All That Heaven Allows At The Big Movie At The Magnolia

The Magnolia welcomes Chris Vognar, the Culture Critic of the Dallas Morning News, to introduce and discuss the Douglas Sirk classic ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS at THE BIG MOVIE at the MAGNOLIA presented by DALLAS VOICE this coming Tuesday, February 10 at 7:30pm. Jane Wyman (Stage Fright, The Lost Weekend) is a repressed wealthy widow and Rock Hudson (Pillow Talk, Giant) is the hunky Thoreau-following gardener who loves her in this subversive Hollywood tear-jerker, director Douglas Sirk's heartbreakingly beautiful indictment of 1950s small-town America. Sirk (Imitation of Life, Written on the Wind) utilizes expressionist colors, reflective surfaces and frames-within-frames to convey the loneliness and isolation of a matriarch trapped by the snobbery of her children and the gossip of her social-climbing country club chums.
