Ollie W @RT90619198 5d Beautiful music, lovely cinematography, and a romantic story from a more refined and civilised time. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 Jan 6 Deemed a classic for challenging a taboo of society at the time. Woman was even guy years older than Hudson in real life and that was deemed sufficient to be a shocking plot. To modern eyes this is overwrought melodrama. There are still taboos around older women in relationships, see Macron for example but it’s hardly worthy of an entire storyline these days. So it gets an average rating from me because it has aged ahah terribly but also because Rock Hudson showed about as much charisma as a rock throughout. Watched on DVD.

It is an interesting social commentary on the state of relationships between an older woman and a younger man back in the 50's. Many, many people in the modern world would not care about their relationship in such a vile way anymore, so it made it interesting to see the perspective of a different world.

It handles a (still) polarizing narrative, examining it from all sides. Though the script can feel contrived, the staging melodramatic, there are few flaws in this film. See more Alec B @Alec97 11/10/2023 The plot is sometimes silly, but still effective and Wyman's performance has just the right amount of quiet melancholy but the best reason to see the film is for it's visuals. Even if you aren't paying attention to the dialogue, the imagery will command your attention. Sirk seems to be telling a parallel story through the brightly colored cinematography (which always seems to hint at the character's hidden passions) and various items the characters own or exchange with one another. None of this is exactly subtle, although most people seemed to miss it in the 50s. These touches make what could have been a second rate melodrama into a beautiful film. See more Read all reviews
