirk&#8217;s films are &#8220;fake and honest at the same time&#8221;, presented as &#8220;artificial constructions filled with powerful real emotions&#8221;. This description suits <em>All That Heaven Allows<\/em> &#8212; Hudson and Wyman&#8217;s follow-up to their success in Sirk&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=21311\"><em>Magnificent Obsession<\/em> (1954)<\/a> &#8212; to a tee.  <\/p>\n<p>Wyman and Hudson&#8217;s romance in <em>ATHA<\/em> is never exactly believable; while we can understand why Wyman &#8212; a lonely widow &#8212; would go gaga over hunky Hudson, the opposite motivation simply isn&#8217;t there. We never get a sense of why, exactly, the free-spirited Hudson (who has no desire at all to tap into either Wyman&#8217;s money or social set) feels Wyman is suitable as his new soulmate. Such quibbles must ultimately be set aside, however, given that this is squarely meant to be a <em>women&#8217;s picture<\/em> &#8212; a film designed precisely to appeal to those [females] who could relate to Wyman&#8217;s predicament (as a lonely housewife and mother) in some form or another. Hudson&#8217;s character suits Wyman&#8217;s needs perfectly, and thus &#8212; he exists. Meanwhile, the competing forces in Wyman&#8217;s life &#8212; ranging from her claustrophobically judgmental social circle, to her priggish grown children &#8212; are over-the-top yet believable at their core.<\/p>\n<p>What really makes this and other key Sirk films so memorable, however, is their unique, consistently stunning visual style. Vibrant colors are used to strategic effect here to convey characters&#8217; increasingly intense emotions, with nearly every shot perfectly designed and framed to convey a certain sensibility. Check out the bottom still below, for instance, in which Wyman&#8217;s face is highlighted in the screen of the television set her children have purchased for her as a &#8220;companion&#8221; &#8212; she&#8217;s surrounded on either side by the salesmen who have eagerly set it up for her, but her forlorn expression is undeniable. Much schmaltzier are the images framing Wyman&#8217;s final encounters with Hudson (that deer!), which definitely shift the film into high melodrama &#8212; but by this point we&#8217;re invested enough in Wyman&#8217;s happiness that we simply accept what Sirk offers up to us, schmaltz and all. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jane Wyman as Cary<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Wyman2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Wyman2-1024x573.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"358\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-20695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Wyman2-1024x573.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Wyman2-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Wyman2-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Wyman2.png 1591w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Agnes Moorehead as Sara<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Moorehead.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Moorehead-1024x571.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"357\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-20696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Moorehead-1024x571.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Moorehead-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Moorehead-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Moorehead.png 1596w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Vibrant Technicolor cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Cinematography-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-20697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Cinematography-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Cinematography-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Cinematography-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Cinematography.png 1597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Effectively stylized sets<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Sets2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Sets2-1024x572.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"358\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-20702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Sets2-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Sets2-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Sets2-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Sets2.png 1597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Sirk&#8217;s consistently innovative visual sensibility<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Imagery-TV.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Imagery-TV-1024x572.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"358\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-20704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Imagery-TV-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Imagery-TV-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Imagery-TV-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/All-That-Heaven-Allows-Imagery-TV.png 1597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, as a cult favorite by a notable director.
