Muriels Hall of Fame, Class of 2016: All That Heaven Allows (1955, Douglas Sirk)

“There is so much to adore about All That Heaven Allows, Douglas Sirk’s 1955 tale of a love affair between a socialite (Jane Wyman) and younger gardener (Rock Hudson). The acting is top-notch... The crazy-artificial sets, particularly Cary’s house, are outstanding... And, Jesus, the colors!... But for me, it’s Sirk’s use of space that defines ATHA and marks it as one the greatest films ever made." ~ Kent M. Beeson
