ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS
"ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS" (1955)
MY THOUGHTS:
This movie was new to me. I thought it was very well done and held my interest throughout. I found it interesting how everyone reacted to her, and them as a couple, simply because she was older; but that was, no doubt, a sign of the times.
"Predicated on a May-December romance. The difference here is that the woman, attractive widow Cary Scott, is considerably older than the man, handsome gardener-landscaper Ron Kirby. Throwing conventional behavior to the winds and facing social ostracism, Cary pursues her romance with Ron, who is unjustly perceived as a fortune-hunter by Cary's friends and family -- especially her priggish brother Ned."
