Review of Written on the Wind (1956) by Jurgen H — 07 Aug 2007
Sirk worked within the studio system to make art films like this one from the stuff of technicolor melodrama. Examines how our goals and dreams are created and manipulated by our social environment. The golden oil tower in the end is a substitute for Rock Hudson's penis--in fact, this film deals entirely with how its characters must find substitutions for their true underlying desires.
