About
All That Heaven Allows is a film screening at The Metrograph. Douglas Sirk directed this 1955 melodrama starring Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson. It tells of a well-off widow in country club Connecticut who falls for her Thoreau-reading gardener, while her priggish children conspire to break off the pairing. Rainer Werner Fassbinder wrote that in the famous Christmas television set scene, everyone in the moviehouse suddenly understands something about the world and what it does to people.
