just saw Written on the Wind.... amazing Mello-Drama, from the king of dee mediun... this film is sooooo amazing that if you really put it in context, he ruled dee 50's, at a time when SOAP OPERA's were starting out....... this film cost universal $2mil and made $20mil... not bad, especially since Sirk averaged 2/3 films a year during the 50's......
Go Sirk Go!!!!!!!!

Saw this months ago and enjoyed it. Robert Stack was especially great. I may rent the DVD again this weekend. All That Heaven Allows is another excellent melodrama from Douglas Sirk.

This film was about as exciting as watching paint dry.

This film WAS about as exciting as watching paint dry....
...if said paint were on a canvas and signed Picasso.
I've just seen it. I liked it, but i was expecting more, something as good as All That Heaven Allows, which is an absolute masterpiece. But very good nevertheless.

You know that Hollywood will remake this at some point....
and thereby destroying this precious gem!!!!!!!!

If the eventual remake is bad, is just a bad film by itself, doesn't destroy the original one.
When you kill a man to defend an idea, you're not defending an idea. You're killing a man.
