Review of All That Heaven Allows (1955) by Ryan J — 22 Nov 2009
It's so difficult to judge movies from past eras, especially ones from the 50's. You have to pretend you're back in that time (even if you never were) and act as if the social boundaries of latter years are things that haven't happened yet.
That was really tough to do with this film. But I tried. So with my 1955 glasses on I would say this was a good film overall. Pretty risque dialogue and subject matter. Really good acting. I thought the direction was especially good, with the angles and blocking techniques the director chose.
